MODERATORS
Wellbutrin definitely helped me much more than any other medication classified as an antidepressant. I think if I had known it was helping my undiagnosed adhd at the time I would have stayed on it, but it didn't do shit for my depression lol.
I have never had to wait for a dose of Adderall or Vyvanse since I got diagnosed 2 years ago, and i actually have an extra month of them at the moment. I'm not sure if this is location or pharmacy specific, all my meds come from the VA.
Thank you both for the encouragement. Just started wellbutrin for depression and amxiety. Big bonus if it treats what I suspect is undiagnosed ADHD, if not I'm starting therapy soon so we should be able to suss it out.
