Will Generic Form Of Prozac With Wellbutrin Help In Anxiety And Nervousness?

I am on Wellbutrin 300MG. I still experience anxiety, nervousness and I get angry with people. MY doctor has now put me on the generic for Prozac 20mg to go along with it. Do you think this will help the anxiety, nervousness, and anger? Or is my Welbutrin dose just too high? Maybe I need an anxiety med with the Wellbutrin instead of another SSRI. What do you think?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Welbutrin and fluoxetine both act on anxiety in different ways and hence it is a nice way to augment each other. Only thing is that these medicines take time to help with and meanwhile the patient can be started on Clonazepam or propranolol to help her deal with anxiety symptomatically.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
