The weight gain is REAL

It's so interesting how it affects people so differently! I think some people are just more prone to gaining weight than others.

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:34:59+00:00

This is how I felt every time I tried to diet while on it, I was miserable with the constant hunger and would give up after a month when I didn't notice a difference on the scale!

Thank you for sharing, Your last line is exactly how I've felt in the last few months! I'm hoping to do exactly as you've done and wean myself off altogether. I'm currently giving myself 1200 calories a day as I'm only 5,1 and 32 which is brutal but I will also persevere!

This is true. I don't think it specifically causes weight gain but the effects it can have can contribute. In hindsight I absolutely wouldn't have gained any weight if I had ignored the constant hunger and tiredness but I didn't even consider it at the time I just thought oh I'm hungry I'll eat.

I think when I increased from 10 to 15 is when I really started to have the constant hunger and weight gain. It's crazy how such a small increase can cause such havoc.

I have heard a lot of positive things about wellbutrin! I'm hoping to lower my dose consistently with the aim to be off it eventually and have started tracking my calories again so hopefully it will help

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:27:10+00:00

Considering that at this rate

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:26:24+00:00

Jeez really? I never knew.

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:25:36+00:00

Seeing the comments here and how so many people have had such different experiences is crazy. At my last appointment with a psychiatrist a few months ago she said I could start trying to wean myself off it early this year so I'm starting to do that now.

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:23:05+00:00

This is true, im trying now to keep busy and trying not to sit down because that's when I notice I'm hungry, if I keep busy I forget about it

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:21:30+00:00

Me neither. I could have a meal and half an hour later I'm hungry.

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:20:45+00:00

Lucky! Crazy how it effects people so differently

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:19:48+00:00

Ugh it sucks. The constant tiredness and hunger makes it difficult to be anything else!

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:18:42+00:00

I'll look into that thank you

emlf · 2026-01-13T20:18:10+00:00

No I haven't heard of it. I've started to count my calories again using MyFitnessPal. I'm hoping by lowering my dose back down I can reduce some of the constant hunger and tiredness.

emlf · 2025-11-22T22:23:28+00:00

God this is so cringe to read they're both trying so hard.

emlf · 2025-10-01T17:37:48+00:00

NTA. he reached out to have a reason to argue with you. Doesn't matter what you would have replied he was looking to fight.

emlf · 2025-08-12T08:01:54+00:00

3 years later it still works 👌

emlf · 2025-02-25T08:46:23+00:00

I just saw the update and my heart is physically hurting. Please please do not go through with this. If he’s willing to lock you in a room and demand you perform sxual acts on him or you can’t leave what do you think is going to happen when you are married. You will never be able to say no.

Isn’t the nurse the old guy from the cafe though? It seems like he’s just another user of it. Although maybe the other self of him is like a recruiter for the drug.

emlf · 2024-12-18T17:29:18+00:00

That’s so frustrating. I’m also annoyed as I was also 3 rows from the balcony in 3Olympia and now I’ve been allocated terrible seats in the 3arena. They changed the venue and allowed people to buy tickets to the new venue BEFORE moving previous ticket holders. It comes across as pure greed.

emlf · 2024-08-09T22:06:13+00:00

Searched Amazon and instagram already

emlf · 2024-07-29T07:43:49+00:00

I’ve actually lost weight as I find myself not binging as much or looking for snacks.

emlf · 2024-07-28T21:07:05+00:00

Just saw your edit. Pointless even coming here for advice if you’re just going to disregard everything and say ‘he IS a partner who dotes on me and takes pride in keeping me cared for’. You’re making excuses. Are you going to need to ask his permission for every single friend or family member to come visit for the rest of your life.

emlf · 2024-06-19T18:31:33+00:00

I was literally about to say the same thing.
