In reply to Adult ADD Wellbutrin questions, posted by cali on January 29, 2003, at 1:10:44
Hi!
Well, I've never been diagnosed as having ADD, but I do think I do have it! I, like you, have always been like a little bit below my potential and this kind of thing. Always the second best, or the third best, in my class - never the very best! Now, at the age of 38, I, who love literature, seem to be unable to spend 30 minutes reading a book or anything else. Seeing movies sometimes can be a torture to me. Recently, I participated in a one-year specialization program in my professional area (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I did pass and get my certificate, but I did not get the honor, or merit, as I had wanted to when I started the course, and which I'm sure I'd be entitled to had I been able to dedicate more to reading and writing my papers. Well, if you read some of the other posts that I've put here, you'll see that I'm struggling with depression, so I really don't know whether it's ADD or depression that is keeping me from concentrating on things that would be important for me. Also, if you read my previous posts, you'll see that I've been on Wellbutrin for 2 months and I'm still the same! However, the focus of my treatment has always been my depression (since that's what really hurts!). But I could have had some ADD-related gains from Wellbutrin, which I haven't so far! Anyway, that's my experience, which I thought I could share with you.
Best wishes,
Ricardo
