I am wondering if anyone has gained weight on Wellbutrin? I know it's possible to maybe lose a couple of pounds, but I just read that it can make you gain also. I listen to all of you as much as I listen to the doc., you're very helpful to me. -L

I gained 10 pounds of muscle if that helps, with no extra bodyfat. :) I don't think it was the wellbutrin though. I consciously tried to increase my calories while switching up my workout program. If anything I'd say it makes me less hungry than more so, while speeding up my metabolism. I think it has a positive effect on body composition. Good luck.

Yeah. I gained weight on Wellbutrin and nobody believes me still. (Docs that is). I really think for me though it is because anything that causes anxiety for me sends me right to the fridge. Doesn't kill my appetite at all.

Thanks for the information everyone. I am already taking myself down on Wellbutrin, it does cause anxiety. -L

Try a lower dose. Less panic into hunger. The weaker generic got rid of the panic. I use to get one every day at around lunch. I was on 300 mg WB sr, now I take 400 mg generic. I'm not sure the panic will cause wight gain, because I think the med increses motabilizm, you sweat off the energy.
