I was on Wellbutrin as part of my treatment for depression. What's interesting is that Wellburtrin is dopamine reuptake inhibitor while Ritalin and Adderall stimulate (or mimic; I can't find a decent reference right now) the production of dopamine.
I'm one of those people who rather meditates and works out regularly than to take any drugs - I don't like to mess with my brain
Something to consider is that your brain is already messed with, so the use of drugs might be needed to un-mess it. But it's kind of a black art. You need to try things and see what works for you.
I had been on assorted antidepressants and stimulants for a number of years and it really helped to a) read up on neuropharmacology and b) have doctors who would listen to my suggestions about what drugs to try and why I wanted to try them. For example, it's handy to know if you respond better to drugs that focus more on dopamine than, say, serotonin.
(The reality is that no mind-altering drug is so cut-and-dry and completely understood, so you end up being a lab rat in your own life experiment.)
