I am starting my third week on Wellbutrin and since I increased to 200mg last week, I also gained 2 pounds, and like you, I too, found this confusing. The first weeks didn't cause any weight loss or increase.
I saw my doctor today and he gave me another prescription to take with my Wellbutrin since I have weight issues (I went from 158 to 189 between March and October). Also, he said it will help with my moods as just two nights ago, even under Wellbutrin, I had an AWFUL anxiety/depression episode where I was alone and ended up yelling/screaming and putting a hole in my wall because my neighbors noise annoyed me.
This saturday I will try taking the Topomax 25mg with my Wellbutrin.
I hate meds and these are my first prescriptions in years. (tried Paxil once years ago for two months) My ADD has been acting out during my times of extreme life changes and my doctor said I am exhibiting signs of bipolar II as well. This is to help me through the changes and I can't wait to get off of them.
ANyone else here ever take Topomax to help level the moods and reduce weight while on Wellbutrin?
