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.
Anxiety often accompanies depression, so by treating the depression with Wellbutrin it's conceivable that your anxiety would be reduced. From personal experience (I've been on Wellbutrin two years) and others, it's unlikely, though--I have continued on an anxiety medication along with the Wellbutrin. Discuss your symptoms with your doctor and describe the degree to which the anxiety is affecting you.
