I have been on Wellbutrin for a couple years now and at first it made me extremely hungry! I did gain weight on it, although many people say they lose weight.

I am not happy with this gain as I am tall and was always happy with my height and weight (slim). I exercise strenuously, aerobics and weight training but still do not lose weight; I am sure the wellbutrin is contributing to it.

I see many above posters have lost/not gained on Effexor; I may ask my pdoc if I can try that..........as I cannot tolerate weight gain myself but this is just ME. Some people would rather have a few extra pounds if the med is helping their depression. In my case I get more depressed if I gain weight.
