I tend to have very high levels of stress and anxiety at times. Right now because of the awful long winter still in progress, and in the summer because I have a 2 year old and an 8 year old that are constantly at each other because yeah schools out. So I took Wellbutrin for a few weeks last summer but stopped due to awfull constipation and I swear I was losing hair. I recently started taking Paxil, but I've heard some terrible stories about weight gain down the road from taking Paxil. This really scares me because presently I am taking Metobolite, eating better, and exercising to tone up my body and to maintain my current weight because we are going on a wonderful vacation in April. However, I'm thinking about giving Wellbutrin a second try, but does this have to same weight gain effects? I really don't understand why they make a drug to make you feel better, but the long term effort make you feel even worse because you've gained weight. Please advice.
