I have so many problems with anxiety I get all uptight then I get breathing problems and I cant stay calm and it dont seem like its asthma cause my inhaler doesn't do anything for this kinda stuff (i haven't used inhaler in months dont think I have asthma nemore i think its a anxiety problem) I feel dizzy alot I get bad withdrawls when I forget to take my wellbutrin for a few days headaches all the time I have to deal with acne all the time.... I am not very social. I dont know what to do with life I have no clue these problems suck. I also have a big problem sleeping cant sleep much at all and when I do get to sleep I sleep for 10-18 hours at a time sometimes more I haven't been able to keep a job because of my sleeping problem... What should I do I am so confused it sucks hardcore..... I also have big problems with taking new pills I get lots of anxiety right after I start to take a new med. Told my doc about this he did nothing yet he said o well mabey the wellbutrin will help the anxiety........... YEAH RIGHT what can I do to keep calm and get back on a normal life drop all medication? I dont like the way I feel in life and dont feel in connect with reality....

Drugs like Wellbutrin and Adderal can cause an awful lot of anxiety. Both these drugs are known for causing some very intense anxiety in some people. You are on a low dose of Wellbutrin. You can always get a second opinion. Something like Paxil might help you with the anxiety-I dont know but can you get a doctor to try something different?

Hi mightbaal,
I usually don't reply on this board, but I seen your post and had to reply.I too have very bad anxiety problems, and I have found that when I take medicine it makes my anxiety worse. I don't know why, but it does. I took a trip by ambulance to the Er due to this thinking I was having an allergic reaction to some cold medicine I was taking for congestion. My heart rate was 160 beats a minute, I felt as if I was in another world, had burning and tingling sensation all over my body, naseau, and a terrible headache. They told me it was just anxiety and put me on Nuerotin for the burning, b/c they said my nerves was causing that. I have found that when I stay away from those type of medicines my anxiety lessens tremendously. If I were you I would post your story on the Anxiety board. I have found alot of help their. I know this doesn't help you much, but I know where you are coming from. It's a terrible cycle, and you feel as if your dying, and all you want is someone to help you. My thoughts are with you, worriedfemale

Mightbaal, I do not take the medicines you talk of but have in the past been taking many pain killers and anti depressants plus many more pills too many to mention. My advise to you is CHANGE YOUR DOCTOR He sounds like a total quack. He Isnt listening to what you tell him. Your life is worth so much,

take it back and get a new one. My prayers are with you

Many times the meds we are given to treat a problem can actually cause anxiety symptoms instead of correcting it. Best to get second opinion and different meds.
