Reviews for Wellbutrin XL to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

I started taking 150 mg of bupropion (the generic Wellbutrin) and after a couple weeks doubled it to 300 mg after my doctor told me to. Exactly one week later I broke out into the biggest, puffiest, itchiest hives all over my body. My joints also became swollen, stiff, and painful. My throat was also sore and tight. I ended up in the ER.
WHAT'S REALLY SAD IS THAT IT WAS WORKING WONDERS FOR ME! I studied half as much and it was twice as effective, my test grades were great!
I'm now trying to decide between Effexor or Straterra.

I absolutely loved this medication. Within a few short weeks, for the first time ever I was able to complete tasks I never thought I'd finish. In one day I excitedly completed 6 projects that had been sitting around unfinished for months. Sadly for me, I got a horrible rash and realized I was allergic to it. I've tried a few other medications, but for me, nothing's ever come close to being as effective.

Helps me wake faster in the morning. Thinking clearer. Helped me get over sexual dysfunction (SSRI induced years ago. Stopped SSRIs, but residual emotional scarring remained). Was on Lamictal and Depakote. Exchanged the Depakote for Wellbutrin XL and my girlfriend commented I went from boy to man in less than a month. Superb concentration and continuous connected thought.

In just a week I have noticed a difference in my ability to focus and get things accomplished. Decision making is easier. So far no side effects. I up the dosage today so hopefully this will be just what I need.
