Re: Wellbutrin

Wellbutrin seems to be Kaiser’s first drug of choice. It took me 2 weeks before I noticed any change in my thought or behavior patterns and it was a really frustrating period to keep taking a medication that didn’t seem to do anything. I have yet to hear of any ADHD person achieving any amount of therapudic relief, other than “slowly down”. Unfortunately, for me, the slowly down also reduced my motivation, my enthusiasim, my creativity and all of my passion. Made me totally “beige”. I wasn’t happy anymore, I wasn’t anything anymore. I wasn’t depressed before starting Wellbutrin, but developed symptoms of depression. When I titrated off the medication, 4 weeks after being completely off, was one of the worst periods in my life. It took about a week to recover.

I started taking Adderall about 3 months ago. Once my ideal level of dosage was found: Ah-ha!!! moments, clarity, increased producitivity, patience, RELIEF. I was so pissed off at my doctor because I had phenomenal results within 4 or 5 days of starting Adderall, but when through a horrible 2 months of a drug that did nothing.
