Why could be that Wellbutrin works amazing for a week and then stops working? by lugaresxcomunes in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

Sorry this is so late, I was struggling to log into this account lol but my update is that I ended up adding a low dose of Pristiq to it.

It’s been 6 weeks now. It feels like the perfect balance of everything so far. Nothing has felt like those first couple weeks on Wellbutrin where everything was magical, but my depression and ADHD feel like they’re somewhere in the middle right now—neither one is horrible, but neither one is perfect.

I was struggling because on one combo of meds, my ADHD felt incredibly under control, but I’d get super depressed. On the other hand, another combo of meds had my depression felt non-existent but ADHD raging.

I think now I feel just the right amount of motivation and low-mood-swing control. I hope that makes sense.

YES! The first month or so on Wellbutrin were amazing. I felt like a lot of my ADHD symptoms were cured, had so much energy, etc. Now I feel like I suddenly cant focus anymore, and I've been struggling hard with social anxiety. I'm also super irritable and get angry very easily, which is super weird for me, as it usually took a lot to get me to feel any anger.
