Answer

You probably only need the straterra. GET A SECOND OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer

I was perscribed Concerta, Stattera and Effexor. For adult adhd /and ocd. The Concerta I was already on and am only going to be on it for another month until the Strattera takes hold. So I guess it isn't that unusual. I am 37.

Answer

No. Butif you really have a concern you should consult with the prescribing doctor. You could be on one of the medications till the other kicks in. Or you could simply be taking a low dose of all 3. The dose of Wellbutrin ( and not being a prescribing doctor) it's hard to tell what the direction is here... you could have been given the Wellbutrin for side effects, or to work with one or both of the stimulant meds. Wellbutrin is a stimulant medication so to speak as well but not in the sense that the other 2 are. If you are not feeling comfortable with this cocktail be sure to talk with your doctor. Only he or she can calm your fears or change the prescription altogether. As far as being a weird combination... no it's not.
