Wellbutrin for obesity

Medications
1

For my overweight friends… who gained a lot of weight on meds, ask your doctor about Wellbutrin.
I have been taking it for a month now and since I increased the dose to 300 mg I lost my appetite.
I am still eating when hungry but making such better choices that I am automatically losing weight.
My stomach and tummy are flat again and in 2 months I will reach my goal weight.

It might or not work for you so if you are interested just talk to your doctor, who know, it might help you too. It is supposed to be anti depressant but it is not making me any happier, just in better control, awareness and it is helping me with my thought disorder OCD too.

Let’s see in a month.

The next time I see my pdoc, I’ll definitely be sure to ask her about Wellbutrin! This sounds like a really nice med to be on. :smiley:

wellbutrin is an activating agent and increases dopamine. It can worsen psychosis in some people. It is also known to cause seizures in some people.

Yes, Wellbutrin can be very stimulating
Probably not a good choice for me
Glad that it’s helping you out @sleepybug

Wellbutrin did stabilize me but not in any ‘spectacular’ way. I wasn’t euforic, over energized and my appetite didn’t change. I only stopped smoking.
But I bet its the best antidepressant out there.
