I stopped taking Wellbutrin a couple of months ago

6. "Anxiety is the Mother of Depression". You are doing the right thing, recognizing you need to go back on Welbutrin!

I had to start taking it after I went into a deep dark hole and had all the symptoms you are expressing.
In the space of three months, my beloved Dad, who was also my best adult friend, died at the hands of an incompetent heart surgeon. The next month I lost my girlfriend to ovarian cancer.
The third month I had to put my beautiful Golden Retriever to sleep.
I was totally lost and adrift.

I could barely function at that point, but Welbutrin worked great for me. I'm sure you know that it's something like a mood elevator, per my Doc, you don't wake up the next day feeling all perky, but sometime in the next week you realize you made it through the day relatively peacefully.

Since then, I have used it on an "as needed" basis a few times. So glad that I was introduced to it by my doctor, it has saved me, and I learned in therapy the expression "Anxiety is the Mother of Depression" and it's so true.

So when you feel that wave coming, it IS coming, and the best thing to do is just start heading it off as soon as possible.

Best of luck to you!!!
