In a month. I'm swelling up hands, legs and feet since starting the medication. I have kidney disease. Has anyone else experienced swelling?
Obesity - Very fustrated. I've been on bupropion to help with weightloss and I've gained 10lbs.

Hi, ninja!
Unfortunately, about 10% of users will experience weight gain while 10% or less will experience edema. The edema could account for some of the weight gain.
Are you taking any other medications that might be causing these side effects?
If you haven't already you should let your doctor know where you stand and get their professional advice.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Yes I guess I'm in that percentage. I take a lot of medication for my heart and kidneys. One of my medications is furosemide. So it's best I discontinue this medication. Will power and hard work for me. Thank you
