Hi and welcome too! I have noticed a remarkable difference in appetite on this combo. You were correct, that is exactly my med dose. I actually know when it's time to stop. Sometimes I even forget to eat. My doc said the Wellbutrin brings me "up" while the Serzone "calms" me down. I don't have extreme mood swings anymore. Sometimes I do feel apathetic though, and that's not always a good thing...like you don't feel anything when you should be somewhat bothered. Even so, I like the way it "evens" out my mood. I really do believe that there is a connection between overeating/being overweight and one's brain chemistry. Science is still examining that, but I really have experienced it and know they are connected. Cravings are induced by a lack of dopamine, seratonin, and norepinephrine somehow. You may correct me if you think I'm wrong. All I know is that I have more money in my wallet from not buying chocolate and junk food, and can finally wear my old jeans again!
