Doctor just prescribed Wellbutrin to add onto my adderall. Has anyone tried this combo? What effect did adding Wellbutrin have on you?

I was prescribed Wellbutrin and Concerta when I first started taking meds at the age of 13, it made my super super super tired but apparently that’s a weird side effect. I’m talking like I’d wake up and go turn on the shower and sleep on the floor of the bathroom and pretend to be showering just to get more sleep

I have tried this combo & I felt like I was way too medicated. Hard to describe… just foggy/robotic/medicated. I’m a healthy person, I didn’t need to feel like that, so got off the Wellbutrin & just kept the adderall.. which I also hope to eventually get off. But idk if you also have depression, it could be helpful for you, whereas for me, it was not
