All I want to do today is eat. I don't know why, but I'm thinking it could be the new antidepressant I am taking...I started Wellbutrin/Bupropion about 6 days ago. Anyone else experience this?

I experienced it when I started taking Abilify. I gained about 15 pounds in a short period of time and finally had to come off it.

Wellbutrin is suppose to make you NOT hungry. It's actually used by quite a few doctors as an antidepressant/appetite suppressor.

Different people react to different meds differently, though. Even if many people experience decreased appetite on Wellbutriin, some will have no change in appetite and others will have an increase in appetite. It's like some people get hyped up on sleeping pills and have even more trouble sleeping.

How long ago did you start taking it? It takes a while for those sorts of effects to set in, doesn't it? A week or so?

At any rate it's been years since I even looked at an anti-depressant so don't mind what I say.

Ugh, I'm jealous Nik. Wish I didn't have to take them but that all changed when my baby boy died. Anyway...Ive been taking if for 6 days now. Teresa, now that you say that, I recall my dr saying it would make me not really crave foods. Hmm, maybe it's some emotional eating creeping up on me, subconsciously after having such a ****ty day yesterday. Kelly, good thing you got off of the abilify if it made you gain that. It's got to be hard, especially when you are trying to maintain. Thanks ladies.

I can't think of anything more tragic than losing a child. My condolences to you and your family, and I hope, in the end, you can manage to find some peace.

Oh please don't take my statement to mean I'm any better off than you! I still suffer from depression but I had a bad reaction to anti-depressants (they threw my hormones out of whack and almost drove me to irreparable damage) so I manage as best I can without them.

Mostly by bugging the holy hell out of all of you :)

I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I don't know if your hunger is head or medically induced, but I do know that it's good that you are questioning things. In depression especially don't take anything at face value. Depression is much like addiction, it can give you messages that aren't true and you act on them and things just seem to get worse.

I hope you'll post often and talk things out. Hugs!

You must be a damn strong woman. I wouldn't be able to function at all without my antidepressants. I hate being dependent on them, but it's in the best interest of everyone I come across, lol. Thanks!
