Hey everyone, I'm currently taking Clonazepam and Buproprion, just wondering if anyone else taking either or both of these
meds have experienced and weigh loss or gain?

    i think this is a pretty common side effect as with all alpha blockers/benzos. i took it recreationally and gained weight as did my friend's.

    from live strong :

    "Metabolism is the process by which your body breaks down carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy that can be utilized by your body. Klonopin may slow metabolic processes that convert food into energy. If you are taking Klonopin, you may experience weight gain. Consult your doctor if you experience excess weight gain while taking Klonopin."
