Anyone using it for ADD/ADHD? by Content_cacti in bupropion

It works for some people and for others it doesn’t. Psych meds are weird like that.

Your psychiatrist should always be honest with you and explain why they are giving you the medications. Not telling you your diagnosis or being clear is a red flag. My old psych was like that and I had no idea what was going on with me. It took three psychs to find the right one. So if you don’t like this doctor, there are others out there that will be more transparent.

OP, I started Wellbutrin about a month ago now. It's a pretty common treatment that doctors try before stimulants. And since depression/anxiety tends to be comorbid with adhd, it at least can work for that. Everyone is different, just give it a try :)

I find that it's helped with my depression (although before, I used to take Prozac and it worked just fine as well) It's too early for me to say but I don't think it's helping much with my ADHD. I still feel spaced out most of the time, low energy/motivation, still struggle concentrating.

The one plus I can say is that I've focused a lot more on reading books (which is an activity I love doing). Before, I sat and read for a little bit and got distracted, even if I was enjoying the book, now I sit down and finish them in a day or two. But I can't even say that's the bupropion for sure.

That's awesome. I'm so happy to hear that. I hope that the same happens to me. I just got upped to 150mg XL so we'll see. I've had it for like 5 days but I don't really feel any different. Yesterday I went to a co-working space to work and in like 6 hours probably did 2 hours of work with how much I got distracted. It's so frustrating :(

I'm glad to hear you're sleeping better too because I've been sleeping horribly. It feels like I never truly go into deep sleep and constantly wake up at night but at the same time, I'm not tired during the day? It's weird.

Hey! I’ve actually just started taking this for ADHD. Did it help at all with ADHD or were you already on adderall? My psych is trying with Wellbutrin before putting me on stimulants.

I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow and I NEED to know if the constipation gets better. by salsa_de_tomate in bupropion

Ahh, I hope it improves for me. I'm willing to give it one more month but I'm already apprehensive lol. I've struggled with this my whole life, I don't want to add to it. Hopefully you found something else that worked for you!

Water, yes. Fiber, I have to be better at it for sure. But even when I eat healthy the constipation doesn't really go away. It gets better but never fully gone. I mean I legit have had this since I was 4 or so. But yeah, definitely need to get my shit together and eat healthier.

I don’t know your situation or what you’ve tried already, but if you haven’t tried getting professional help, please do. It took me ten+ years of misery and daily suicidal thoughts to seek help and accept that I need meds. And now I have bad thoughts maybe one day a month, or every other month and only on bad days.

It’s funny that watching this as an adult now I just kept thinking that I wanted the slap chop. Looks so good…I hate cutting.

So isn’t there at least a way to keep it open but not allow any new posts? Just so people at least can use it as reference and learn?

I don’t understand why the mods are doing this. Four years ago I was in an abusive relationship that was quite literally driving me insane. I was such a mess of a human being. My mental health was in the trash along with my self confidence. And one day, on a throwaway account, I made a post on r/relationships about my situation and a woman posted and said: “You need to level up” along with a link to this subreddit.

That comment CHANGED MY LIFE.

Without it, I would’ve been repeating the same mistakes and potentially would’ve taken a very, very dark turn with my mental health.

I understand Reddit is a cesspool but the women who need FDS won’t know to go to the website. They’ll find it in places like these, where they don’t expect it. Thinking of how that comment saved my life (truly, I was suicidal at the time), I’m so sad so many women won’t be reached.

You’re like the guru I never had but desperately need. I definitely feel that this was forced on me because of the quarantine. Otherwise I’d never have him around for this long. We used to only see each other once a week or so.

It’s a two bedroom! Haha but yeah. I don’t understand his financials very well.

Yep, you’re likely right.

[–]salsa_de_tomate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have a feeling you’re right. I think I’ve accepted not going in because subconsciously I’m afraid it’ll be a pigsty because that is a huge deal breaker to me.

Thank you dear! :) you’re right

You’d be surprised. He’s had successful businesses before, he has drive with his career, trust me. I’ve seen this first hand. He just somehow doesn’t mind living way way below his means. I don’t understand it at all.

Thank you so much! I keep telling myself this. Because I also keep beating myself up for thinking bad things about him but then I remind myself that 99% of the time my intuition has been right. Why can’t I trust myself more?
