hi. I am going to start Wellbutrin in a few days. I need to take it for my large lack of emotions, and lack of concentration. I have no anxiety by the way.From all the research I have done it seems like deffinetly one of the better meds for me specifically since I dont want a numbing effect from ssri's. I want to feel all emotions! even the bad ones. Because my life was perfect before. With full emotions I would never have anything to feel bad about. so no numbing for me.
But one thing concerns me regarding wellbutrin which is the weight loss. Can someone fight this if they are determined enough or is the weight loss unavoidable? I am small and thin and this has been how I naturally am. I weight 53 kg and anorexic for me would be 47kg because I have seen how I have been when my depression was so severe I couldn't eat because I had to fight off the mind torture and thoughts of suicide. good thing that things are 'moderate' now.
i am planning to take protein shakes to counter act loss of appetite. can someone who is thin prevent anorexia from wellbutrin? I have to try it. my other options I feel could be less effective.
