In reply to Seroquel for anxiety, posted by X-ray on December 21, 2009, at 10:26:19
How long have you been on Wellbutrin? If you've been on it for a while and it is the only thing you think will help with your depression, it may be worth it to try something like zyprexa or seroquel. Otherwise, I would not bother with taking and antipsychotic. Instead, I would try to find a better antidepressant without the agitation.
If you are just experiencing agitation because you are still adjusting to the recent introduction of wellbutrin to your system, I definitely would NOT take an antipsychotic. In this case you need to just give it time and see if the agitation goes away.
I'm sure supplements/herbs are not powerful enough to quell your agitation but you could try them anyway. Some that have been suggested to me and I already knew about and tried are:
Magnesium-may have also helped me with sleep.
Glycine-may have helped with sleep
GABA-works pretty well from my experience
Theanine0-calming but also activating from my experience
Ashwagandha-calming and energizing
Bacopa-this may improve your cognition and treat
your anxietyI would also take klonopin before taking seroquel or zyprexa.
So I guess Lyrica isn't good enough for your agitation. Maybe a higher dose would help?
How long do you think you would have to take the flupenthixol? If it is short term, why not stick with it until the agitation from wellbutrin is gone.
You know, there are some people on this board that believe Nortriptyline to be superior to Wellbutrin. It is something to seriously consider.
