I started Wellbutrin what seems like forever ago, but truthfully was approximately two weeks ago. For the first day or so, I was "forgetting to eat" but that is not uncommon for me. Now, my appetite is RAVENOUS. I initially was told to give it (ten days by the pharmacist, four weeks by pdoc) before judging it.

While I am relatively stable on my current concoction, I still noticed a deep, internal, kind of desire to cry. It wasn't close enough to ever cry but I was aware of it. Pdoc introduced Wellbutrin, as it is his usual suggestion as a "over the hump" medication. T said she heard lots of good things about it as well. And if it doesn't work, we will try Abilify - but that's more expensive.

I think the Wellbutrin IS helping the internal stuff, as I don't feel it every night, but I DO feel hunger every night instead. Like, I know when I am full and don't overeat, but it isn't long at all before I am SUPER hungry again. Its most noticeable in how sincerely I ingest my meals, lol.

Is this common enough? (I know it generally causes lack of appetite.) Will this pass? Or probably not? Adverse effect?

P.S. I have increased protein, but thats the only other change.
