    Lexapro evened out my mood enough to make me less suicidal, but eventually I found I felt completely zombified and it was just a new form of bad. Wellbutrin has been the most effective thing I’ve taken but it’s sent me down a rabbit hole of potentially getting diagnosed ADHD as an adult

      I would like to echo this comment. I started in just Lexapro - it did even me out but I still felt like my energy was missing so we added in Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin has helped with some of my ADHD, and I look forward to making more progress on that in the coming months.

      Anyway, eventually I wanted off Lexapro, so I weened off of that and kept the Wellbutrin because there’s a major issue with ADHD meds in this dumb country I’m in. Wellbutrin by itself (and even with Lexapro) carries a bit more anxiety side effects than I would like but I’m doing okay managing it so far. *Oh, and it seems to also make me irritable af sometimes. That side effect really sucks.
