1 Answer

Answer :

I’m afraid that is one no one in our household has taken. We have experience with Zoloft (weight loss), Lexapro (weight gain), and Paxil (neither). According to Drugs.com both change in weight (loss or gain) and sexual side effects are possible with Wellbutrin, so I don’t know where what you read comes from. Good luck with it. Most of these meds take several weeks to work.
