Is there any one out there that took buproprion and gained weight? Just curious because part of their ad campaign is very los risk of weight gain.
I'm interested in your feedback.

It is interesting to look at Adverse Reactions occurring in Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials in the PDR Information...

In this case, there were two groups - one who took the Wellbutrin and the other who took a placebo (no treatment).

Weight gain occurred in 13.6% of the Wellbutrin patients and 22.7% of the placebo patients (which is probably the evidence supporting the claim in the advertising campaign)

but...

Appetite increase occurred in 3.7% of the Wellbutrin patients and only 2.2% of the placebo patients???
