My son has been bounced around from stimulant to stimulant for years. We finally decided on Methylphenidate (ritalin). He still exhibited a lot of the side effects like appetite suppression, tics GALORE, insomnia etc but it was helping with his school work. Then this whole health care crisis came into play and his insurance put a deductible on us for his prescriptions, and stimulants are expensive. I did a lot of research and saw Wellbutrin has been successful in treating ADHD. I pick up the script this afternoon but I’m nervous about stopping his stimulant, I’m sure there will be withdrawals and he also takes trileptal for a mood disorder should they be mixed? I’m waiting the doctors return call about this. In the meantime I am excited to read the positive everyone is having with it but nervous about the negatives as well. I hope this is the ticket so he can be as normal as possible.
