Even though you may experience weight loss on Wellbutrin, this medication is not specifically designed for losing weight. 8 However, if you are taking (or plan to take) an anti-depressant and worry about possible weight gain, it is important to note that Wellbutriin is less likely to cause weight gain than many other anti-depressants.If Wellbutrin is going to work for you, studies indicate that you will probably lose about 2-10% of your initial body weight (4). That means if you are 200 pounds the best case scenario is that Wellbutrin helps you lose 20 pounds.
If you are only 150 pounds, it’s possible that Wellbutrin may only help you lose a couple of pounds.Wellbutrin is a prescription antidepressant. Although it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss, some people believe that Wellbutrin may help you to lose weight. Educating yourself about weight loss and Wellbutrin will enable you to determine if Wellbutrin is likely to aid in your weight loss.
Some effects are felt almost immediately whereas other can take 4-6 weeks to become apparent (the time frame for the medication to reach therapeutic level/maximum effectiveness) The weight loss/appetite reduction effect of Wellbutrin doesn’t occur at all in some people. The time frame for effects/benefits to become apparent are also based on the physiology/metabolism of the individual.You can Lose Weight With Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is successful for weight reduction, up to two significant criteria are met. You must be an) overweight or large and You should be a non-smoker.
Wellbutrin is effective for weight loss, as long as two important criteria are met. You have to be a) overweight or obese and b) you must be a non-smoker. While Wellbutrin use for weight loss is promising, ALL studies show that it is more effective if it is complimented with a healthy diet and exercise.As a side effect Wellbutrin can cause weight loss and a decrease in appetite.
However as you said that your body can adjust to the drug hence you may get these side effects.This is opposed to 18.7% gaining weight on Effexor and the bright light for some folks would be that 6.9% of Wellbutrin users LOST weight. There is no antidepressant/anti-psychotic that will not cause weight gain in certain susceptible users. Otherwise we’d all be taking it.
Wellbutrin XL (bupropion): “I used Wellbutrin XL for two years, and in conjunction with sensible eating and a walking regimen, lost 75 pounds. I believe the Wellbutrin gave me the motivation to stick with the eating and exercise plan. It may have also provided a pharmacological effect.
Quick background: Wellbutrin XL 300 mg 2005-summer 2014. Boosted to 450 mg summer 2014-May 2017. May 2017 began taper. August 11, 2017 took last dose! My question for the group is regarding withdrawal weight gain.
I have always been very thin with no difficulty controlling my weight, a healthy diet and pretty aggressive workout routine.I’d say No, you won’t definitely lose weight. Wellbutrin is speedy for some people but not so to others. Even if it has speedy effect on you it won’t stop you from eating. If you wanted to lose weight Wellbutrin can make it easier to stay on a diet, sometimes.
I would cut back on carbs. Eat a lot of protein, not too much though. And eat a lot of vegetables.
That has helped me. I am cooking a cauliflower today. I wish you the best. Keep a positive attitude. Whenever I took wellbutrin, I lost weight, I took it twice.
The placebo group lost 5% of initial body weight while subjects who received Wellbutrin 300 or 400 mg/day lost 7.2% and 10.1% respectively. In addition, participants who were monitored for 48 weeks successfully maintained mean losses of initial body weight of 7.5% and 8.6% for 300 and 400 mg/day respectively.During chat with his doctor I found out Wellbutrin is successful with weight loss with his patients.
I couldn’t find the reason why Wellbutrin cause weight loss, if I know almost every other drug he has been using caused weight gain. Then one doctor told me Wellbutrin is normally used with kids, without any special side effects.Weight gain ranged between 15 and 40 pounds for those on antidepressants and between 75 and 125 pounds for those on mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotic drugs.

Have you noticed bigger and longer orgasms while taking this medication?
Layman’s terms.
Regulating mood with Wellbutrin will reduce appetite, and cause weight loss yet food will taste better which can cause weight gain.
Randomly stumbled on this channel and I find you super relatable! I’m also a CJ major:)
No you aren’t being dramatic. I experienced heartbroken when my father past. We were very close and i realized that I’d never be the same. Main reason why I’m in therapy and I’m also taking wellbutrin. I wasn’t sleeping so im taking Trazodone too. I digress. U look great stay strong and I really appreciate ur honesty. I subscribed right away.
I wish this was something I could understand. I am soooo lost
Hey girl, I have had different meds make me dizzy. You would think yours would be better by now…hope relief comes soon. I can relate to the sleep problems…�� Since my accidents, my sleeping is sooo crazy! I hope that gets better soon, too. hugs
heartbreak is sadly an amazing diet right? I lost 20 in two weeks
i havethe same dizzyness but only when i stare at my phone at night time..so it maybe related to staring too long or maybe staring into a light too long
Dude your transformation is amazing, keep up the good work! Also I’m so sorry you had to go through a rough time �� keep your head up
Wow. I am going to have to watch this several times to get this.
