Something to discuss with your psychiatrist -- wellbutrin is a stimulating antidepressant, not usually used for primary anxiety. Celexa would be a better choice for primary anxiety. Because it's stimulating wellbutrin would seem an odd choice for an anxiety sufferer with a heart rate problem to this non-expert.
Thank you for the response! I have read the same about wellbutrin but honestly when I started it I had so much motivation and it didn't mess with my heart. I didn't have any episodes for a while after taking it. And I was still drinking coffee, which I no longer can. :( but what I liked most is that it took away my desire to eat, and I've lost almost 30 lbs since taking it. I have about 10 more lbs and I'm back at my pre-baby weight FINALLY. The metoprolol on the other hand has made me tired and I have no motivation. I really am missing my morning coffee. So maybe I should add the celexa and see if it helps. I'm glad I'm actually seeing a cardiologist now but now I'm more afraid that it WAS my heart that caused the anxiety. Also I haven't seen a psychiatrist. Just two different doctors who disagree a little and now a cardiologist thanks to finally getting a referral when one doctor refused to. Maybe the cardio will advise me on the issue. I'm sure it will all depend on the holter and stress echo results anyway. But thanks for listening and suggesting the celexa. I've just been so scared to see how it reacts with metoprolol and I've read about some crazy side effects. I'm home alone with a 3 year old so I can't be having any craziness or bad reactions going on.
