Wellbutrin for ADD? | ADHD Information

I am hearing a lot about Wellbrutin being precriped for ADD.  Does anyone have any information on how it works?My son is going to try starting it tommorow. He's 7.  He's starting with 1/2 pill once a day in a.m. 50mg I believe.  It is for ADHD and has an anti-depressant also in it.  I will let you know how he does.  I would like to know if anyone has had success with it too.Yeah Welbutrin is an Anti-depressant. It's actually one of the only ones I haven't tried yet. Good luck and please keep us posted.if you go to welbutrin.com you will find a lot of info and an offer for a 10 dollar coupon off the next purchase.  I got some samples today and have a prescription for Welbutrin for ADD.  I hope it helps. 

My pediatrician will not prescribe anti-depressants for children with ADHD.  Recently, studies have shown that children and teens taking anti-depressants have a HIGHER suicide rate.

 

I am going to find more infor for you and will post again.

HI,

 

This is the report by NPR on the FDA study.

I found many sites, some who think its okay (apparently).  Anyway, I hope you will read this and ask  your DR.

 

Good Luck
