Day 5 of Wellbutrin for ADHD. Already seem to wake up easier and been able to focus a bit more. Really hope to keep seeing improvement and this isn’t a placebo affect so far!

You lucky SOB's. Wellbutrin just turned me into a constipated insomniac.

Yeah, bupropion is anticholinergic, meaning it blocks acetylcholine which is responsible for many things. Dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, bowel obstruction, dilated pupils, blurred vision, increased heart rate, and decreased sweating - all of these are effects of anticholinergic drugs.

Nope. Once I added this to my regimen it totally changed the game. It turns out this was add-on I needed. 🙌

30 mg Non-XR Adderall 1x daily, And zoloft. the wellbutrin was an added after trying a other things with my Zoloft dosage that didn’t fit well.

Similar experience here, Wellbutrin was key to improve the effect of my ADHD meds.

Following. No sleepy side effects?
My adderall hasn't been as effective lately.

Is depression diagnosis required for Wellbutrin?

None get.

This is described off label for adhd. No diagnoses for depression required.

Not required. You can tell simply request it with your doctor. I did my research and actually was the one that suggested it with my psychiatrist after he tried a few alternative meds that I hated.

Wellbutrin was absolutely wrong for me - as some with anxiety issues and ADHD, it only exacerbated my anxiety. I found that adderall is better for my ADHD and I occasionally take anti anxiety medication for rough nights.

For those looking to get updates- 3.5 weeks into Wellbutrin. overall mood has improved on Wellbutrin and minor improvements in focus. Still jumping around all over the place and harder to focus if I don’t have a set deadline.

Doc has prescribed adderall XR. She said start with 5 mg in morning and bump to 10 if not seeing improvement. Looking to give it a try.

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️

Anyone really struggle with lectures? I find it challenging to do online trainings when I have to listen to an hour of a recording of someone talking over a PPT.

I always end up 2x speed, which helps, but even then I manage to get distracted. I find it way more efficient to read materials on my own.

If anyone has strategies to make things like this more bearable I’m all ears! 🙏🏼

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.
