Answers:
Wellbutrin has got to be one of the most unpredictable drugs being used in mental health therapy today.
You need to get off it in my opinion, but not all at once. Wean yourself back to the original dose and see if that gets results. If not, then go from 3 pills a day to 2, or 2 pills to 1.
If this gets you results and you start feeling good again, then maybe this "therapist" can switch you to something else.
Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. They might be "professionals", but they can made mistakes too. Too many drugs today trying to cure too many problems.
If things peter out with the lower dose, then it might be advisable to have some ativan on hand to handle these panic/anxiety attacks you're having.
Try praying to God too, it's a wonderful stress relief to have faith n your life when coping with pressures like you have.
God Bless and thanks for reading.

It is obvious that your Therapist did not have an answer for you, so he or she put you off. you need to change both of them before they completely ruin your health. The are obviously little more that pill pushers, who rely on drugs instead of finding causes.
