Has anyone used Wellbutrin for adult ADHD? How has it worked (or not worked)? Any input will be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Cindy

Yes! I was on 200 mg a day of Wellbutrin and it worked wonders. I have a close friend who was recently switched from Ritalin to Wellbutrin because of concerns about blood pressure and he, too, feels as though it's working better for him.

Yes, I take it. I was on 300 mg Wellbutrin for ADHD and saw some symptom relief and improved functioning. My doc felt I could do even better, so added Vyvanse to that, and I decreased the Wellbutrin to 150 mg. Doing fine on that combination.

I took Wellbutrin once to stop smoking. It did work. I had never thought of it for ADD. I will discuss it with my doctor.
