Since being on the Bupropion (Welbutrin) I have noticed no increase in focus / attention in the past week. If anything it seems worse because of the extreme increase in sex drive that I have had since starting it. Normally I am not like that at all, I typically focus on all my own goals with my degree and work but since starting it about a week ago I have been completely different. I never considered myself a depressed person and my pdoc has never said that as being a possibility. I was prescribed the Bupropion for ADD. Major issues with focus and attention span on even subjects that I am really interested in. Since there has been such a large increase in my sex drive this has been terrible in helping my ADD symptoms. I am unsure if I should call my pdoc ahead of my next appt which is in about a month or just wait it out being that this type of medication can take a long time to build up and start fully working?

Since starting the Bupropion about a week ago numerous people have told me that I seem more happy and smile a lot more than usual. I never felt unhappy prior just usually keep my emotions to myself I guess before starting the medication.

Is this normal to experience worsening ADD symptoms upon starting this and then become better as the medication builds up or is this a clear sign Bupropion is not going to help. Being that finals are less than a month away and I had a hard time with focus and attention before starting the medication I am slightly worried it is only going to get worse which will not make my university finals much fun at all.

Im going to start a new thread being that this seems as though it has gone past the scope of my original thread posting.
