Below is something I wrote in another thread about my brief trial with Wellbutrin. It took a little over three weeks to work. It may be true that it's more of a norepinephrine drug than dopamine. It did help me with motivation and concentration. If you wanted to make sure it was norepinephrine you were getting, maybe taking it with vit C would help. That makes sense to me because C turns dopamine into norepinephrine.
"I have add/inattentive. The first drug that seemed to work for me was Wellbutrin. Unfortunately, I broke out in hives just as it reached therapeutic levels. That was about three and a half weeks after starting. I was taking 150 mg. first thing in the morning and, again, at noon. For a day, I felt hope and excitement because it was helping me concentrate. I was working at the computer and about two hours had passed without me realizing it. I was teaching myself html, something I had meant to do for a while. I couldn't believe I had been working at it with full concentration. (…It's been so long since I have been able to do something like that. As I have gotten older, my problems with inattentiveness have worsened.) Wellbutrin is a drug I recommend that you try. It increases both seratonin and dopamine. "
