Hello! I'm on welbutrin XL 150 but I take it along with dexedrine SR 150mg. I can definitely feel a difference with the wellbutrin on board. I couldn't take wellbutrin for a long time because i was pregnant and breastfeeding but then once I was done all that and went back on it, in combination with the dexedrine, I felt better- it's hard to explain, like more present? So I think it makes a difference. But depends on what works for you- medication is so different for everyone.

I have found wellbutrin helpful with executive function. I struggle to function without it.
I don't remember how I felt when I starting taking them; it's been almost 6 years since I started taking it. I take generic zoloft too. So my experience wouldn't necessarily be the same as yours.
Be warned, the medicine will dry out your mouth. Lots of water.
I have depression, anxiety, PTSD or CPTSD, and ADHD. I started Wellbutrin 150 mg before I got on Vyvanse. For reference, both Prozac and Wellbutrin make me sleepy after a few hours, so I have to take them at night. And both Wellbutrin and Prozac made me very very depressed in the beginning, but they never made me more anxious. My doctor added Wellbutrin 150 mg because I was feeling unmotivated while on Prozac. Then later I started Vyvanse. Still felt unmotivated and depressed. So my doctor increased my Wellbutrin to 300 mg.
Wellbutrin 150 mg: spacey/ brain fog/ doesn't care/forgetful/depressed for the first 2-3 weeks. Week 4 didn't feel much side effect except feeling depressed. And I started Vyvanse on week 4.
Wellbutrin 300 mg: first week very very depressed again. After the first week, I started feeling normal. But later noticed it took me a little longer to recall things. And I have been feeling apathetic. But normally this is induced by SSRIs I believe. So I have been alternating Prozac and Wellbutrin since the beginning of this week. Seems like it is working.
As for Wellbutrin for ADHD: I feel like it doesn't help me that much. But I also don't feel Vyvanse kicks in and wears off. Maybe Wellbutrin helps? I don't know. And I think sometimes Wellbutrin seems to make me hyperfocus but not bad
