Re: Weight Loss, Sex on Wellbutrin

In reply to Weight Loss, Sex on Wellbutrin, posted by MHK on March 23, 2000, at 14:28:48

megs-- i lost about 5 pounds in 10 days when i started the wellbutrin, because like heidi, i was satisfied once i wasn't hungry anymore. it was nice, especially because i really hate gaining weight and when i get depressed i'll gain about 20 pounds in two weeks without changing either my activity level or my diet (which certainly doesn't help my depression any!). as for the sex drive, i found that mine went down dramatically. maybe it's true what they say about the connection between eating and sex. :)

hope this helps!
p.s. i'm 5'4 and about 125 lbs, and it's generally hard for me to lose weight.

> Also, after about a month on the Wellbutrin, I climaxed twice in one night with my husband. Not a big deal for some, but considering that I've had an orgasm with a partner only about 10 times in 15 years, it was a banner evening. (My husband was giddy for days!) I can only presume that the drug had something to do with it.
