In reply to welbutrin -- weight gain ??, posted by michele bence on April 17, 2000, at 1:46:35
> does anyone have experience of welbutrin and weight gain or loss ??I gained weight while on a high dose of Remeron. When paired with lithium, I blew up like a balloon. Hardly any of my clothes fit.
Got off lithium a year ago. Wellbutrin SR was added to the Remeron last summer. Dose was doubled to 200mg in October. I've hovered at around ten pounds less than I was. Wellbutrin has reduced my appetite. If I go with it, eat healthy things, avoid high-calorie stuff like candy and alcohol, the pounds come off without much effort. Staying away from food isn't as much of a struggle on Wellbutrin. I don't even really have to think about it anymore. It just happens.
Also, I should be exercising -- I need the endorphins. I am hopeful that as summer comes and I get outside in the yard more, more weight will come off. My largest jeans used to be uncomfortably tight. Now I'm constantly hiking them up. However, I have not gotten into the next size down yet.
Best wishes.
