hi shutterbug -

my only experience with wellbutrin was when doing the stimulant therapies for ADHD and yes, that's what it was recommended for on the 90 day 'off' times for the meds. They called it 'stacking' - to come off such a powerful stimulant (required by the FDA every 6 mos with the one I was on) you get the boomerang effect, so right bfore you come off it - they'd give me wellbutrin a week before, it helped with the 'spiking' effect ... but not as much as Celexa did.

So that's the only experience with it I have.
