In reply to welbutrin -- weight gain ??, posted by michele bence on April 17, 2000, at 1:46:35
Hi I was put on Paxil and gained so much weight, I couldn't stop eating...especially sweets. I would eat 3-5 pounds of M&M's a week with out hesitancy.
I've been on Wellbutrin for about a month, I have lost an incredible amount in sizes, but not much in actual weight. I went from 9/10 pants to 6/7, it has made a nice difference.
The only problem is I can't hold down food. I'm constantly tossing my cookies about an hour after I eat. Have major nasea and dizzieness, so I will be calling my doctor today to see if I can change or lower my meds. I'm on 150mg twice a day.
I haven't had any emotional ties to food like I used to. Eating has no longer become important to me.
Also Paxil is know for having a long term weight gain effect on patients.
Hope this helps...Max
