Wellbutrin made me feel agitated. I have anxiety and BPII and I got so agitated at times that i was almost violent. So, I guess I would have to say that it is activating. My daughter takes Wellbutrin for anxiety and she has no trouble with it.
Like with all meds, it all depends on the person taking it whether it will work or not. Of course it also depends on the PDOC who is doing the prescribing. Good luck on your journey to find a med that works for you.
