Getting stressed, don't know if it's the new medicine or my life

I’m feeling over the top stressed and edgy.

My husband and I had a massive argument last night.

We’ve made up, but I’m still kind of pissed.

I’ve got two expensive trips lined up for July that I’m worried about.

One involves boarding our dogs, not happy about that.

Things are just kind of piling up on me and I’m starting to feel buried.

I can’t take more klonopin, for sure.

This wellbutrin has only been in my system about a week.

I’m not sure if that’s contributing to this feeling.

What do you think?

Yeah it’s hard to say…that situation would be very stressful to me.

Seems like this whole thing was just kind of sprung on you all at once and then with the bad argument also but it may be hard to tell if this is a natural reaction or if the medicine is contributing or what…

Do you handle stress well normally? Or is this really abnormal for you?

I can’t say I handle stress well,

But I’m usually not this panicky.

It’s probably both,

Adjusting to the medication and having a ton on my plate.

Wellbutrin can effect dopamine, giving rise to energy.

Try some meditation, listening to some music that you like; try to do something calm.

Welbutrin made me hypersensitive to sound and sensory overload.
I think it can give some people anxiety

Tried it for 8 months

what you all got going on would make me stressed too… i think you should take things easy a bit but that is easier said than done when you planning for those trips.
Boarding my pets would be hard for me too… i wouldn’t like to do that…

Welbutrin can cause anxiety and irritability.
It could very well be the meds @GoldenRex

When I was first put on Wellbutrin I felt an edge for a while, but it went away in time. It was alarming, but it never got worse than some mean anxiety. Now that I have gotten used to the drug I am glad I am on it.

LS! This morning my resting heart beat was 44 beats per minute. I am so happy with that. I had done 45 minutes of Vinyasa yoga and read some in a book. My advice is try to relax. Try yoga every day!
