In reply to Wellbutrin and diet pills, posted by jbennett on August 16, 2002, at 1:25:43
> I was taking Paxil for about 9 months and gained over 50 pounds. When I finally realized that it had to be the meds, my doctor switched me to Wellbutrin. I want to know if there is anyone out there that has taken a diet supplement while taking Wellbutrin. If so, please fill me in. I just want to take something to help me lose this weight faster. I'm not used to being overweight so I am having a hard time coping.
**I can empathize with not being used to being overweight. I'm petite (around 5'1") and always weighed, at the most, around 110 lbs. I gained 10 lbs. on Serzone and another 20 on Depakote. Talk about devastating! I told a friend, "I've never weighed this much in my life except when I was pregnant!" I'm on Wellbutrin now and starting to lose weight. I recently read an article about a study done (on women) wherein Wellbutrin was used in addition to something like Slim-Fast, I believe it was. The article is here:
