Oh my goodness, I'm so thankful that I decided to check this site tonight. I was just researching yesterday the relationship between breast enlargement and Wellbutrin. I thought I was the only one experiencing this strange side effect.
Like so many I've also gained weight on the SSRIs that I took. I can not tolerate SSRIs an I've improved substantially with Wellbutrin.
I've also began to lose weight (about 10-15 pounds), but my cup size is the same.
Could you also send me the information you've found. I'd like to discuss this with my doctor when we meet in Dec.Thanks!

> i have had a terrible time with SSRI's and effexor though they really help me with depression.
> although i gained weight all over with paxil which is the drug i was on, my breast size increased at a very rapid pace. I went from a size 34C to a size 34FF. When i came off meds, i lost weight but my breasts stayed the same size. This doesnt happen to everyone.
> well i am totally out of proportion now. It is supposedly due to rises in prolactin levels. However when i had mine tested it came out 'normal'.
