Obviously these post are old. But I do have high BP but medication controls it to the point my heartrate steady at 60-61. My BP usually runs around 128/70 but if I get upset it will raise to about 140/70. My Doctor put me on Wellbrutin about a week ago since the Viibryid stopped working. However didn't tell me it tool 6-8 weeks for the Wellbrutin to 'kick in'....now I feel I am not covered and cry all the time. (OCD) I was taking Ritalin as well. Stopped working. I need something to get me going in the mornings and keep me going throughout the day. Otherwise I will go back to bed and stay there and cry. Want to take the Wellbrutin about 2 in the afternoon to help depression. What are your thoughts?
Wait, you had panic attacks and your doctor put you on Wellbutrin and adderall, both of which can cause anxiety???
thanks for ur share, do you take them together or wait say one he in between...?
To those reading this trying to understand if the combination of Wellbutrin and Adderall is dangerous, IT IS NOT. Both help treat ADD/ADHD symptoms. It is common for a doctor to prescribe both if you have anxiety and have symptoms off ADD. In my case, I had anxiety and depression because I had issues with focusing, retaining information,and carrying conversations with people (symptoms of ADD) and had no clue that ADD could be my issue. Started taking Wellbutrin, after 6 weeks I noticed I was focusing more, but still had issues following a conversation. Prescribed Adderall along with my Wellbutrin: immediate difference. I believe I read someone say earlier, "unimaginably amazing" combination for me. I am currently not stressed out, able to concentrate at the task at hand, and hold a conversation with someone AND respond back in an appropriate manner (idk if anyone else with AD D has had this issue, but that was a huge achievement for me). Even writing this post is not something I would be able to do previously; if I tried to write anything over two sentences, I would get distracted and not remember how to write what I wanted to say correctly. I apologize if this is long-winded, but I'm trying to prove a point. The combination of the two prescriptions CAN work, just not for everyone. Everyone's brain is different. Just because it works for me doesn't mean it isn't going to work for you. Listen to your doctor's advice. If you have any unwanted symptoms, all you have to do is call your doctor and they will most likely prescribe you something else or have you come in to see what they can do to help you. Not all drugs are bad, mkay?:-)
Good for u,! U go girl. And thx for sharing because I was wondering about trying the 2 together
Sounds like someone needs a meeting lol. I go to AA, take adder all & wellbutrin Responsibly and am sober and happy and don't drink anymore. Try to be happy for others if they are good productive caring people like me, ok? Thanks there is enough negativity in the world. Here's my site: ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed

That is not my experience at all. My doctor monitors me very closely with every med I am prescribed, especially adderall. He didn't just "hand it out." It seems to me your friends are at fault for lying to get their hands on the drugs. Adderall is a controlled substance and most doctors will diagnose ADD before writing a prescription for Adderall. Doctors are held responsible for writing too many prescriptions for a controlled substance.
No its not exactly the same. The FDA reports state its differences, the FDA has ruled it was with in the limits and guidelines of closeness to be marketed. So just because it is close enough to go to market, doesn't mean it is close enough not to affect people who switch to it from the original.
What mg are u on
You are making a sweeping generalization about people on these meds and about doctors who prescribe them. You don't have any idea what you are talking about. Trying to talk to you would be like trying to have a conversation with a trashcan. haha.
I have been on Wellbutrin 450xr for 6 months and was just prescribed 20mg adderall. Would it be best to take at different times? What have you found to work well?
I almost killed myself before i was put on welbutrin yes i was already on adderal for foccus n put on welbutrin for depression by depression gets so bad that i lock myself up n have really bad anger for no reason n know im leveled out im also bipolar n have been hospitalized so know this meds are not c**p but that is your opinion i just wanted to let u know about the results this pills have done for me
Wellbutrin can take up to 2-3 weeks to take full affect. It has to build up in your system.
The FDA allows for up 20% difference from the original name brand. Also, the shel/casing of the generic can be totally different. I now take name brand Wellbutrin and it's indeed different from the generic! It's even covered on most insurance plans, usually after prior authorization whereas most other medications would be denied. Even they know this.
Thanks for sharing your story! My child has ADD and dyslexia, so she's on medication and we see a huge difference.
