@pharmacisttherapist: Wellbutrin (bupropion) Isn’t Approved for ADHD So Why Do We Use It? The Weird History of Wellbutrin for ADHD #pharmacist #pharmacy #thepharmacisttherapist #adhd #pharmacytok
I’m on Wellbutrin for ADHD and depression. I really like it. I first started Wellbutrin to get off of being on SSRIs for decades. Then I was diagnosed with ADHD at 48. My psychiatrist upped my Wellbutrin from 150 to 300.

wellbutrin made me want to unalive myself. nearly did. would have, had my new doctor not listened to me and immediately removed it from my treatment plan. I so strongly caution anyone from trying. coming off it was hell. would rather come off narcotics

I have adhd but also a cooccurring anxiety disorder. Wellbutrin is a no go if you have both and the anxiety isn’t caused by adhd alone. Wellbutrin made me have like adrenaline attacks 24/7 and I couldn’t sit still. Made anxiety 10x worse.

I take them both! The Wellbutrin alone wasn’t enough for ADHD. However, after several other antidepressants, it was the best for my depression. I’ve taken 450 mg Wellbutrin XL & 60 mg of Adderall for over 20 years now.

My doctor said my BP was too high to be on Addy. So he gave me Wellbutrin. I actually had an idea of my own demise for the first time in my life after 6 months of the meds. I quit it asap and never felt like that again. I prefer the addy and no meds 😂 pro life not my own demise

Has there been any research into using both a stimulant and Wellbutrin simultaneously?

Bupropion has been the best thing for me. Not perfect though. I tried Vyvanse and it made my BP and heart rate go up. It worked but I’m not risking my heart health.

I just started it about 10 days ago! It’s genuinely is helping me stop vaping, and suppressing my appetite a little already. Although, I’m a little hyper fixated over things that would usually give me a little anxiety… and I’ve kind of been zoning out for a few seconds every now and then, but I kind of think it’s just when I’m in boring situations. Is that normal?
