> ~dDon't hate yourself, hate the freakin' illness you have. I think your illness has gotten worse, and like I said before, you need a med change. You shouldn't be on Wellbutrin with your anxiety situation. Get into your pdoc asap and until then increase your klonopin which is excellent for social phobia and anxiety. I'll say a little prayer for you too. :)

thanks for the prayer. I need it right now. I think that I'll take a lower dose of the WB today and see if it helps. Do they make XL in doese smaller than 300mg? I know one doc said the XL is easier on folks with anxiety. I'm just so tired of crying over nothing. I like how you said to hate the illness and not myself. Another question. When I started this med regimine of WB and Kl- it really worked. Id it possible for the WB to stop working? I've heard people say on here that their meds have "pooped out." Perhaps that is what happened here, it worked for a while and now is causing the problem rather than fixing it.

> -dHi D,
Yea, they make Well. XL in 150's as well as the 300's. Insomnia and cns stimulation are two of the most comon side effects. And yea, poop-out is a problem with all AD's. There are many good meds you could try that are much better for anxiety and social phobia than wellbutrin. But for now, to get some relief, take a little more klonopin...you can reduce it back down after you get on a better AD. Hang in there and i will continue to pray for you.Tyler

> TylerTyler,
I got a rx for 150XL today from my doc. She is going to talk to my therapist. I will see the doctor in a few weeks and let her know how the lower dose is feeling. I'm scared of going off the Klonopin. Doc said maybe we need a new anxiety drug. I can't take SSRI's and have tried so many I can't even count- all with the same results- BAD side effects. It has been the only thing that has not caused side effects. The WB helps my add, smoking and depression all in one- well, minus the depression now. I took a small dose today and am feeling a tid bit better. It was a 75 mg tablet from the last time I tapered off. Tomorrow I'll pick up the 150's and go from there. Thanks, Tyler.You people on here have no idea how much it means to me that you are always here. It's better than a journal- because I get feedback. Thanks. You all have good hearts...and if Bob finds out you are rude- he will throw ya out! Thanks to Bob for keeping this site so peaceful. Late!
