Dosage?: Need more info you may not be on an adequate dose. If you are under -dosed Wellbutrin may cause anxiety . See your Primary or whom ever prescribes WB for you and see if you need to have a dose increase. 100mg to 150mg every 8 hrs is max . Usually started at 100mg a day for a week and then increased every 5 to 7 days. There is an SR preparation too better tolerated
