Misc Adderall and Bupropion

[normluser]

Hello All! this is my first post so give me cut me slack...

I have been prescribed Adderall for several years ( two 20mg IR per day). In addition to the adderall, I was just prescribed Bupropion HCL XL (150 MG) onto be taken once a day.

Can anyone give me guidance on how the Bupropion will increase or decrease the current affect the adderall has on my mental speed/focus ability?

Thank you!!!!!!

Hey, welcome to Bluelight @normluser!

Wellbutrin (bupropion) is actually sort of similar to adderall, in that it increases mental speed and focus ability, IME. It's mainly for depression, but off label can be used for mild ADHD. The two combined might be over kill, but in general, yeah, it would increase your ability to focus and your mental speed.

Be careful not to over do it because the two serve similar purposes.

That's true too; both can induce anxiety, more so the wellbutrin.

You may find the adderall slightly blunted by the bupropion (due to its mechanism of action); or conversely, enhanced. But the effect is so subjective and individual. I recommend making some notes about your experience and posting them here (y)

I am addicted to straight Buproprion, having experience with amphetamine including Adderall I have to say Buproprion is a lot like it. It is not a releaser though, so they might hinder one another
