Wellbutrin and increased stuttering Im in my late 20s and recently got a diagnosis of ADHD-I (ADD). 2,5 weeks ago the psychiatrist prescribed me Wellbutrin XR 300mg.I seem to tolerate it well, but it feels like my senses are now on high alert. I have much more energy, but I'm much more fidgety and am much more anxious, especially in social situations. Due to a mild stutter I've always been somewhat socially anxious among new people, but it seems that since starting medication this feeling has multiplied, which in turn also affects my stutter gravely. This might be temporarily, time will tell. But anyone of y'all who has used Wellbutrin: what was your long term experience with it with regards to your stutter?
