Is wulbutrin good for anxiety?

Not the best: Generally psychiatrists would not use wellbutrin (bupropion) for anxiety. It can be slightly activating (cause jitteriness) early on and there isn't good data saying that it works for anxiety (although one study found it worked for anxious depression).

Not so much: Wellbutrin (bupropion) is a fine antidepressant, but it's not so good at anxiety-relieving like ssri's and others are. In my experience it is more activating than other antidepressants -- could make some people a little jittery. On the other hand, it's less likely to induce weight gain than others too.

Wellbutrin (bupropion): Not likely, since it has activating effects.
