How much Wellbutrin are you on? Maybe you are on two low a dose for it to have any effect on you.
When you see the pdoc, impress upon him the amount of anxiety you are having. Make sure he UNDERSTANDS it.
Anxiety is hard for someone to understand unless they have ever been through it.

I take wellbutrin but im not on a mood stablizer and I have badd mood swings, they've been getting progressively worse. I take 2 100mg tablets a day...I was on 3 but my half awake/pre-sleep/waking up 'hallucinations' were terrible on 3 so my pdoc cut me back to 2 a day. I haven't noticed my anxiety getting worse while on it but its not getting better, and i'm still getting mood swings.

when i see him thursday i'm going to give him a list of symptoms that are bothering me.
