> **I'm enjoying the Wellbutrin mainly for the weight loss I'm experiencing and I do seem more upbeat, for the most part. I find myself getting irritable when I space my doses too far apart (or really sleepy--I nearly fell asleep while grocery shopping yesterday). I hate to admit it, but if Neurontin causes me to stop losing weight (or causes me to gain, like the Depakote did) I won't continue to take it. I've had enough of this weight gain and pdocs telling me it's not a "significant reason not to take meds." To me, it IS significant. I get depressed when I gain weight--meds or no meds.
if you makes you feel any better i am on an activating antidepressant too (parnate) and i have lost weight big time... i am talking 6'1" between 148 and 155 pounds here...
when i get really hypomanic i down gabapentin like crazy and it definately doesn't make me hungry .. if it slows down my metabolism, i havn't noticedi'm not saying you will have the same effect...
i'm just hoping that if you have decided to take it you can feel good about it...
