Meezers Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm unsure but I feel Wellbutrin may actually have increased my appetite as well as give me hunger pangs.. I know Wellbutrin can cause an appetite loss for some and not even affect others appetites... I wanted to see if anyone else has expereinced this..? Thanks, Meezers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenndo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 A well known side effect of Wellbutrin is decreased hunger and subsequent weight loss. A less likely side effect of Wellbutrin is the opposite, increasing hunger and causing cravings. Looks like you got the wrong roll of the dice. Sorry...

crtclms Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 How long have you been on it. Side effects often go away in 4-6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse85 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I definitely eat less on Wellbutrin but I haven't lost weight since when I do eat I try to compensate. But I read online that you can gain weight on Welly and also considering that depression (I assume this is why you're taking Wellbutrin) increases the cortisol level in your body which makes you more prone to eating and store fat in your abdomen.
