Wellbutrin & children

my 8 yr old son has been thru a few different meds since his diag. of anxiety and ADHD.

My son has been on WB for a little over one month now.  We use it in conjunction with Zoloft.

It takes about 30 days for WB to be effective that is why a lot of people don't like it.  It takes awhile to work.

I have just started seeing results on my son.  He is much more calm, can focus a bit more and still has a fun personality.

Even though WB is an antidepresant.  It for some reason works for ADHD also.

I will give it a try and stick it out for as long as you can 30-45 days  If it doesn't work, try something else.

My son was on ADDERXR-It worked great for about 1 year, then even with increasing the dosage it seem to loose it's effect.  So, we went the non-stimulant route with WB.  Good luck.

PS, I have seen no side effects as of yet.

My 12 year old son just started taking Wellbutrin on Friday.  He's taking 100 mgs in the AM.  Next week he'll add 100 mgs at 4:00 pm.  Has anyone else's child taken this?  If so how did it work?  We've been trying for 3 years to find a medication that works.  Unfortunately we have had little succcess.