Now reports are saying anticholinergic antidepressants increase the likelihood of Alzheimer’s, Wellbutrin is one of them. Over 10 years, I was on Wellbutrin, and amyloid white plaques were seen on a MRI, of my brain.��I went off of it for years. I’m back on Wellbutrin and worried about the long term affects to my brain.. I was underweight on it, but when I stopped taking it I became obese. 100 pound increase. Now, back on it, In two weeks I’ve lost 5 lbs. FYI: name brand makes a huge difference for me. Generic XL is weak. I’m now on brand 100mg SR twice daily. If I don’t wean off of it, I’ll go back up to my previous daily dose of 300 mg XL. I’m not sure it’s worth the risk of dementia ��
I just started Wellbutrin and I’ve been on it for a little over 2 weeks now and everything you said is just about how I’m feeling so far too plus your too funny
Two weeks into bupropion, I definitely see a difference. I no longer binge eat and my portion sizes are smaller. Do you think this will continue or does the longer you stay on this drug this feeling is likely to go away?
So, was it the Wellbutrin you started taking that helped you to lose all the weight?
How do you drink caffeine with Wellbutrin? I’m so jealous, I have terrible side effects mixing the two.:/
I’m on day 20 and I’m not noticing anything other than I seem to be really agitated
So dose Bupropion sr 150mg makes u loss wait can someone tell me
I want a work out routine! I can’t like this video enough. I have been dealing w exactly the same things rn and this felt like a sign I needed. Thank you!
I’m starting my medication today. You da best. Orange chicken is fried chicken sis��
So glad you posted this video I need help losing weight. I actually have a drs appointment next week on Thursday I’m gonna ask her how to lose weight because I’m excercising and it’s so stressful because I eat so much especially when I’m sad and depressed I eat and eating is how I cope when I have a problem… great video though!
Wow I thought you explained it really clearly. You can’t help it if people can’t think and listen. This made a lot of sense to me.
I am literally going through this right now. My boyfriend dumped me two weeks ago and the heartbreak made me unable to eat at all. I’ve lost so much weight and I’ve really been trying to eat, but I just can’t stomach more than maybe one meal a day, if that. I also work out because it’s the only thing that helps my stress and makes me somewhat tired so I can try to sleep, but sleep hasn’t been good either. Thank you for posting this video, I needed to see this right now. Transferring to Sam Houston this Fall, majoring in Criminal Justice, so at least I have that to look forward to.:)
If you get a chance stop on by my blog. Looking for opportunities to connect and discuss topics and remedies for anxiety and depression. Thank you

Today is day 9 of taking Bupropion SR for me. They started me on 100mg for the first 7 days and now I’ve been on 150mg for 3 days. When I started the 100mg everything was great, I felt amazing and barely any side effects. Now that I’m taking a higher dosage I feel my heartbeat and feel like it’s irregular or just different. I have had a bit of insomnia but melatonin normally helps me with that and I’ve been having some headaches. Also, I will cry at things so easily and for no reason really, but then shortly after I’m totally fine.
Thank you so much for your update, it made me want to try and push through the side effects because I think this medication will really help me once my body gets used to it. <3
I totally get the dry mouth thing. Does that to me too. I’m also crying every day at random about the cute bunny rabbit I saw the yard and how sweet it is all the way to is this really all there is to life kind of thing. I’m just at two months on this medication and if this is how it’s going to be I can’t take it. This is so awful I feel like I’m not even functional
These things take time Cassy, but as always you do things at your own pace when you’re ready…take care��������
If your anxiety is less, is your happiness less, more, or the same?
i started taking it 7 days ago dizziness and slight nausea was my side effects i’ve just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder i haven’t taken anything for depression since high school so this is almost new to me i’m not gonna lie i feel great now i guess the wellbutrin had to get in my system good luck
It’s so crazy how the body works I have been through the exact same thing as you have with the break up and make up and break up and make up in I finally still broken up but during the break ups I would lose a lot of weight. And food would disgusts me. So yeah I agree with you when you break up with someone else like mourning of a loved one dying
I had to stop mid-video cause I was crying when you mention how your heartbreak made you felt & how it did to you. I’ve been there a few times with ex’s or just a guy I was only “talking” too but never gonna potentially be in an actual relationship with… My way of coping is bad. As you said with loss of appetite. If I had food in front of me, I’d push it away & start crying my eyes out. Even if I was hungry, I wouldn’t eat cause I was that upset, hurt and angry. I’ve put myself down so many times due to failed relationships that didn’t work out. There’s so much… /: I’m crying while writing this cause I’m trying to get over someone I never even dated.
Get to the point man no need to try and sound so smart with all the big words l know what they all mean its easy.
Let me answer the question for everyone instead of dragging it out.
Yes bupropion can cause weight loss. It can give you less hunger so you eat less there for you lose weight.
See how easy that was.
I took Wellbutrin for 2 years stopped during pregnancy. Afterward i tried getting back on it and had a really bad seizure out of no where. This may not have been what caused it but after the seizure, once the EKG was complete the doctor said Wellbutrin/ bupropion extremely lowers the seizure threshold making it very possible to have one. Scariest moment of my life and a painful few days following.
