ADHD + WELLBUTRIN (Buproprion): My Experience - Week 1

With the help of my health care team I was finally able to get on a medication to help alleviate some of the issues I’ve been struggling with due to my ADHD.

How has your journey with Wellbutrin gone?

Thanks for the video. I'm on day 4 of Wellbutrin for ADHD, feeling similar effects of anxiety & loss of hunger you described. I'm looking forward to getting through the first week.

Hey there, thanks for watching! I have been overwhelmed with life with a lot going on, and haven't done any updates in a WHILE. I do plan to do one here at the end of the month. Don't get discouraged. I think the first 1.5 weeks was the most difficult, and then each time I increased the dosage I experienced some of the side effects again. The hunger situation will get better, and the anxiety will subside as well. I have used a fitness watch for years, and my resting heart rate has always been around 54, and over the first 3 weeks or so it increased gradually all the way up to 68 or so, so in general I just felt more anxiety, as my heart was not used to running so fast while just resting.

What dose are you taking? I feel 150mg XL is not helping
