I am wondering if anyone here is on Wellbutrin and have the noticed more weight loss with this medicine? I am on latuda, Paxil, and depakote all which cause weight. I am stuck in the 170's despite working out and eat good. I am frustrated and want some guidance from others who are on mental health drugs.

I'm on Wellbutrin and have never experienced weight loss on it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. :( Maybe your doctor knows of some medications that help with weight loss?

My dr says it will help with weight loss but I've been on it for 3 years and it hasn't. However I was just sleeved last week so idk how it will work now.

I tried it a few years ago, hoping to lift my mood and maybe lose a few pounds. All it did was make me really angry. 👿

I have been on Wellbutrin for 3+ years. The first 6 weeks it caused nausea and I had problems eating. After I got used to it, I think it has caused weight gain. The only one that caused me to lose weight is Cymbalta. I am still pre-op though (surgery 4/17), I don't know what the effects will be after.

Following. I took Wellbutrin shortly during a rough patch, but I can't say how it worked. I have had a Sleeve and am SO obessed with food and depressed in general, that I need some help.

I want to go into a Dr. with a plan already, not sure if my bari doctor is the best person for psy meds.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
