What Causes Excessive Sleep And Anxiety While On Wellbutrin?

I started taking Welbutrin for depression last Tuesday and I am experiencing problems sleeping, anxiety, and my mind seems like it's going like a freight train. I am overwhelmed by everything, worrying about everything and I would just like to know if it could be caused this soon by the Welbutrin.

Hi sir/ madam,
Welcome to health care magic,

I can certainly understand your concern towards your anxiety symptoms, yes there is some data that bupropion (wellbutrin) may cause some anxiety, so there is a possibility that your anxiety could be due to that, it takes some days to get asjusted to these effects , you can start on clonazepam along with this which helps in decreasing your anxiety and regulating your sleep, hope this information would help you,
please post your further questions if any, I will always be available to take up follow up questions
thank you.
