> Thank you for the explanation. How then, does it suppress appetite?To tell you the truth, I dunno; or more precisely, Wellbutrin probably doesn't really cause appetite suppression. It probably has more to do with not interacting with serotonin or histamine receptors. Some people do gain weight when taking Wellbutrin, but not as many as is seen with most SSRIs or TCAs. I think that it just doesn't promote weight gain, rather than curbing appetite or causing weight loss.
> And, is there anything I can do (besides exercise- I'm saving this as a last resort).Exercise, even more than eating properly should be a first resort (sorry). Pills and diets are never as effective as exercise is in maintaining health.
