I've been on Wellbutrin for nearly two years now. Overall, I've lost about 5-10 lbs. but I've also made other changes, like I've become a serious runner. I lost all the weight in my first year on Wellbutrin (but I had other medical problems that could account for weight loss too.) I think Wellbutrin's effects on appetite wear off after about 6 months, as your body gets used to the drug. I am skeptical of any pills for weight loss. Your body will adjust to anything. I'm back to the same overeating that I did pre-Wellbutrin.
