In reply to Wellbutrin and Phentermine (Fastin), posted by Patricia on September 20, 1999, at 6:05:02
I'm on Wellbutrin SR, 300 mg/day. Since starting it, I have lost 23 lbs, it just made me not want to nosh so much on treats and tidbits, and I ate fewer meals & smaller portions. And it gave me more energy than I've had in a long time, so I could exercise...
Since it's the same medicine as the drug to keep you from smoking (Zyban? it's called?), you can see how it might keep one from obsessing about food as well.
What I'm saying is, you might try the Wellbutrin for a while by itself, it might do the trick all on its own.
Good luck, ok?

> Can these two drugs safely be taken together. I seem to have been given conflicting information. I am aware of contraindications of phentermine and SRSs but since wellbutrin is in a class by inself, I wondered if the two were safe together. I take 300 mg of wellbutrin SR daily for depression. I have been prescribed phentermine for weight loss.
