Yes, wellbutrin did seem to have a honeymoon period. I took 300 mg and then went to 450, even considered 600. But as maintenance therapy it noticeably effects norepinephrine. I'm less sleepy and have a bit more drive on it.

As to Docs and stims. The only way I have found to reliably get methylphenidate (or other stims, although I think methylphendiate is safer as just a DRI) is to discuss them in terms of adult ADHD. I have printed out an adult ADHD test. Here are links to two:

What is interesting to me is the similarities in diagnostic criteria for adult adhd inattentive and bipolar 2. The only real difference I can see is that BP2 has a cyclical component (which, confusingly, may not manifest) and adhd diagnosis depends a lot on childhood symptoms.
Anyway, I've been able to walk in off the street in Mexico, and France and get a scrip for concerta. The fact that it has very low abuse potential compared to Ritilan helps. Anyway, good luck with it. Have you tried Emsam? I've found it quite helpful with the same symptoms.
