I was told to take venlafaxine for my anxiety - made me extremely exhausted daily and gave me the worst nightmares. I was then given Wellbutrin on top of the venlafaxine and that changed everything for the better. I still feel venlafaxine isn't necessary and does more harm than good, for most it seems. I would like to be able to be on Wellbutrin alone since I feel it was the superior drug for my depression and did aid my anxiety as well. I'm also on hydroxyzine for panic attacks or when I struggle to sleep. I hope this helped 🌹

I'm honestly not sure about the "XL" portion of that, but yes it is bupropion (nothing added) is wellbutrin. Maybe the combination will help, otherwise I would most definitely try to do more research along with speaking to your psychiatrist about better options. It's not easy having to go back and forth between meds, so just know you're not alone in this journey.
