May be worth checking in cases where stimulants aren't an option. It's however not an ADHD wonder drug and Wikipedia article[1] states that: > bupropion may be effective for ADHD but (...) this conclusion has to be interpreted with caution, because clinical trials were of low quality due to small sizes and risk of bias [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bupropion#Attention_deficit_hy...

Anecdotally, Wellbutrin XR 150mg did help me with some problems, but not the ones described in OP.

There's a couple week period of euphoria where I didn't have those issues at all, but I've come back down to baseline.
