My experience has been that Wellbutrin didn't do much for focus and a tremor that I developed from stimulents continued with it. It was great for depression and addictive cravings though.
Strattera gives me all the + benefits I experienced with stimulents and my tremor has decreased considerably.
I did have noticeable side effects (dizziness, major sedation primarily) for the first two weeks, and need to take it with food.
I had pretty much stopped smoking under the Wellbutrin and I notice I am beginning to smoke again - the cravings for cigs are back. I haven't noticed much rebound effect at all on the strattera. Been on it for about 3 weeks now.
all in all - I am very happy with the strattera thus far.
good luck
