I am wondering if anyone who has taken wellbutrin can tell me the side effects as far as weight gain is concerned. My doctor told me that most people lose weight. I am concerned about gaining weight. Any info?

I do believe that all medications affect everyone differently. What worked for me may not work for someone else.

I had been taking Paxil for about 4 months and gained 15 pounds. I was really upset about this so my doctor switched me to Wellbutrin. He also informed me that people tended to lose weight while taking this. I GAINED 25 MORE POUNDS.

I stopped taking Wellbutrin and went back to my doctor. After some discussion, we decided to try Strattera. It changed my life by helping to focus and LOSE 45 pounds. I was able to focus on my running and Yoga PLUS maintain a healthy/reasonable appetite.

wellbutrin is one of the few medications that is NOT supposed to cause weight gain. but as the person above said, everyone reacts differently.
