I have ADD inattentive type and a tad of depression. I tried adderall and concerta. They both made me feel like a zombie, more or less. i waited a couple of months and began wellbrutrin. it boosted my energy and as an anti-depressant, it worked well. it did not improve my concentration at all, but i had more energy for physical activity and getting chores done .After about 6 weeks I started feeling a bit more anxious, impatient, more rushed in my daily life and decreased daily dose from 200 mg SR to 100 mg SR . I felt a bit better, but still a bit speedy and ungrounded. i decided i did not like these effects and have been off the wellbrutrin for about a month.
my psychiatrist had recommended adding strattera to the wellbrutrin to see if it would improve concentration. i did not want to introduce another med, and shortly afterward started having the side effects with wellbrutrin. i have not tried strattera on its own. i am about ready give up on meds.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
