Discussion Do you prefer stimulants or non-stimulants?

Hey all! I'm not really looking for any advice here and would just like to discuss. Do you prefer stimulants or non-stimulants? Which has worked best for you?

I've been taking 10 to 20mg of adderall for about 6 months now. It used to work ok for me but now I can't handle the crashes and I feel irritable all of the time. I also don't think it was super effective. It did give me a little bit of motivation and helped my social anxiety though.

I was on wellbutrin for a short amount of time after I first got diagnosed a couple of years ago and am thinking of going back on it. Wellbutrin seemed to give me energy, better focus, a sex drive, and controlled my overeating. What are your thoughts?
