I am currently taking, metadate cd, I have difficulties, remembering to take my med in the am. when I do remember to take it I guess it is helping, but how do I asses this? My Dr. suggested that I may need to try something that will stay in my system longer like wellbutrin. I was on welbutrin briefly in highschool I don't remember it being that helpful -I'm a little reluctant to take wellbutrin because I know that it lowers the seizure threshold. I do not have epilepsy, but I did have a seizure as a child when I was very ill. Any suggestions?

Wellbutrin has a short half-life but
I think secondary metabolites last
longer and there is SR XL version
that last longer. I took it myself it
did not help depression or ADHD.
