I'm not officially diagnosed as ADHD. My family doctor wants me to try Wellbutrin to see it it helps with the ADD like issues I experience. I've been diagnosed as borderline depressed and have had sleep issues. Currently taking seroquil for sleep.

If I want to try something else (e.g. concerta or adderal, etc), doctor says I need to get an official diagnosis.

I've gotta say... reading this forum, I'm a little hesitant to go on the Wellbutrin. Anxiety? I got plenty of that without getting more from medication. Tiredness? I need a kick not a downer. Also, on occasion, (once a week at most, sometimes less often) I'll grab a beer or glass of wine.

I'll keep reading this thread to read some happy stories to see if that motivates me to go on the Wellbutrin.

I didn't get more anxious or tired on Wellbutrin. Actually, it gave me fewer side effects than all but one other psych med I've tried (Lamictal).

It's worth a shot. Tends to start being effective a little faster than most other antidepressants and doesn't have the terrible withdrawal symptoms if you decide to stop taking it.

Wellbutrin is a pretty darn good med, IMO.

From what I've read, Wellbutrin is kind of hit or miss, but it's not necessarily bad. I've been on it since Friday... so not too long, and not long enough to feel any real effects yet, but I haven't had any real side effects besides some constipation... :o

Thanks for all the feedback and information.

Started the medication today - 1 x 150mg/day generic (budeprion?) for the rest of the week. Then 1 x 150mg every 12 hours.

I'll report back in a few days with a progress report.

Today is day 6 on budeprion. Last night, started the 150mg 1 x 12hours dosage.

Today, I feel good, a little more focused.

Of the past few days, I've noticed
- Dry mouth
- A little more difficulty sleep.
- BIG TIME ANXIETY. I'm hanging in there on this one.
