Wellbutrin Xl - Not Losing Weight Anymore?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I'm a 26 year old female taking 450mg once daily. I've been on Wellbutrin for proabably about a year and a half and it helps so much with depression and it helped me lose weight! The pounds were dropping! I also was doing weight watchers but even when I ate horrible I would lose or not gain, at all! Now.... it's not helping me with weight loss? My depression is at bay but it's not helping me keep weight off anymore... has anyone else have this happen? Idk what to do... advice please.

I have been on Wellbutrin for years. In the beginning I lost a bunch of weight, but over the last few months I am continually gaining and nothing is helping. Has anyone experienced this?

That is NOT why generics are different. Generics contain the same active ingredients (including time-release components) but differ in their INACTIVE ingredients such as fillers. Use your brain, Colleen.

Did your pharmacy change which generic you were using? You can call them to find out. Generics have the same molecule but are different due to the time release.

Ahh, memories. I was 26 once and also on 450 mg of Wellbutrin. I lost a TON of weight. I went from 155 to 119 lbs. in 7 months. I'm a 5'9" guy.

Wellbutrin by itself is generally weight neutral and doesn't cause weight gain, or weight loss. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes.

Has anything else changed, such as your diet, or activity levels? Are you on any other medications?

Has anyone else experienced this?
