None of these ADs--including wellbutrin--make you high. They take weeks to work. Side effects might be stimulating, but not in the same way as speed. I don't think wellbutrin is abusable because of the lack of a high. Otherwise we would be reading about wellbutrin addicts in the newspaper. Just doesn't happen. If someone were looking for a buzz or a drug to get addicted to, wellbutrin would be a pretty disappointing choice. I can't imagine anyone abusing wellbutrin because it has nothing as a 'reward' to offer. It is an AD, not a drug of abuse. I've never heard of anyone abusing it. Amphetamine is addicting, wellbutrin isn't.
