> Hello, I'm on effexor xr and we added wellbutrin xl (i cannot keep these initials straight - long lastings ones). It seems to be the right combo for me, but the wb has made me thirsty all the time, my eyeballs are dry too, and (ahem) I'm constipated. I get aggitated at various times throughout the day, but I'm learning meditation which helps a great deal.

FWIW , i don't think Vistaril has much of an anxolytic effect. Especially If you had GAD, BP II AND painic attack. Has your doc ever suggested Klonopin? it might be worth while. I'm also glad to hear that you are able to do meditation and that it,it is effective for you.
Good Luck
