I had very little appetite on the immediate release and my appetite is about normal on the SR. I'm on to the XL next week. I would say it's a weight neutral to loss med.

I gained weight on Wellbutrin SR. Then again, I gained weight on just about every new drug they put me on. Lost 20 lbs when I weaned myself off all the drugs.

I've been on Wellbutrin SR since November and have not gained any weight (like I did on Effexor).
Infact, I have nearly lost all but .4 of the 20 pounds I gained while taking the Effexor with diet and exercise.
While on Effexor I couldn't deal with any of that stuff.
It also has done wonders for my depression.
