My friend swear by Trintelix, She had been on it for a decade and different dosages. Started by itself 5 mg then 10 mg. Then her doctor increased it to 20 mg and her doctor added welbutrin 150 mg. The combination worked very well for almost 1 year.
Tapering off of it and takes only 150 wellbutrin for 2 months.
She started getting worse and the doctor put her on 300 mg for another 4 months without any antipderesent.
All the problems started especially her ringing of the ear. 2 ear specialist prescribed some xnaax and felt much better but stopped 6 weeks.
She got worse,
She started feeling better with taking Trintelix 20 mg, buspar15 mg and wellbutrin 300 for a while.
She felt better for six weeks, but had to reduce Trintelix to 10 mg bc it makes her not be able to cry when she needs to!

Thanks for the answer.
Why doesn’t she try Zoloft or another SSRI along with Wellbutrin. They work very well in combination and at one point they had a nickname “welloft”. Buspar could also give her more relief and clonazepam could help with anxiety.
I know there are “haters” out there regarding any benzodiazepines and yes I know they are addictive. That being said if you never increase your dosage and use them responsibly they can have a positive effect especially for those suffering from acute anxiety.
Many claim withdrawal is very difficult and it is but so is withdrawal from things such as alcohol, nicotine and sugar among other things. Some say withdrawal from nicotine is worth that withdrawal from heroin.
I recently talked to a nurse who gave up smoking and started vaping. She said because of the amount of nicotine that is in vaping it has been harder to quit vaping than it was to quit smoking.
If you have severe anxiety don’t rule out responsible use of a benzo. Unlike opioids I have never heard of someone dying from taking a benzo. Just be responsible and don't increase your dosage.
Good luck to you.
