My pdoc prescribed wellbutrin 75mg for depression and I am titrating up in dose. Doing okay, in fact seems as though my mood is a bit brighter. However, I am noticing that my appetite is increased instead of decreased and I am a bit puzzled. I work out and am not overweight, but soon will be I feel. Is it a metabolic thing, weight gain from A/D's?

My weight (figure) is the only thing I liked about myself - I am tall and was always quite thin, skinny until my 30's. Now I am more average but hate the feeling of gaining weight and I've heard that if it's due to an a/d, no amount of exercise or dieting will really help. I fear that depression about weight gain will stop me from taking this drug if it continues to make me gain. : (

Has anyone experienced weight gain on bupropion? Otherwise I feel it is a good drug for me for my depression. (Only been on it 1 1/2 weeks).