This made me feel better. Just started 150mg a week ago and I’m feeling emotional and anxious. I am hoping to have a success story like yours.
What’s up with the horrible warnings about getting seizures and I don’t like that you can’t have a glass of wine on this too scary
I love the help but you killed me on the dry mouth running on an on.
Thanks for the video I’m about to start taking 200 mg of wellbutrin and I wanted to hear other people’s experiences. Jah Bless
Great videos! Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve read so much about the generic versions. Some say they’re the same others say they feel the difference whenever the pharmacy changes their generic manufacturer. I’m curious if you’ve noticed the difference? Does the pharmacy change the manufacturer every time you pick it up? Thanks! I’m thinking of starting but I am worried about that a little.
let’s get married. Your words are magic and I love how you think. Smart guys are the hottest. ��
Great page
Helped me out a lot to help understands stages of this.

Anyone interested I have my 1 week bupropion update.
1 important thing I learned that someone told me is to eat When you’re hungry and if you’re not hungry don’t eat.
I’m a very emotional person and it effects all of my relationships because I’m very blunt about my feelings and overly emotional it’s not that I don’t like it but I want it to tone down some because I want to feel peace, my anxiety is also out of this world I start this soon I hope it helps me feel more motivated and happy like it did for you!
✋ Do you have other questions? Insert a comment here, for example:
“QUESTION: In 40 years, what will people be nostalgic for?”
My partner ended our happy relationship after 3 months off of this medication. He went from being rational and understanding to impatient and anxious and ended our relationship over things that were small. when i pointed out that stopping the meds may have affected his mood he was dismissive. Thankfully he has started involving his doctor and talking to a therapist. It was a mistake to stop this medication without therapy to go with it to ensure that stopping meds wouldn’t have a negative impact
25 lbs in 1 month! That’s crazy fast. I have been on wellbutrin for 2 and a half months and lost 20 lbs. It definitely curbs your appetite
Omg adderall is the best plus you will be losing much more weight with adderall
Eating veggies and fruit instead of processed synthetic pharma laced snacks can also assist in weight loss. Get off the drugs bro! Itisn’t good for you! You talk about getting addicted to junk food? What about to an ADDICTING, toxic drug like Bupropion? Lol, give me a break. That shit is poison, along with all the pharma pills they sell you for profits. Get off that shit and live a longer, healthier life!
I took that medicine before and it worked for quite some time. Then they came out with Lexapro so we switched me to it and I love it. I am so glad you are starting to feel the effects of it but it does take about a month to be fully in your system and working. Night terror and vivid dreams are definitely a side effect. Hang in there. Soon you won’t feel anything (like me) and it will be great. Don’t sweat the small things and the things you can’t change. Just go with flow. Love you sister!
Does it cause you to have hairloss? These were the only meds that help with my depression but after starting them I started having a lot of hairloss. It was horrible. But since I did take a birth control pill around the same time for 2 weeks I don’t know which was the trigger.
Hey there, just to let you know if you have a CDL the Adderall with show up as a positive drug test, I drive semi trucks and have a CDL and they told me it’s a no no, I took Adderall in college and it was a amazing but after years on it, it lost it’s effect
Thanks Samantha! I started with 300mg yesterday after 6 months of 150mg. We’ll see! Your videos help a lot! ��������

I tried Wellbutrin for adhd but had severe dry mouth ��. How do I get over the side effects??
Hi I am on my third day of taking Bupropion HCL SR and it seems to be working fast as far as a decrease in my appetite and I don’t feel as moody. So maybe it is too early to for me to feel the affects, but today I did not eat much and it was my turn to cook dinner, all I had was small samples of what I cooked. So I will monitor for a month and see how this goes, on Monday when I saw my doctor I was 224 and my doctor was concerned. Yes I was eating like there was no tomorrow. Now I just feel so funny taking less trips to the fridge.
do you or anyone drink any alcohol while taking this medication? if so do you take it as normal or skip it for the day? how does that work?
I like your video, but please don’t put music in the other one.
Great video
Helped me out a lot to help understands stages of this.
Anyone interested I have my 1 week bupropion update. https://youtu.be/MglRuisG4Yk
i’m going to be starting this medication within the next few days, i’ve been on zoloft, prozac, and lexapro and all of them ended in a bad note, my body was just feeling weird and i had panic attacks that were so bad i wound up in the hospital. i’ve been recommended to take this, and i’ve done a lot of researching, and the positive effects are everything i lack on a day to day basis which is beneficial. i’m lowkey excited to start wellbutrin, on the other hand i’m not going to get my hopes up because there’s a good chance it won’t work. this cider helped a lot!
Im on buproprion and ive researched it. look it up, tons of people on buproprion gain tons of weight, and fast on this drug. people gain 40, 50, 60 and more pounds on this drug. dont believe everything you hear on the internet. check out some reviews of people who have actually been on this drug.
Love this video… you went straight to the point, thank you!
