I took 300mg a day for neuropathic pain before I started Atkins. It didn't help me lose weight--in fact that is when I gained about 70 pounds. I was weaned off it, but I don't remember having any withdrawals. My body can handle massive loads of drugs, though. I have been on as much as 17 prescriptions at a time, 32 pills a day, heavy duty stuff, so don't go by my lack of withdrawals. At any rate, you would have to be weaned. I went on Cymbalta after the Wellbutrin, and it has done me more good than any other drug, and my body hasn't acclimated to it so I have to keep increasing the dose or switch drugs like I used to.

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.  |

I just found this thread, and I was just started on Wellbutrin today... i also already take Topamax, and have depression and am bipolar. I don't know if this will lead to weight loss but i will definately let you ladies know. I was started on a very very very low dose since i am very sensitive to medication. I am on 75mg a day for 2 weeks to see how i react before my Therapist increased the appropriate dosage. I will be weighing myself tomorrow and keeping track. however i think the dosage is so low that it won't cause weight loss.

has anyone had suicidal thoughs with this drug? I am bi polar and since finding out my boyfriend of 3 years has been cheating on me this has sent me in a downward spiral since the last year that i can't get out. So bad i was having thoughts of just disapearing that my therapist but me on welbutrin, but now i am finding myself down in the shower where we have a gym at my work breaking down. I don't know if it is the medication or just that i am getting worse.

I would call and talk to your dr. I haven't felt suicidal while on wellbutrin really. It might be more situational for you. You haven't been on wellbutrin long and you said it was a low dose (which is how I started also). I would just be honest with your dr...so you can get some answers. Sorry about what you are going through. We are here for you...please let us know how you are doing and what the dr has to say. Take care...  Jane |

I seem to be getting better, no more break downs in the shower at work.
