Wellbutrin

I have been taking Wellbutrin 150 XL for about 9 days and the anxiety has gotten a lot worse instead of better. Is it safe to just stop taking this medication without tapering since I have been on it such a short time?

Medications of any kind, if effective, at best only provide temporary easing of anxiety without actually treating the condition itself.
