Many people cannot endure through the stimulation of Wellbutrin, and it can cause anxiety in the very beginning of treatment. Simply, SSRIs have more anxiolytic properties.
One doctor on Dr. Bob's Psychopharmacology Tips considered Wellbutrin "pro-convulsive"--a common reaction of doctors to the extremely low incidence of seizures with Wellbutrin. The actual rate of seizures with Wellbutrin is similar to that of tricyclic antidepressants: in the early studies done on Wellbutrin in the late 70's the rate of seizure occurence was about 0.30 percent in general patient populations taking dosages as high as 900mg.
