I am taking it for depression. I have been taking it for about 3 months and am now on 450mg a day. I was on a very sedating AD before which I am still taking but at a lower dose - I have noticed I am not as exhausted all the time, and that it is easier to cope with a busy day or week without crashing too much. Still early days though I think. How are you finding it?

This is wellbutrin xl. It is an antidepressant. I've never heard of it being used for ADHD. It is known to be very activating which is another reason I'm surprised it's being used for ADHD.

I just started taking today and felt a little tired.

I was just put on Wellbutrin XL (300 mg). It's for the sexual side effects that Celexa brings on. It is working for me in that area.
When I was first put on the Wellbutrin SR I got more energentic then I switched over to the XL. With the XL I'm feeling tired but it could be the switch over, I hope. I want that energy back.

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is prescribed for depression but it's also prescribed for weight loss, (Zyban) to help you quit smoking, ADD/ADHD, MS, Lupus, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, IBS and Chronic Fatigue

I started taking this for depression in November. And it does help. I did notice that I do have more clarity and can focus on things better too. At first it was a pretty significate difference but that didn't last long. My doctor upped the dosage to 300mg daily. It helped a little bit. My thoughts don't seem as chaotic. But it doesn't keep me on track for the entire day.
