exfarmer, my PNP told me it can be difficult to tease out the symptoms of ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as there is some overlap and they are often present together. I have ADHD symptoms and my PNP started me on Wellbutrin. It helped right away, then the effect declined, and we increased dose, the same thing again. I am taking 300 mg a day. I don't necessarily think it has helped tremendously with my ADHD symptoms, but it has helped make me feel more "up" and I didn't realize I was "down." Maybe feeling more "up" helps me get things done. I don't know. I don't know how you can tell anything with these drugs. I see my PNP again next week for the first time in 2 months. I'm not sure what to tell her. I don't really want to give up the Wellbutrin because it makes me feel better. But it hasn't really helped with the ADHD symptoms.
