For some reason after suffering a stroke about 8 months ago, stress turned into anxiety. I have feelings of some anxiety most of the time and more intense anxiety during stressful situations. It seems like the stroke took away some protection from anxiety.
I have been on Wellbutrin off and on for years, taking 100mg twice a day with no side effects. It has generally helped my mild depression. I went to see my doctor about the anxiety and he had me take 7.5, mg of Buspar twice a day. I experienced dizzy/faint feelings for the whole three weeks I was on it. I went to see my doctor again and he took me off the Buspar and gave me the 300mg Wellbutrin hoping that would help with the anxiety, it made it worse. I called in and they suggested taking the Buspar once a day with the Wellbutrin . I think this has helped with the anxiety a little but I still have it and the dizziness/faintness has returned. I am wondering if I should go back to 100mg of Wellbutrin and take 1 Buspar and see if that helps. Any thoughts on what to consider. I have been on the curent mix for a little over a week.
