I was just diagnosed (at the age of 38) with ADHD. Ive always known I had ADHD but never went to see a psych because I never wanted meds.
I finally decided I just can't do it alone anymore. My psych prescribed 200mg of Wellbutrin. My question is, I don't think she told me how to take it- both pills together in the morning or once during the day and one at night. The pharmacist said the latter but does this make sense? I was thinking I should take both 100mg pills together? Thoughts? |

I take 300mg in the morning as it is a stimulant and gives you some energy too. I take it for depression though - are you taking it for ADHD?

I take 200mg of Bupropion (Wellbutrin). I take it as soon as I get up in the morning.

I think you should call your pdoc and ask. My daughter use to take one 75mg in the am and one 75mg in the pm. Now she takes one in the am 150mg. Just my opinion. The instructions should been on the prescription bottle.

As it's a stimulant, can it not make the ADHD symptoms worse?
