It may sound strange, but my rx for Wellbutrin is for panic disorder - most SSRIs and even the occasional xanax (which is nice to have on hand) made me so DAMN tired.
I'll try my best to explain my experience - Wellbutrin seems to help me "challenge my perceptions" which, would often be the point where a panic attack could appear from no where. For example, my attacks got so frequent that they were beginning to be set off by things like a light dimming in a classroom, or a motion in the background. For some reason, this med helps me analyze those silly occurances that used to make me REALLY anxious and send me into a panic attack. Wellbutrin also seems to act as a mild stimulant for me, which is a bonus. My anxiety used to always be heightened during periods of the day where I was "wearing down." Another bonus is that it has a mild effect on issues of ADD.
