Can Wellbutrin And Adderall Reduce Anxiety Levels?

wellbutrin & adderal have seizure potential
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Wellbutrin (bupropion) has some research evidence that it has some role in adhd...but this drug also has some side effects which are of concern when taken alongwith adderal-- both of them have seizure potential more than thought...and together this risk increases...
So, its better that you look towards other options like- clonidine/ pimozide or may be haloperidol for controlling tics.
For antidepressant action there are many safer choices available for you- like : escitalopram or sertraline. Though they dont have any role in managing hyperactivity/ impulsivity etc., of adhd but are safe and control depression and lethargy and other symptoms very well.
The tics due to adderal can develop anytime during its treatment. More over, complete control of tics when adderal leaves the body is indirect evidence that it is no tourettee disorder but only a side effect of adderal.
Hope this helps you in deciding the line of managment.
Good luck!
