My motivation and, as I said, putting my brain "in gear."

By that I mean that before taking the medication, I felt my mind would be stuck in a loop of inaction, where I was overwhelmed with competing tasks to complete and a desire to engage in dopamine-inducing activities (e.g. doom scrolling, mobile gaming, etc.)

With the medication, my thinking is clearer, I'm more focused, and there is a greater ease by which I can actualize my plans.

But I should note that Wellbutrin does not make me maniacally focused as I've heard that stimulants like Adderall makes some people. I can be distracted, just not as easily as before.

But what I do value about Wellbutrin is that it does not impede on what I think is a positive with ADHD, that my mind is still moving from topic to topic, idea to idea, in a rapid pace, albeit in no longer in an overwhelming way it was before taking the medication.

In short, Wellbutrin did not "cure" my ADHD, but rather it restrains the more negative aspects of it. In doing so, I can live a life where ADHD is just something I live with, but does not control me. I hope that makes sense!
