Wellbutrin (bupropion) is used: To treat depression. It is excellent for atypical depression. I have seen it used for adhd - but usually when more typical adhd medication were not an option. (off label).

Accepted Answer

: There are no precautions or interactions listed when these 2 meds are taken together. Buspirone is an antianxiety medication. I'm unsure whether it helps sexual dysfunction not caused by anxiety. Your prescribing MD may be better to advise you about this matter.

Question 4

2-3 weeks: Wellbutrin (bupropion) does not provide a robust response like stimulants but can help. A blood absorption level us usually occurs after 2-3 weeks.

Bupropion antidepres: Bupropion is an anti depressant  drug  and can help you for depression for any length of time .But it does not help for A.D.H.D.So you will not notice any improvement,and you have to take another medicine for A.D.H.D.

Question 7

does wellbutrin (bupropion) work very well for adhd and depression?

Wellbutrin (bupropion) is : Excellent for atypical depression/ seasonal affective disorder.  Would not use it first line for  adhd. However, it can be used off-label for that purpose.

Question 8

bupropion xl 150mg. was told this will treat depression and helps with anxiety and adhd is this true ? also how long will it take to start feeling better ?

Accepted Answer

: Who told you that? The placebo effect would be the only help that an anti inflammatory drug will achieve.  Can I be completely blunt, because there is no one else around, you probably grew up in a disrupted family and have a hard time disciplining yourself and controlling your appetites. You live in the USA, are blessed, with no need for depression try reading the good book, a little every day.

Accepted Answer

Anxiety/ADHD: Bupropion is NOT a medication for ADHD
It can have many side effects.
At age of 20, you possibly are going through stresses of relationships, separation, break ups, work and finances causing anxiety.
Symptoms of Anxiety may be same like ADHD
Please see a Psychiatrist for:
•Diagnosis of Anxiety or ADHD 
•Therapy for stresses in your life
•Medications- benefits and side effects
•Breathing Relaxation

Accepted Answer

ASK YOUR MD: Before you do that speak with with your doctor. That may have been too big of an increase and could perhaps increase more slowly
