Drug Cocktail

Hello,
I was diagnosed with ADD a little less than 2 months ago, for which I began taking Ritalin immediately; I was already taking Bupropion and Clonazapem (also a recent addition). About a month ago, I began forgetting small, inconsequential things. More recently, I have been forgetting HUGE things. I was already being weaned off of the Clonazapem, because of one its side effects, before the forgetfulness was attributed to it. That said, I understand that Ritalin and Bupropion may be a problematic combination and that Bupropion has been been known to cause forgetfulness, too. I need "something" for my "moods" and "anxiety" but the current combo isn't working as well as I had hoped... Two weeks ago, I received a prescription for Seroquel, which I take only at night, although I was given the option of taking it in small amounts during the day. I am wary of doing so, however, because I had been experiencing "tiredness" during the day, practically nodding off each afternoon, which is why my Clonazapem dosage was initially lowered. Because of my work, I really need to be alert both mentally and physicall during the day, so side effects like forgetfulness and sleepiness are deadly. Today, I took 100mg less than Bupropion, I normally take 200mg and no Clonazapem and it was not a good day. I am not sure if it is the weaning, hormones, or anxiety but I simply could not focus. I'd really like more info about the current drug combo of Bupropion, Ritalin, and Seroquel (evenings only), with minimal Clonazapem. Thank you.
