> Alii - I took Wellbutrin on three occasions, on and off for 4 years, with the longest continuous treatment being 18 months. I am taking Effexor XR now, as the Wellbutrin did not seem to work as well for this last episode (although there are extenuating circumstances for this last bout of depression and it may have a different causality than my normal, seemingly lifelong depression).

Have had anxiety for over a year with a lot of facial flushing and some muscle weakness. My doctor has had me on all the SSRI's .. most recently Celexa. They all give me the creeps and don't help my anxiety (diazapam and beta blockers help). I asked for Wellbutrin and was told it's too stimulating. I argued and won and it appears to have helped some of my symptoms. Any theories?
