Yes, it has been very helpful to me. At first I took it on its own, and it helped somewhat. Then Vyvanse was added and I did even better. My PNP did say I might be able to get by just on the Vyvanse, so I tried that once for a few months, but I found my ADHD symptoms are much better controlled with low level Wellbutrin plus the Vyvanse stimulant. I only take 100 mg Wellbutrin, which is hardly anything, but that little bit adds something that really helps with the ADHD. The Vyvanse helps too. Good combo for me.

When I first started taking the Wellbutrin a few years ago, it was extremely activating for me. Made me very jittery for the first few days and then again each time I had a dose increase. Once we had settled on the right dose and I had been on it a while, I settled down and wasn't all jittery. I hope you are doing better on the Wellbutrin now.
