What Causes Fatigue While On Wellbutrin?
I am a white male 53 years old and have adhd and am taking Wellbutrin , I am not depressed but have no energy or drive to do anything . I was thinking about asking my doctor for an Adderall prescription , but its so expensive . All I feel that I need is something that will get me going without it being ridiculously strong or addictive.

Hi,
Fatigue, exhaustion, and lack of drive are common features of depression.
So, these symptoms are attributable to your disease and not to your drugs. It will improve in the course of treatment, once the blood levels of drugs are achieved.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
