> I also take Adderall XR 30 mgs for ADD (inattentive). However, I began to get major episodes of rebound depression (i stopped all anti-depressants three months ago), so my doc added 300 mgs Wellbutrin SR.

>I've been on a combination of 300 mg/day wellbutrin SR and dexedrine spansules (40 mg/day) for depression and ADD for about 6 months now and doing well. However, I just started having some strange side effects that my doctor felt was an allergic reaction to the wellbutrin so he told me to go off of it. We're going to wait it out and see if the dexedrine alone will work for the depression. From the ADD standpoing, I don't notice a difference with or without the wellbutrin but that could be because I take a relatively high dose of the stimulant. I'm hoping that the dexedrine works successfully to keep the depression at bay because I had a horrible experience with prozac in the past and I really would like to wash my hands of the anti-depressants altogether.
> Anyone else on this combination?
