Hi all
Happy holidays!!!My doc has increased my wellbutrin dose to 450 mg daily in the hope that this will control my weight gain from my other drugs.
Does this make sense to anyone? Has anyone found that high doses have worked out to be more effective in the weight department that lower doses?Thanks

There have been studies done and people taking a higher dose of Wellbutrin have a higher percentage of weight loss than people taking lower doses. I called the company who manufactures it about this, a woman read me the statistics. They are probably also on wellbutrin's web site. Anyway, from my personal experience, when my WB was upped from 100 to 200 mg./day (recently), my appetite definitely decreased. Good luck!

hi there! i wouldn't get your hopes up about weight loss from wellbutrin, it may help you lose up to 10 lbs initially but i think it all comes back. what happens (i think) is that it causes nauseasness, so you don't feel like eating, but like many other side effects it goes away. what about suggesting one of the stimulant drugs- ritilin, dexedrine....
