Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 <<I was on Wellbutrin for 4 weeks and had to get off because I broke out in hives. I am no longer on anything because after taking Wellbutrin I began to suffer from anxiety attacks. Has this happened to anyone and if so, has the anxiety attacks gone away? I figure I'm just going though withdrawals from stopping the Wellbutrin. I read somewhere that it takes about 2 weeks and so I'm hoping to return to my normal state, which was some mild depression, which I went in and out of and therefore can handle rather than taking these mind altering drugs with all these side affects.>> Hi , I made this into its own thread so people could see you started a new topic. Now I think you'll get some responses. This happens to a lot of people, and yes, the anxiety attacks do go away. It may take longer than two weeks, but if you treat your body with care, it will recover. Read Eating for Recovery and the Basic Healing Protocol (sent when you joined, also in the Files), and get started with diet and supplements that will support your body's efforts to heal. Following these things will also help you heal from your original depression. I'm sure some of our members will ahve more to add.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi , I think Kim pretty much summed it up, but in case you need more reassurance, yes, it's very typical to experience feelings of anxiety during withdrawal/recovery. Two weeks is a very optimistic amount of time......but it depends on your own situation and how your body reacts. Have a look at the group's files, in which you'll find various suggestions for dealing with anxiety. I'm glad you realized that the drugs were harming you. Hang in there - it will get easier.
