i've been considering wellbutrin recently (i've never been on any other anti-depressant) and from reading posts here on the drug, it seems that it causes anxiety, crying spells and paranoia. the same posts that report these side effects condone the drug. i don't understand! why take it if it just makes things worse?
i have low energy, sense of hopelessness, thoughts of suicide, anxiety, crying spells, paranoia/social phobia... i'm a complete mess! after years of avoiding it, i'm finally ready to try a prescription drug. (cocaine being the only other drug that seems to fix me, albeit for 30 minutes at a time). so i'm guessing my problem is a dopamine defficiency. now what?

maybe you could try getting on a SSRI antidepressant like paxil,prozac,lexapro,celexa, and then talk to your doc about adding wellbutrin to it to provide a slight dopamine "pep"?
Hope you find something that helps
