do you lose weight with Wellbutrin?
I need help.
I was on Effexor for depression but I stopped; it made me gain weight...and i craved carbs like never before. I endured withdrawal, even with slow weaning. Brain zaps, vertigo, nausea - weeks and weeks of it. Finally it's over. I tried to convince myself that I dont need the pills, but I do. I really do. I'm angry and sad all the time. Anxious, nervous, and I hurt myself purposely every night with food. I was depressed because of my never-ending eating disorders, so I can't risk gaining! For someone who attempted suicide twice because of weight, GAINAGE would be dangerous, i'd assume. I'm desperate for pills though because if I go on like this, i feel I might just go back to old ways and lose my five remaining friends... So please, does anyone have advice? I'm considering Wellbutrin... |
I'm on wellbutrin. And yeah, it can help with losing weight. One of the side effects is being more energetic, so it makes it easier to work out. It also kills my appetite-- I basically have to remind myself to eat. I don't know if that's just me, or a common side effect though.
The only thing to note is that it can make you really jittery. But usual disclaimer: Talk to your doc about it. |
I have been taking Wellbutrin for about a year or so. When I first started to take it, I lost quite a bit of weight due to lack of appetite. However, a few months later my body became more used to it, and I didn't have as much of an appetite suppressing affect.
I do think part of my problem was that I counted on it to do more of the work for me, and didn't think I'd still have to make good food choices and exersize... But that's jus' me. |
Thanks!
I'm desperate to feel happy again, but not at the cost of gaining weight. *off to get some Wellbutrin... |
