Antidepressants for ADHD? Everything that isn’t an upper for ADHD? Why?
I think that all of those have some impact on the levels of nor-epinephrine and/or dopamine in your system, which also impacts ADHD as far as I understand. I take bupropion hydrochloride (Wellbutrin in the US) for a combination of depression and adhd. It’s mild compared to the stimulants I think. Where I live, doctors do everything they can in order to avoid prescribing addictive substances, including stimulants.
That’s wild, here they go straight to stimulants and usually the depression disappears once the ADHD is treated
