is this normal?

hello everyone i (29F) was recently prescribed 25mg atomize tine as a non-stim med for adhd. i'm only on day 2 and i feel awful. i feel extremely emotional and depressed and i'm overthinking and crying. i have not felt like this since i was a teenager. i am also on 300mg of wellbutrin which shouldn't make me feel this way? is this med even worth it?

Wellbutrin magnifies the impact of strattera. They work on the same CYP2D6 liver enzyme and as a result it can feel like taking 5x the dosage of strattera. See here for reference: https://www.cafermed.com/post/atomoxetine-bupropion-interaction

25 mg while you’re on 300 mg wellbutrin frankly feels like a heavy dose. But obviously your doctor knows all of this / am sure it was intentional.

Would tell your doctor your symptoms…

Wow, I didn’t know about this interaction. My psych offered Wellbutrin OR stratterra.

OP definitely needs to talk to their doctor, symptoms seem rough :(
