Has Anyone Experienced A Loss Of Appetite Or The Inability To Eat When They Started On Wellbutrin (Buproprion)?

I've been taking it for about 3 weeks, and in that time I've been experiencing loss of appetite. I have to force myself to eat and if it's not something I like, I gag on it.

Yes I can relate. I have been taking Wellbutrin for quite some time now because it is supposed to not have an impact on weight gain. However if you do not eat and have a poor diet or go without the weight may still come. I am at the maximum dose 300 and 150 and I think I have reached a plateau. I had gastric bypass in 2003 and maintained 100 lbs off, but in total I loss 120 lbs and the 20 I struggle on and off.. my fear is I will continue if I try any other meds but I don't think this works anymore. Now as of 2weeks ago I am out of a doctor/therapist. My APN

I haven't had any problems with taking it. I normaly take it in the morning before eating but sometimes I forget and take it midday.

I take Wellbutrin with my Effexor in the morning before breakfast. I havent had any problems with appetite or anything while on it. If its affecting you that much, definitely talk to your doctor.

Have never taken it but if it is affecting your appetite that badly then I would talk to your doctor again.
