I am on Wellbutrin..450mg/day. It has been a life saver for me. Once my body got used to it, I have had no side effects (as long as I take it with food). I lost weight initially just because it upset my stomach so much I could not eat. Once that leveled out, I have found it to be weight neutral for me. I have not gone off wellbutrin yet but have not heard that there are withdrawal problems. Nothing can be as bad as withdrawal from Effexor.
I was very nervous starting Atkins because I did it before, unmedicated, and did well. I am on lithium also and it says right in the book that people often have a hard time losing weight on that.
I wish I was losing weight faster but try to remind myself to be happy I am losing weight at all.
Anyhoo..don't know if there is anyone out there who struggles with depression or maybe bipolar disorder but if there is, I would be happy to talk anytime.
