Brief Answer:
It will go away

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks again for chosing health care magic.

As communicated earlier anxiety is just time limited side effect and likely to decrease with progress of time. I do not think there are any valid reasons for fearing anyform of permanent side effects with wellbutrin.

I hope this reassure you further.
Thanks and regards.

one final question does using SSRI have a long term effect or damage on the brain ?

Brief Answer:
No, they don't

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back,

Fortunately, there is no evidence to suggest long-term damage to the brain due to use of SSRI. They are largely safe and any side effect occurring with them gets reversal within few weeks of discontinuation.

I hope this answers your query further.

Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

I strongly believe that with required time there will be good improvement in your depressive symptoms. The available data clearly indicate that SSRI with wellbutrin is one of the best option in regard to depression and there is decreased risk of side effects as few of the adverse effects of each medication is controlled by another medication.

Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

I am glad to inform you that inner restlessness or internal tremors are side effect of bupropion and there is nothing to worry about it. There is good possibility that over the progress of time the condition will be normal and there will be little deflections in your health.

I hope this reassures you further.
