Wellbutrin really ... I mean really can be a agitation medicaton, it depends on the person, but what it does is it increases NE more than DA, i researched this a couple years ago...Rililin and focalin are stronger on dopamine reptake...still 450mg of Wellbutrin is about 5-10mg to adderall or ritilin, that's just what I rerember, but there's no rush stimulation. I once took 650mg of it and I got aura rushes and came vary close to feeling I was going to have a siezure. It only happened once...but still even at higher doses above 450mg it doesnt have strong dopamine effects, it has mild psychostimulant [repeative, hyperfocus, vigilince stuff]
....methyphendiate should be used in this situation after it is maxed out on 450. Lamictal with wellbutrin would be a great combination because it prevents both siezure like symptoms and levels out the anxiety wellbutrin can produce. I really don't know why its untolerable with people with anxiety issues...the only thing I can think is because of NE properties.Provigil is good for me....even thought I should be on Vyvanse or Focalin right now...its gonna be a long while until then.
Any further questions....just shoot them out to me:)
