Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

Wellbutrin, buspar and xanax, these medicines help to control anxiety as well as depressive symptoms. These drugs never make a person slow, but helps to improve energy as well as concentration. In your case, increasing age and physical ailment could be the reason behind fatiguability as well as decreasing concentration. In that case, you can try some health supplement after physician consultation or get yourself thoroughly investigated to rule out any physical problem.

In case, you need further help, you can ask.
