Have someone taken Wellbutrin XL for severe anxiety and panic attacks? What are pros and cons? Thanks so much for answers 🙏🏻

One good thing is that it is not an.SSRI it is more based on dopamine

How is it a good thing?

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to kokkoo]

SSRI drugs are serotonin based so your brain gets saturated with serotonin and dopamine receptors can and do get damaged which means people lose the ability to experience pleasure bc dopamine gives us pleasure serotonin calms us down

They are dishing out SSRI drugs to young people giving them brain damage

They don't even test serotonin levels when.they prescribe SSRI

And then there is withdrawal which can be traumatic for some people

I mean serotonin could be what you need Idk , too much dopamine can be problematic too

Should I get tested then for serotonin levels then in order to understand if that’s what I need?

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to kokkoo]

There isn't a test for serotonin?

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to kokkoo]

I don't know what to advise regarding drugs

Evening primrose oil is good for anxiety also have you considered hypnotherapy? You need to get a really good one though

I take Wellbutrin as a supplement to my anti-depressant for energy/motivation. I don’t have a panic disorder so I can’t speak for that, but it made me lose a fair amount of weight (as it happens, I welcomed the weight loss). I definitely wouldn’t say my anxiety is worse now than before I started taking it, but I still risk physical jitters with any significant amount of caffeine/sugar. Other than what I mentioned, no particular side effects.
