[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 172208, member: 1498"] Was he restless like ADD or ADHD before the Wellbutrin? Wellbutrin use to be prescribed off label for the treatment of ADHD. Then Strattera, an SNRI antidepressant, was approved and we don't hear so much of Wellbutrin being used. The action on the norepinephrine must work for concentration because there are lots of reports about kids doing better at school while on Strattera. Unfortunately most of those kids ended up developing that anger/aggression/hostility thing and stopped taking it. I wonder if he could tell you if the restlessness is different now than before medications. Probably not... Oh, my son never really got the right diagnosis. He just stopped taking medication because it was making him worse. And then he got better. If we thought he was a difficult child before medications, on medications he redefined the term. What he was before medications was a minor inconvenience compared to what he was on them. [/QUOTE]
