Bupropion is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor , but it is also used in Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In ur case, if ur psychiatrist has given this medicine, then there is nothing harm in it. It acts by increase dopamine level in brain by decreasing its reuptake, which help in increasing focus. So dont worry, take this medicine. It would help u.
