I have seen my family doctor and she is referring me to a psychiatrist. I have no idea of how long it will take, and I have yet to hear when the appointment has been made. In the last little while I have been really depressed and my doctor put me on Wellbutrin, 300mg in the morning and 150mg at night.

I have already noticed I feel much better and more energetic. However, it seems to have made the issues with my brain farts much worse. My brain seems to work much more quickly, but it can't seem to read and filter what is going through it. Now I have more motivation, BUT now that I seem faster, my brain can't seem to keep up with everything. Mind you this has always been an issue, but now I keep having "blips" and random thoughts overwhelming me.

I wish I could find a better description as to what I am going through here. It is hard to put it into words, and I don't think there really are any. You would have to be in my head to get the jest of it I suppose. I don't have static or voices, but I do have interruptions of sorts...

Will this subside with time? I know I need to give the meds a chance to work into my system for the time being, but I feel pretty ditsy, more so then usual, but energetic and in a good mood.

I hope someone can some how relate to my question and have some sort of answer...

Its good that it is helping with your depression it does help some people with the adhd too but it takes a while to realise that effect. You may find it is not the best med for you I believe your physician wants to let the psydoc diagnose you before trying stimulant meds which is certainly understandable..
good luck and welcome to the forums

Thank you for the reply. My doctor put me on Celexa and I stopped taking it. Within two days, I had the worst sexual side effects and I felt like I was sleep walking. I actually requested the Wellbutrin. I read it has very little side effects and weight gain does not usually happen. I have put on a few pounds in my funk, and don't need anymore grief. I am nuts about my weight as it is.

I also picked the Wellbutrin since I did read that it helps with ADD as well. I figured it was the least of all evils.

450 is the maximum dose per FDA. Is that where your doc started you? It may be that your starting dose is too high. Call your doctor's office and ask if you can back off a little. If you're taking 300 mg XL, maybe you can eliminate the afternoon dose. If it's SR, maybe you can take 150 in the morning and 150 in the afternoon?

DD has been on Wellbutrin in the past and moved up (titrated) from 150 mg XL am to 300 mg XL am. We are trying it again. Her pdoc started her on 100 mg SR for a couple weeks, then moved up to 150 mg XL am for a month. She goes back next week and will probably be scooched up to 300 mg. (She's also prescribed 40 mg Adderall XR am plus 10 mg Adderall IR in the afternoon as a booster and has been on that Rx for over a year.)
