> michael, I take adderall and Wellbutrin (200mgs twice per day). Wellbutrin is supposed to be a stimulating anti-depressant, but it did not help me with energy at all. My mood improvement could be due to the Wellbutrin, although I had been taking it for 12 weeks with no effect what-so-ever, until I added the adderall. Energy and motivation, I definitely do attribute to adderall, and yes, it does help with focus and concentration as well. Keep in mind it is not a long acting drug like an anti-depressant. I take three 10mg. doses spread thru the day, and can tell a difference if I miss a dose. Hope this helps, if you think of anything else, ask away!CarolAnnCarolAnn-
Thanks for the response, you got every question I had for you. One more came to mind - ever had any experience with amantadine (an antiviral that I've read is sometimes used to augment AD's for anorgasmia/energy/mood - I believe it affects dopamine)?
By the way, I had the same experience with wellbutrin - 200mg twice daily - with the same results (or lack thereof?) that you had. Thanks again, and good luck.
