Brief Answer:
The dose of Bupropion can be increased.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
No, candida could not worsen the anxiety so no need to worry about that. You are on 20 mg of Cipralex and this is a proper dose and there is no need to increase this dose. But the dose of Wellbutrin can be increased to 300 mg per day. At this dose, you will definitely see improvement in anxiety symptoms.
You can discuss with your doctor for this. You can use SOS Clonazepam for the relief of anxiety exacerbation.
Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if you need more help.
Thank you.
