In reply to Need feedback regarding Wellbutrin, posted by jip on August 4, 2001, at 22:20:28
there is another thread on this same subject going on that might be useful (sorry, don't know to reference it here!). wb has affected my libido mostly in a negative way (although also in a different, positive way. . . cant say much more than that. ..) and it also affected my appetite - for the 2 months i've been taking it i've had decreased appetite and sugar cravings, with some periods of having to force myself to eat. i've lost 5-8 pounds in two months, which is not really a good thing for me (although i'm happier with losing than gaining!). i felt the effects of wb immediately - like day 2 - although mostly it was an increased energy/motivation/drive. i feel emotionally better, too, but i'm not sure how much of that has to do with the increased energy. . . either way, i'm happy with the change.
> I have recently come off Effexor and have gotten on Wellbutrin. I wanted to regain some libido which was all but totally diminished. I have felt so much better than on effexor. I was too numb and detached.
> I am also on hormone therapy with tetosterone added. In one week, I am feeling very "frisky" again. smile
> I gained weight on the effexor...does anyone have any experience with wellbutrin....will I lose the weight that I put on? Any input on Wellbutrin would be appreciated.
