In reply to sugar cravings on wellbutrin, posted by Slinky on February 2, 2004, at 1:20:23
On just 100 mg./Wellbutrin SR per day I got carb/sugar cravings too--this is what I surmise happened:
I have seasonal affective depression & for that SSRI's are supposed to be the most effective I guess. I got switched from Zoloft to Wellbutrin early on last fall (I had requested the WB because of weight concerns) & it proved to be a bad move. I really needed serotonin!! I fell into a deep depression & got back on Lexapro in combo w/the WB this past winter. It's working well (knock on wood!) and my carb cravings have been curbed because often w/S.A.D. you get bad carb cravings...I think it's actually a symptom!! Maybe you need an SSRI to augment the WB??
Best to you!
