Hi LAtrice; does it work well?I hope to be put on it, my symptoms are mainly lack of energy, demotivation, lack of pleasure feelings especially loss of new output in terms of renewed emotions, thoughts, recycle of ideas etc.
Ill take for sure aniracetam for memory and cognition but want to be put on bupropion since I think too its the only noradrenergic-dopamin. available now .
Does it help with concentration?
TYL.

This drug, in my opinion, is the best drug ever created (smile). I've been on SSRI's but they target Serotonin and never worked for me. My deficiency is dopamine and norenephrine (I'm a horrible speller). Once prescribed Wellbutrin I felt great. My concentration is out of the world. I'm motivated and have a renewed spirit of life. It's unbelievable. It may take 1 or 2 weeks to kick-in but once it does - you'll see the improvement. I have also been diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficeit Disorder) so I take Adderall-XR. I read your symptoms which sound exactly like mine. Have you ever thought you might have ADD? (without hyperactivity)
Opps! - almost forgot. It's they only anti-depressant that doesn't affect sex drive. Make sure you take it early enough in the day - it does have a tendency to cause insomnia. But to me, it's worth it. Hope I answered all your questions. Let me know how it works for you and please feel free to mail me again :-)What's aniracetam?

Hi, I hope italian physicians will be able to diagnose ADHD as far as i know its not a very common diagnosis , because theres lack of information i think.What you say here about bupropion sounds convincing.I dont know where to turn this time, if not a dopaminergic , im now on edronax but it doesnt help me much.I need the vitality I once had, or else some sort of brain damage occurred and I wont be able to experience such intensity and density of thought i once did, thats a real shame.More than all of the pains, that docs here arent informed about such diseases like ADHD , sounds incredible.I dont even know if amphetamine salts are available here or ritalin, dexedrine.Aniracetam is a newer nootropic drug used in the elderly to help cognition, but widely known in the smart drugs world as being much more potent than his far ancestor, piracetam in helping memory, creativity and wellbeing.It stimulates also D2 receptors and is said to help with sociability.Another choice for me would be mirapex as an adjunct to a noradrenergic.
Hopefully ill be removed from being stuck in this shallow state of mind that ashames my soul and abiliy to be a human and express myself.It s like that since I was 16, after I had had a bad reaction after smoking hashish and put under neuroleotics which have really worsened my already present even if agitated, very, depression.
One day perhaps ill go to the US to be cured in the right way, lucky you.
Maybe your wellbeing is due to the fact that you take Adderall too... maybe
Try mirapex, a D2 or D3 agonist used in augmenting antidepressants, it worked once, years ago for me.Im 23 nowL.

L,
With all the information on the web about ADD, your psychiatrist still does no know about ADD/ADHD? If you asked him to prescribe Adderall would he not do it. He could always look it up in the Physicans Desk Reference. I'll look into the Mirapex. Good Luck. Please let me know how the Wellbutrin works for you.Blessings upon you,
La'Trice

Hi!
Somebody mentioned Italy here... I may have missed one thread, but... who's Italian here? I'd really like to know whether Wellbutrin is available in Italy, as well as about anti-depressants in general. I'm an Italian-Brazilian in the process of becoming a Italian citizen. If I ever decide to move to Italy, I'd really love to know what the situation is there, as regards anti-depressants. Brazil may have its problems, but we're very lucky to have most AD's easily available from our drugstores (of course, you need a prescription), at much cheaper prices than in the US.

Yes Wellbutrin is available here but i dont know its indication, by the way most physicians know.
Its labeled as Zyban, most expensive or Quomem, or else another name, of which zyban is the most expensive (173 Euros for 100 pills against 165 for the others.)You wont find phelnezine, tranylcypromine only in combination with perphrnazine, no ADD drugs, no protryptiline-> Hi!
