In reply to New diagnosis added - ADD, questions, posted by rainbowlight on May 25, 2002, at 2:56:40
I'm pretty sure you've read this from me before, but if not: wellbutrin caused bad anxiety/agitation for me although I am clearly ADD. Ritalin and adderall are great, make me feel calm and collected. So don't think if you respond poorly to Wellbutrin that the diagnosis needs questioning. Meds are so individual as I know you know.... deprenyl and clonidine etc are used sometimes too.
Dr. Sogn over on the webmd board specializes in ADD and one can ask him individual medication questions... pretty cool. He says when he sees wellbutrin work for ADD it takes the very high end dose, 300 or 450, and works after something like 8 weeks. (can't recall the exact time he said, just recall it was much longer than I would have guessed).
Good luck.
