I am new to this site and just getting around it. I just want to be able to function at times. The anxiety at times takes over my life. I had a bad anxiety attact last week when a bad memory came back to me. I am on Welbutrin XL 150 daily and xanax .50 t2 times daily as needed. I am able to funtion with that combonation. Is that ok? I am going to see the pycolagist on the 24th of this month and I would like to stay with it but bo they do that? Well any thoughts would be great. Thanks.

Dear Bambo --

From my experience your doctor probably will not be altering your medication if you have just gotten on it and it is helping you. Sometimes it takes more than one medication to get you in balance. As my psych doctor had explained....it is just like having more than one physical ailment: i.e. if you have an ulcer - you take ulcer medication and if you also have an infection, you take an antibiotic. You should be honest w/your doctor...tell her/him how you feel better (on the medication) and would like to stay with it. From an outside point of view, I think you may be worrying needlessly....a good doctor wants to see you recover and will work with you toward this goal.

Hope this helps!
