I've been on Wellbutrin for several years now. I haven't gained any weight and a matter of fact I have actually lost some weight. Now my weight loss could have been from other medications to but my pdoc said that the wellbutrin most likely helped with that. Wellbutrin has helped me out a lot in decreasing my depression. People take medication for different reasons and they react to it completely different. So in my opinion I would give it a try...but that's because it has done so well with me....so good luck in what ever you decide.
