Wellbutrin and panic attacks

[425runner]

Dr. Forster -

I started on Wellbutrin two days ago for depression and feel great!  However, I'm also being treated for panic disorder and had 2 panic attacks today, despite taking my Klonopin 1 mg/day.  

My doc originally put me on Lexapro but it made me so sleepy, drowsy, and even more depressed so we switched to the more activating Wellbutrin,

What would ease the anxiety associated with the Wellbutrin XL 150 MG?  Maybe up the Klonopin to 2 gr?  or add another SSRI at night?

Thank you!!

Thanks so much for your reply, I wish you could be my doctor.  No panic attacks today so I guess it was just temporary.

This should be a temporary effect so adding an SSRI would not make sense because by the time it would be working the anxiety would be gone on its own. You could try briefly increasing the Klonopin.
