Hi Harlock: Interesting about your experience with Wellbutrin. I gained at least 10 pounds or more while on Prozac a little over a year ago. Prozac made me even more of a zombie than the tiredness I feel with Wellbutrin XL so I actually feel lucky. Wellbutrin in the beginning made me a little nauseas and I didn't notice stomach growling when I hadn't eaten. BUT that was in the beginning, maybe the first 2 weeks. After the first 2 weeks that stopped. I hadn't lost anything on Wellbutrin but because my weight had already creeped up at an uncomfortable level with Prozac, I decided to diet by cutting carbohydrates, mostly sugars. Wellbutrin makes it EASIER to control your eating when you need to. It feels great to have complete control and not fall off the "wagon". One thing Wellbutrin hasn't helped me with is my terrible procrastination. As for the weight control, I've been able to lose about 7 pounds in the last month. And I have great control over what I eat. Before... with Prozac, I was hungry all the time! Good luck on your new med.
