Can wellbutrin (bupropion) be an alternative to strattera? strattera helped with anxiety, but caused bad headaches and insomnia. would wellbutrin (bupropion) be better?

Can be used: Strattera is an adhd medication (not for anxiety). Wellbutrin (bupropion) is sometimes used for the off label treatment of adhd although it is not a first line choice. I have seen a number of people use is successfully for adhd. I can't tell you if it will be a better choice for you. Discuss with your physician as it might be worth a trial.

Possibly: Strattera is an antidepressant that has a tendency to cause headaches, as one of the most common reasons for discontinuing it. Wellbutrin (bupropion) is an antidepressant/anti anxiety medication which is usually well tolerated and could be a reasonable alternative to strattera. You should speak to your prescriber about a change.
