Can Anxiety Cause Depression?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Portland, ME

I'm on bupropion which is the generic for wellbutrn, which I take that for my depression and one of the possible side effects of the drug is anxiety. If that is the case it's a bit of a catch 22. You take a med to control your depression which causes anxiety which in turn caused depression.

After a while of being on meds they no longer are effective because your body became immuned to them...

Darlene I'm not sure, I've been on so many meds. And due to a series of events in my life my records are incomplete. I believe. Plus agencies destroy them after so many years.
