So it appears I'm going to be sticking with Wellbutrin and came across an article describing it the "the happy, horny, skinny pill." I was wondering if anyone had any significant weight loss on it and does it really increase your libidos? I have definetly had an elevated mood when used in conjunction with cymbalta.

No weight loss. But it does help my depression. However it only keeps me "ok" most of the time as opposed to really happy. Definitely no increased libido.

I've noticed more energy. And because of that I don't eat/crave as much junk food. Because of the increase in energy, I might actually start walking regularly as advised. So that's a start...

I did lose weight, but I assume that using Wellbutrin was correlated rather than causal. My depression lifted, which meant that I stopped eating entire loaves of french bread on a daily basis and took up biking again. I didn't notice a significant change in libido.

I love the Wellbutrin for how well it keeps the depression at bay, but I didn't get any of the benefits that you are asking about.

At first *PROZAC* made me horny and happy, but now I'm just okay. I'd love to switch ADs (and might have to). Gee, I wonder if I should ask for Wellbutrin?

I've lost weight since I've been on Wellbutrin, but I don't think it's because of the meds. At first it was working well for my depression. Lately, not so much. Definitely no change in my libido.

On 450mg a day and I only wish it helped with weight and libido. It does help my depression greatly though. It was also suppose to help you quit smoking, no help there either.

On Wellbutrin... At first it was the happy horny skinny pill but then I leveled off like I do with most meds. About a month or two in that all stopped.
