I've been on Wellbutrin for a number of years. Didn't need to stop for surgery and still taking. Wellbutrin doesn't usually cause weight gain. I also take Klonopin which worries me that it might interfere with weight loss. But without it, my mood gets unstable.

Hey! I’m on the same (Wellbutrin), ask your doc if they can prescribe the non extended release for you to crush up! My doctor told me not to take that one (normal 150mg extended release pill) & got me 75mg of the regular to crush up & take twice a day. My surgery was Monday & I’ve been taking it since Wednesday.. Hope this helps some [emoji3590]

WEIRD. My doc said 300 Extended release just fine. I had VSG. Apparently extended release not good for bypass.

I've been on Wellbutrin forever and nobody will make me stop. Although I am worried about my ability to swallow pills after my surgery. However, just be an advocate for your mental health! Sometimes it takes a LONG time to trial different medications to see how it will affect your mind and body. But just stick with it. I really hope you feel better soon!

I'm on Lexapro, and although I have had my anxiety and depression under control for several years now, I am hesitant to stop it. So far, I'm losing weight just fine with it.
