Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Stimulants: Quite common. One question- what is your caffiene intake? I don't give my high coffeee drinkers wellbutrin (bupropion) untill they taper down. You are taking a stimulating antidepressant and Concerta which is a stimulant. If sxs don't start improving over the next week, please discuss with the provider who prescribed them.
