B2, Wellbutrin did the same thing to me. I forced down as much as I could three times a day, but I realized (after losing even more weight) that it is not easy to eat as much as normal when you have to force it down. It was like my throat was closed, or my stomach.
I was only on it by itself for about a month. It did subside a little during that time (like, once every few days, I'd actually get hungry) but not enough to continue w/ bupropion alone. After I added Zoloft my appetite got much better, but it is still not up to normal levels, and I have not gained any of the weight back (it has been about 6 weeks on WB + Zoloft). So I think for me, that side effect really didn't go away. I agree that if you are that weak, you should call your dr.
