    You have to eat less.

    Wellbutrin helps curb my appetite. Not everyone gets that effect but it is pretty common. But it may not be an appropriate medicine for you.

    All medications wether antidepressant or antiphysotics will affect everyone differently. So no one can say this med will do this or that wether it be taking care of the depression, creating specific food cravings and so forth. For me the lower I was able to go on my medications the less side affects I had. Also as I regained my coping skills and began being able to start lossing weight the better my meds worked and the dosages got lowered. Therapy was also great for me and helped me address some issues and learn healthier coping skills rather than being over medicated with food being my escape.
