> Have you tried Wellbutrin? I imagine you have. I think it's a pretty good antidepressant and I found it helped with ADD symptoms. I've tons of anxiety! Right now I take Nuvigil, which helps quite a bit. No matter what form of traditional stimulants I took, I would have a yucky crash, even Vvyanse and Concerta. You won't know until you try, and one good thing about stimulants is they won't stay in your system long. If you have a bout of anxiety, you could ride it out with an extra dose of Klonopin and call it a day.
Wow that's crazy, one dose of Wellbutrin sent my anxiety thru the roof. And I literally did ride it out with an extra dose of Klonopin!
I think Wellbutrin is one of those meds that you just have to try. My impression from my pdoc was we try it, okay didn't work, on to the next.
I think it works for a lot of people. You'll probably know early on if its of benefit or needs to be thrown it in the bin.
