Concentration... or should I say, "Lack thereof,"
I recently started taking Wellbutrin. It seems like ever since I started taking it, I have a hard time concentrating for any length of time. I can't write very much, and reading seems to be just as difficult. It's really frustrating too. I like to get lost in a story whether I'm a reader or an author. It's like Wellbutrin does something in my brain that makes it difficult to focus. It does seem to improve my moods though. Hopefully I will adjust soon and my brain will be able to function. I'm also starting to wonder if I have a shortage of dopamine. Dopamine gives a person a sense of pleasure. Thus, if dopamine is low, there is not as much motivation to complete tasks that are pleasurable. For me writing is extremely pleasurable and so is reading for that matter. I hope the medication isn't to blame. It's difficult to say at this point. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
