They say wellbutrin is weight neutral or helps lose weight. I tried for a week and it made me look hypomanic at l50mg. Off it then. Phillipa

As Phillipa said Wellbutrin suppresses appetite but i don't think that it will make you sweat less. Considering that it's makes ppl more jittery than efexor, there is a possibility that it will make you more sweaty.

Yeah I agree. Eventhough I took it only for a short period of time and might revisit it in the future. I experienced a small amount of sweating increased agitation, anxiety, insomnia and restlessness in the beginning so my doctor gave me a sedative to take in the beginning phase. He said most people initially feel that way because Wellbutrin contains the same active ingredient as Zyban (used to aid in quitting smoking).

W O W!! Luck them! I have tried to get some where i live, only to became informed that this and other smoking cessation meds are not covered by any insurance companies here. (It is not accepted as anti-depressant)
They only make exceptions for people who suffer for cardio-vascular, respiratory problems and obesity.
Otherwise you have to buy it. The lowest dosage box (which is 30 or 60mg, iirc) costs 72 Euros!.. NO WAY!
