Wellbutrin has been known to increase anxiety and agitation in people taking it, especially if they already tend to be anxious. I was on Wellbutrin and Abilify and did not notice any significant anxiety; once I came off the Abilify I was on the wellbutrin I was intensely anxious. I ended up stopping the Wellbutrin as well. A tip: if you plan on taking xanax long term you might want to consider Klonapin instead. Xanax is highly addictive and is not recommended for long-term use while Klonapin (which is very similar and in my opinion works just as well) is more suitable for long term use and less addictive.
