question: I have an anxiety disorder that I take xanax (generic) for. The last ten months I have had a terrible feeling of dread and severe anxiety that last for 10 to 12 hours consistently. It has now started to include irratation and crying. I had a hysterectomy when I was 39 and I am now 53..I still have 1 ovary. I also have depression that I am taking Wellbutrin (generic) for and this terrible dread started around the same time I started taking Wellbutrin. My best friend said it happened to her and her doctor just upped the dosage to 450 instead of 300 and the anxiety and iratation went away. Can you help me?
