Does Wellbutrin increase anxiety?

Yes, Wellbutrin (bupropion) can sometimes increase anxiety due to its stimulating properties. However, this is not always the case, and the medication is generally well tolerated when started at a low dose and gradually increased if needed. The decision to prescribe a medication is typically based on the patient's symptoms, the clinician's experience, and in consultation with the patient. It is important to discuss any concerns with your doctor before starting the treatment.
