Anyone taking SSRI and Bupropion at the same time for ADHD? Diagnosed as high functioning ADHD with anxiety. Curious to see how this combo has worked for you. Day 3 on it and not sure if I’m feeling a bit of placebo or if it’s actually helping my focus.

I’ve been taking bupropion since June for depression and Adderall since July for adhd. I’m not taking anything for anxiety at the moment. Both medication have had a huge affect on my daily life and I definitely noticed a difference when I wasn’t able to take them for a couple days while sick.

This is not a question someone else can answer in a relevant manner. Your chemistry is different than everyone else’s, hour regimin will be different than anyone else’s. In general, most psychological medicines are only barely more effective than the placebo, so the likelihood that anay given drug or combo is effective is low. Trust your doctor- and if you don’t then get a new doctor. And ask your doctor questions.

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
