How long did it take to gain the weight on those meds? Was it because you craved carbs? I hope you don't mind my asking.
Wellbutrin is known to be activating so take your dose in the morning and see how it goes.
Remeron knocked me out cold. I couldn't do anything but sleep. I couldn't get past the sedation and had to stop it. I gained weight on it because I couldn't be active.

> I have been taking Lexapro and Remeron for anxiety/depression and to help ne sleep. They have been working GREAT but man, let me tell you.. I went from a size 7 to a size 13 (130lbs-185lbs). Is that ridicoulous or what? So my doc said "Would you like to try Wellbutrin" and I said sure.... I really hope that it helps me lose weight but also helps me depression. However, I already have a hell of a time sleeping, is Wellbutrin going to make it worse? I also have problems with stress and anxiety, will Wellbutrin make that worse too? My doc gave me 150mg SR... I am going to start on Saturday and only take 75mg to start. Any advice would be great (:
