BUT Wellbutrin is also known to increase anxiety in certain patients. It's not an SSRI medication like most anti-depressants prescribed today (SSRIs are serotonin related) such as Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft and other popular SSRIs. Wellbutrin deals with dopamine receptors in our brain.
On the downside, this medication does not appear to have any anti-anxiety effects. However, if a person happens to experience a major depressive episode along with anxiety, then Wellbutrin may be beneficial. Complicating this is another caveat â if it is given in higher doses, the anxiety may increase.
