Hi,
thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone trhough your available history.
adderall adn wellbutrin may cause tierdness as their side effects.
both drugs may increase the chances of mania or hypomania episode.
You should consult your psychiatrist for the detailed evaluation and proper drug management.
if you are having manic depression, you may need to take mood stabilizer drigs like divalprorex sodium or lithium or ox-carbamezapine
meanwhile, you should also rule ot the physical cause of tierdness like vitamine B12 deficiency or thyroid dysfuntion.
You can use brathing exercise to increase your concentration.
thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for using health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your given history in detail.
From your description it appears you have OCD and manic depression - a bipolar disorder. But you have not clarified what is the current problem with these medications?
The fact that you are saying that you cant sit still is a side-effect of many psychiatric drugs. Adding propranolol may help you to take care of this symptom.
regarding your anger control and being moddy, you can enroll yourself into some talk therapy sessions with your doctor.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
In addition to the initial disorder, there could be drug dependence now.
The only solution is to discuss with your Psychiatrist...A change in dosing or the drug may be in necessary.
A second opinion may be useful
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
