It depends greatly on your situation. From collected experiences that you can see in the discussion feature of this question, most people seem pleased with the way it eases the ADHD symptoms. There are side effects though, and a few people have had some increase in edginess or anxiety (and far fewer have experienced agitation).

The best way for you to know is to talk with your doctor, and if this treatment is ok for your situation, give it a try and you will know.

I am a 46 year old mom of 4 and have been unable to focus on one thing but instead feel bombarded by everything. This caused me to waste a lot of time during the day just looking around trying to figure out where to start and what I should be doing.

I have only been taking Wellbutrin XL 150 for 5 or 6 days and I suddenly began to start doing things I had just walked by before. It's like I don't have chains on my brain anymore. I don't feel anxious when I look at a large mess that needs to be handled. It used to give me a panicked feeling because I didn't know how to handle it because all I saw was the big picture and unable to separate it into parts.

I am noticing things and cleaning out cabinets and such without really planning to. Just seeing that it needs to be done and doing it. This is a pleasant surprise as I just wanted something to take the anxious feeling away.

Hope this helps.

I am not an expert on wellburitin. but from what i do know about adult adhd, if that's what you have. i started with adderal, 30mg twice daily. i just wanted to stay awake. but after about 1 month , the initial affect, at least with me, wears off. and it caused dextermental effects for me. it did'NT work any more. I'm also 47 years old. if it does have an amphetamine in it , please stay away...Belive me....

Wellbutrin, That I know of, DOES NOT help ADD/ADHD. I have ADHD myself and Take Focalin myself as well as Wellbutrin/Bupropin for deprssion.

Check out that link I sent in or go to Ask.com and type in your question there. They will help you out too.

If you're still not sure, Contact a local Pharmacist/Pharmacy before trying it out. They can give you doctors you should contact as well.

Wellbutrin is frequently used in the treatment of ADHD and in my experience working in the mental health field, is typically one of the first medications prescribed for ADHD (Strattera is typically tried first) if someone has a history of addictions.

Wellbutrin is sometimes prescribed off-label for use in ADHD. Since it has stimulant properties and raises the heart rate, it shouldn't be used with other stimulants unless under the advice of a doctor.

SSRI's are used to treat depression; there has been no clinical data to indicate they are useful for treating ADHD. However, in some cases they are prescribed to a person with ADHD who suffers from depression.

Bupropion (brand name Wellbutrin) is commonly used to treat depression and used for smoking cessation. Bupropion is used by some doctors to treat ADHD, and there is some evidence to support that it is effective for the treatment for ADHD. It is likely due to the fact that it works as a norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor, but because of inhibiting as opposed to releasing bupropion is less likely to be abused and is not a scheduled substance.

In summary, bupropion has been shown to be effective in treating adult ADHD and mixed results in other studies. You should work with your doctor to find the most effective medication for you, which may or may not be bupropion.

No; Wellbutrin (bupropion) is not approved for treating ADHD in children or adults. This is an off-label use and not recommended.

Wellbutrin works as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, working in a similar way to stimulants, increasing dopamine within the brain. Some studies have shown bupropion to improve ADHD symptoms, but there has never been large scale studies to show efficacy and safety in children.

Wellbutrin has been found to be useful in treating adult ADHD; however, whether it is a good treatment for a particular individual has to be determined by your doctor. There are many options available and many factors that determine which is best for each individual.
