I took Wellbutrin several times in the past 5 years on and off. I was on it once for 2 years and it never ever made me lose a pound. I just got off Wellbutrin 2 weeks ago and it did nothing for me weight wise. They used to say Prozac made people lose weight and I didn't. Also, Topamax is suppose to help lose weight. Been on that, no weight loss. Maybe I am just one of the unlucky ones with meds. I was on Phentermine a weight loss med and it did nothing for me either...made me more hungry.


The Adderall I am on now helps with my appetite some, but not all the time.


I hope these meds help others lose weight.

I have been on Wellutrin & Paxil since atleast 2001, I have not lost a pound. I am still on both of them along w/ Carbatrol now. I have not lost a pound myself. Matter of fact in about the past 8 years I have gained 70+ pounds.


Good Luck
