    Its known for not causing weight gain like most antidepressants.
    And it was shown to have a fairly dramatic affect on weight loss even compared to other prescription weight loss drugs.
    But when used to treat obesity its usually given at 300-400 mg.
    It certainly helps, alot for weight control, especially craving control.

    You know what? I really think it does. i had anorexia about 3 years ago, when i got ''healthy'' again I went from 80 pounds too 150. I could not stop eating and eating and gaining weight. as soon as i went on a low dose of wellbutrin, my appetite went down, it didn't compleately go away but its controlled. I stopped over-eating and eating normally.
    Im at a perfect weight , not skinny not fat. 120 pounds (5Ɖ)
