In a similar way to how taking Wellbutrin (very mild NDRI like Ritalin) is

Not concerned about safety as I've taken it many times together, I just wonder if I might be better off with a solely serotonin thing and let the Adderall handle the norepinephrine part

They've both been prescribed, this is a more abstract inquiry

That makes me wonder why your doctor did not inform you properly.

About? What is the objective issue? I know I'm suggesting that I consider it duplicative but that doesnt necessrily mean I know anything relevant or am even correct?

I just mean to not take it for granted that my concern is actually well-founded or coherent

Well, this is the kind of question that I would expect your doctor to answer for you. Generally, that is a better source than random people on the internet. If the two are prescribed together, there is probably a reason for it.

If you feel like you may do just as well with less medication, talk to your doc about that and simply plan to try it out for a while. Titrate off one of the meds and see how it affects you.

Good luck!
