Uhmm,
So i've had several wellbutrin trials.
It, provigil, parnate, and tianeptine, are the only effective AD's in my book. Not including the stronger stims/benzo's etc.
At one point I tried to abuse wellbutrin, high doses like 900-1200, crushing it, insufflating it (yeach), and at those doses absolutely felt like ritalin. Less pleasant perhaps. Moderate peripheral stim. Regardless, days later (after i had used my last xanax), had not slept, was extremely stressed, I had a seizure. i had a big *ss med bill, and suspended drivers liscence.So my thinking is now using only 150mg daily, that yes as a chem wellbutrin would have peripheral effects, but mostly at high doses. (At 150mg/day, it feels a bit like a extended release libido enhancing cup of tea..) But I wouldn't touch anything higher than 300mg wellbutrin as the seizure threshold drops and more than 1/1000 peeps will experience seizures.
Wellbutrin even at low doses synergizes with other stims dramatically, even caffeine, with which I can feel moderately increased heart rate.
I know a number of pdocs that use wellbutrin and provigil safely.
I found wellbutrin and parnate quite effective, but was a bit worried as over time peripheral stim felt a bit excessive. Was great AD otherwise though.l8
