Details:

I've been taking WellbutrinXL 150mg daily for 6 months (with Celexa 20mg) and its great. I've lost weight, have more motivation and energy etc. However I do find that I'm anxious a lot. As Wellbutrin XL does not come in a lower dose than 150mg... I was wondering if taking the SR version would work as well for me but cause less anxiety.

I have taken both SR and XL and found no difference in how I feel. They seemed to work the same. I take the XL now but I'm up to 300 mg per day.
I gained weight though, tell me your secret?

The WellbutrinXL just seemed to help me not to crave carbohydrates so much. I had given it a lot of thought and just woke up one morning and joined weight watchers online and did it. I've lost 45 lbs since the end of Feb/10. Thats the weight I had gained from taking Prozac for many years!!
Do you feel anxious on the Wellbutrin at all?
