"suffer from anxiety and panic attacks since i was a young woman.  i&#039;ve been on many different meds.  have landed in the er six times in my life thinking i was having a heart attack as these mirror each other in symptoms.  have taken paxil for 15 years.  when i landed in the er again six weeks ago my paxil was raised to 60 mgs.  i saw  doc in a follow up and we decided to try wellbutrin...the generic.  i have been slowly going off paxil, as you must do, and starting the wellbutrin.  it is now fours weeks and i am up to 200 mgs of wellbutrin and down to 20 mgs of paxil.  one more week and i am done.  wellbutrin does have some side effects, i.e., dizziness, wausau, dry mouth..otherwise i have been doing pretty well.  time will tell."
