Hiya,
Okay, I take Wellbutrin XR 300 mg daily. And it's the best thing ever; seriously, I took so many different SSRI's and they were useless for me. I hope it works well for you too!
So, I also have ADD and take Adderall (I was taking Adderall before I started taking Wellbutrin); after I started taking the Wellbutrin I noticed that it really helped with my ADD. It paired with the Adderall made my symptoms totally managable.
I was talking with my Dr. recently and he told me that GSK (who produces Wellbutrin) performed a study, giving patients with ADD 450mg of Wellbutrin daily, and it had pretty great success. It's a pharmacutical company, and they are generally pretty evil, but I think they're on track with this one.
Okay, also, XL vs. SR. I took SR for a while, and after I switched to XL I had less 'dips' throughout the day; I am stable from waking to sleep. Man, I'm such a big fan of this medication! I'm in college now, finally, and coping better than I would have been. Actually, I probably wouldn't even be here without it.
Hope this helps!
