I had tried a couple of meds prior to what I am on now, and did gain weight - that's why I went off them - I didn't need something else to depress me. I'm now on 450 mgWellbutrin, 3200 mgNeurontin, 80 mg Buspar (Xanax for extreme panic attacks, PRN) and haven't gained any weight and this combo had made me a human again feeling like myself so I can work on my issues insead of feeling stoned out on other meds (uch). Besides the med issue, I've always liked to eat more then my share of food to begin with -I'd bake and cook for my husband and self so I have to exercise to maintain, but atleast my weight is steady. That was another reason for the gain in weight on those meds - with the meds increasing my appetite - it I'ddevour half a cake in two days or half a pizza. at one sitting (uch). Now I can focus back on a mindful way of eatting and feel healthy again. I am also careful about what I eat now - organic and only if humaely killed (only a couple of times a week). And fresh salads and veggies. I stay away from sugar and wrong carbs, added chemicals and imitation crap, it also plays a big part in our weight and how we feel.
