How much time will it take for my wellbutrin (bupropion) to counteract my adhd?

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.

2 weeks: From the start of taking Wellbutrin, (bupropion) expect at least 2 weeks before it becomes effective. If you have been started on a low dose, it may take more time before effects are felt. Give at least 2 weeks at any dose before expecting results.
