Wellbutrin for ADHD and Depression: Seeking Experiences

My doctor just put me on wellbutrin for adhd and depression, at the moment I'm just starting out with treatment so we're giving this medication an 8 week trial run to see how it goes and if there needs to be any changes. For those who have taken wellbutrin, what was your experience? When did you start noticing changes, if any?

I haven't had problems with it. I don't think it's helped my mood much, but it is helping me cut back on smoking

The Wellbutrin didn’t help my depression at all. I saw decent ADD improvement but I’m also taking adderall which has been like a miracle drug for me. I switched to Wellbutrin from Zoloft because of the sexual side effects. The Wellbutrin was good in that way but for my brain anyway not much help with depression. But everybody is different, maybe after a few weeks it will kick in for him? Good luck.

It didn’t help at all. Went off cold turkey after 10 months of zero improvement

I didn't personally notice a difference. My system didn't react even after 3 weeks of taking the meds. My sister however, she had better luck with her anxiety. (She doesn't have ADHD though)

My husband is currently on it. He said he noticed a difference immediately, but his anxiety was really out of hand.
