Wellbutrin (generic is called buproprion) also called Zyban in the US, is a noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor. It is used off-label for ADHD (the company did not do specific studies looking for an indication but research does support it’s use). It has few doses so that makes titration difficult. You can combine psychostimulants with buproprion but watch for CV issues.

Contraindicated for anyone with a prior seizure disorder.
