Wellbutrin is frequently prescribed off label for ADHD. It was the first drug that my PNP tried me on for ADHD symptoms. I definitely noticed an improvement but my PNP thought we could do better at controlling symptoms, so after a while, she added Vyvanse to that, and later cut the Wellbutrin dose in half. So on this combo, I am doing quite well.

Caramel, Wellbutrin can increase anxiety so beware, since you have GAD. As my PNP said, there is no one med that is going to be perfect so sometimes it is worth it to take a med like Wellbutrin that helps with one issue (ADHD) but may exacerbate another (anxiety). It doesn't have this effect on everyone, though. Good luck.
