 I had my anti-depressant changed about a month and a half ago. I was taking effexor and I was sleeping WAY too much and since I started on it I had gained 100 pounds. The doc switched me to Wellbuterin. Well, I found out today that I have already lost TWENTY FIVE pounds since then.  Since the switch, Ive been WAY more active, out walking, hiking, able to go do things with Jeremy ect. My fibro is better, my depression is basically eradicated, Im sleeping well, and I have motivation again. And the more weight I lose, the better I feel. I actually feel like I may find the skinny girl inside of me again!! |

 (((Rainbow))) I am so happy to hear you are feeling better!!! Im sure Jeremy is appreciating the effects of the Wellbutrin as well. As for the weight loss, dont let the pharmaceutical company know!! They may charge you EXTRA. LOL  You should feel proud!! Glad youre feeling better about yourself. Youve come a long way.
