I can't explain why I feel so much better, since I have added on a low dose of bupropion. I seem to have improved sleep architecture like I had on Adderall without feeling panicky. I don't seem to have the *avoidance* I used to have. I really seem to be getting a paradoxical *anxiolytic* response to this med. I also have needed less Klonopin-I only took 1/4 of a .5mg tab all day today! I should be getting very sluggish and melancholic now (SAD symptoms-late fall/early winter), but it isn't happening. The best way to sum this up is like taking a pstim with little anxiety. I notice some improvement with attention-but nowhere as marked as with a pstim. But, there is no *degradation* of cognitive function that I normally experience at this time of year.
Go figure,Mitch
