" I was put on it for the ADHD. I will never forget the reaction. I don't care to remember it though(neither dose my freind). All I'm going to say is that it was bad. Dose it at least help the depression for you? "

" I am also on Wellbutrin for depression only not for my ADD, I take Adderall, which is helping me. Although I am sick and tired of having ADD, I feel very lost at times, it is so frustrating "

" I assume it helps me. I mean when I can remember to take it.

I was just wondering since it doesnt help for add, if they will want me to stop it, or I can take other medications with it. "

" I take wellbutrin for depression too and was recently diagnosed with ADD. It obviously wasn't helping with that. "

" I'm taking wellbutrin and adderall. I have anxiety, depression and ADD. I find the combination of these 2 drugs help me a little. I am so sensitive to meds, that I have to keep the doses down. That means I have to work on my ADD in other ways. I am really sick and tired of having this as well. I wish I could wake up one morning and it would be gone! "
