> This is so not fair. I started taking Wellbutrin as I was coming off of effexor because I couldn't tolerate the 15 lb weight gain and no sex drive. I quit smoking shortly after starting Wellbutrin and gained another 10 lbs or so (was actually eating less too when I quit) I've been exercising 4 times a week, intensely, cut down on food intake and I am not losing an ounce and the sex drive has not improved much either. I have yet to hear one story like mine from Wellbutrin. Everyone seems to have a greater sex drive and loses weight.
Not everyone, Marie. I've had the same experience (including the quitting smoking while on WB) to a "t"...
I don't think they know how ADs correspond with weight gain or loss. My endocrinologist pretty much said that himself. It's a crap shoot, and the variables are barely worth identifying because not enough data exists to make sense of them.
Not much help, I know. But I wanted you to know that you are not alone in your experience.
