Ok I had gained weight because I was so depressed and my doc prescribed me phentermine along with well-butrin. I take them as directed which is once daily ... They both seem to be working because I am down 21 lbs from when I started them. However I wonder if when I try and wean myself away will i gain the weight back? Btw I do workout and I do eat right ... I needed a boost and since i have one I was considering weaning myself away from the meds... Well just the phentermine .....

If you keep doing what you are doing and keep track of your calories there is no reason for you to gain the weight back.0

There's always a price to pay with any meds. Best to just eat less....no mystery here....0

Thanks for the replies and yes I believe I can stick to it and not gain the weight back.....0

You are losing weight and your plan is working. You are developing new habits. You will be fine when you and your doc are ready to go off the meds.0

Was the Wellbutrin prescribed for weight loss or the depression? If just for weight loss I would be rather hesitant about it because could actually worsen depression. Psych meds can sometimes have the opposite effect from what they are intended to do.0

Hey she prescribed the well butrin because I was mainly stressed out and depressed over the summer when my baby girl got hit by a car and I picked up a bad drinking habit which also was the cause of my weight gain ... But the well butrin helped me out a lot I haven't had a drink in a long time .... She did mention it would work great with the combination of phentermine which it really has ...0
