I don't remember this happening last time.

Has anyone else had this experience where bupropion caused anxiety but adderall and ritalin cause calming? (BTW: adderall and ritalin have a calming effect as long as I stay at 15 to 20 mg in the day. After that, I don't seem to benefit from it that much. Less is more.)
Forgot to address your OP. I take bupropion as well, the generic. My psychiatrist said it should help a little with my anxiety. I'm taking it because my focus & concentration had gone to hell because of my anxiety. I think in general it helps, but to be honest, I've been on it so long that I don't really remember anymore what it felt like to not be on it. My memory has been getting worse & worse, & sometimes I wonder if it's because of the bupropion.
