iaawal Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Ever since yesterday. I got super anxious. Can't blame it on the wellbutrin since I started that today. Everything just makes me more anxious. I have to send an email right now. But what if I screw it up. OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. Of course this happens, hypo/mania is controlled. OCD is controlled. Depression is controlled. Psychosis is controlled. So anxiety is like "HEY TIME TO PARTY!!!!!" AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do. I've tried calming activities. I might as well be taking sugar pills because the ativan ain't doing anything. God I hope this doesn't develop into a panic attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_Rising Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Try doing things that you find relaxing. Meditate. Sniff fragrances that you like. Take a walk. Remind yourself that the panic isn't permanent--it will end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooster Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Ironically, sometimes people do feel more anxious when starting up wellbutrin. But it sounds like that might be more a "contributing" factor than "primary" factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I couldn't take Wellbutrin due to higher levels of anxiety. I'd keep tabs on it to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaawal Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Totally forgot I made this post. I have a vanilla scented fragrance oil at work and at home that relaxes me. I roll some on and sniff it. It helps. I'm going to see if I can tolerate the wellbutrin without relying on my ativan so much. I hope it doesn't increase my anxiety more. I don't know which is worse my possible untreated ADHD or my anxiety. Both make life so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
