I have been off and on Wellbutrin for several years.
I started on it again last spring for inattention. I started with 150 and it was in fact stimulating. However, it did not really make me feel better, and I was not any more focused.It has a great side effect profile.
I am actually still on it. I was on 300XL, but I am on 300 SR now because of some changes in my insurance. 300XL was very convenient.
I think Wellbutrin is more of a norepinephrine drug than a dopamine drug.
I was told by my doc that it is very much similar to strattera and that switching to it would not yield much of a difference.
I am just starting provigil right now.
You may have a curbed appetite for a little bit on wellbutrin. Many people have lost weight on it.
