Have not met with the doctor yet, but I am wondering whether I have gallstones. The symptoms are similar. Gallstones happen more often in women in my age bracket and generally are caused byy eating fatty foods. Rapid weight loss also can help cause them. I am wondering whether my meds have had something to do with this. If the problem is my gallbladder, I probably will have to have it out, which I am not looking forward to.

> LisaI realize how old this post is but just found it. I too lost 40 lbs while taking Wellbutrin (which I had put on taking other antidepressants). However I stopped taking Wellbutrin in April because of memory problems and have already put 12 lbs back on. So....wondering if this happened to others.
