Wellbutrin and extreme weight loss

I have been on 300 mg of Wellbutrin XL since March.  It was prescribed because I had severe anxiety/depression.  My anxiety has gotten better but I still feel depressed.  I have lost 15 pounds since March and I don't know if it is the Wellbutrin causing the weight loss or if the Wellbutrin is not working and I losing weight because I am depressed.  I am very skinny and skeletol, the weight loss is becoming an issue- all my co workers and family are mentioning it to me.  Does anyone have any experience with this med.  I tried a few SSRI's but they just made me really tired.

I have the same problem. I'm on Lexepro and Ativan. I went to the doc and weighed in at 111 pounds like a month ago, went back two weeks ago and weighed 108 pounds. (I'm nearly 5'7" mind you so I'm extremely thin and hate it)

Because of all the "effects" of a/p (ie; diarrhea, loss of appetite, nervous energy, etc) I seem to have been losing weight and people are noticing too.

But the anxiety disorder is hard on people. It's been hard on me, and I'm trying to gain the weight back but I get physically sick when I get anxious/panicy.

Apparently Lexepro's side effect is weight gain, so we'll see, and hopefully I can pick up an extra 10 pounds.

Try eating lots of Italian food and breads and lots of carbs and load your diet with calories. That's what I'm doing and I'm starting to gain some of the weight back. (like a pound lol but I'm trying!)

If the Wellbutrin isn't helping, maybe you could ask your doc about Lexepro to gain weight? I mean, Lexepro is for A/P as well as depression too.

Just a thought.
