Hey, sorry for getting back to you late. I have recently been put on bupropion for depression and potentially ADHD. I have never used medication before (started 6 weeks ago), originally was put on Vyvanse (at the suggestion of another HNer ! haha) but I found the stimulant aspect too strong. In a way, the bupropion feels too weak but I am giving it time (supposedly they effect the same neurotransmitters except Vyvanse is a direct stimulant/acts of synthetic dopamine and buproprion merely inhibits the natural process that removes these). What do you think naltrexone would do to help? I'm not sure I am following your reasoning. I actually do have some leftover naltrexone, never thought about combining it. So naltrexone + buproprion = more naturally occuring dopamine/norepinephrine? My concern with bupropion is that it stops the process of removing dopamine from the brain, but what if I am not producing enough to begin with? Here are two links I found helpful: https://www.goodtherapy.org/drugs/antidepressants.html https://www.goodtherapy.org/drugs/antidepressants.html -explains the mechanism of action for lots of antidepressants including bupropion. I believe the different uses for the drug basically comes down to dosage + marketing. https://www.leonardsax.com/stimulants.htm https://www.leonardsax.com/stimulants.htm - a psychologist is against the use of stimulants in kids due to potential for long term damage. Side note, just by presenting myself well and speaking clearly (and looking like a professional), I felt my psychologist was willing to let me try most things. I was very much in the driver's seat as far as what drug to take and at what dose. Next time we meet I may see if they are open to prescribing modafinil, which I have used in the past and thought it worked great (as a stimulant, even complimentary to caffeine) with no side effects. For a time I took both Vyvanse and Buproprion. I was able to study for 10 hours a day and passed a professional certification that week.
