I'm a newbie and haven't had surgery and just started my classes I'm trying to figure out why my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin and when I asked it wasn't clear ... I don't smoke and I don't struggle with depression so in curious if any vets out there went through this too ?

I take it for depression so I wouldn't know any other reason.

Well I was also prescribed Wellbutrin. It was for depression but apparently it helps with weight loss too. I stopped taking it after 1 month as I constantly had headaches as a side effect

It helps you lose weight and can also help with compulsive behaviors

It can help with weight loss... Maybe that is it. Personally I wouldn't accept the Rx unless the doctor told me why they were prescribing it.

I have taken it for a couple of years for my focus issues...i really like it but it never really helped me with weight loss. Good luck on your journey!!

He mentioned it was going to aid in weight loss cause you're supposed to loose 10% whoever I'm also very confused because anybody else I talk to says they have never been prescribed that to help aid with their weight loss in the beginning stages

It helps curve your hunger. ..I had it but than they had to give me something else to help balance my moodiness
