Depends on the country. In Europe, it's not so easy. In the UK, the last I checked, it was contraindicated for long-term use, meaning it could be used for smoking cessation but not for long-term ADHD treatment.

Wellbutrin has a very different mechanism of action, and a different effectiveness profile. I wouldn't say it's "similar to amphetamines" in any clinical sense.
- thethethethe 4y agoI was just saying it is similar on the sense that it works right away and has a noticeable effect, unlike other depression meds that people take, like SSRIs which take months to kick in

It is not a typical treatment, but a psychiatrist in the UK does have the discretion to prescribe Bupropion off-label. In my own n=1 experience, as a fourth option, only after unsatisfactory trials of more traditional stimulants and Atomoxetine.
