I hope it's okay that I posted this in both the depression forum and here.
Hey guys it's been a loooong time! Anyways, I'm about to turn 24 and have dealt with depression and anxiety since I was (at least) 19. I only took medication(Zoloft) for a few days when I was younger and refused to take medication again.
Well 5 years and one pregnancy later I have gained an insane amount of weight. I always knew it was linked to my anxiety and depression but I've never considered professional help until now.
The last year my depression has taken a turn for the worse. That alone made me seek out the advice of my doctor, but the fact that I lost 50lbs last year and quickly gained 60 back when my depression worsened was certainly a factor. The doctor recommends Welbutrin as the first anti depressant due to the nature of my depression, my strong negative reaction to Zoloft, and my weight issues. I don't have a specific question but I just wanted to see what others experiences have been with Wellbutrin
