Hmmmmmmm, yeah actually a number of forum members were taken off the drug due to complications stemming from extreme weight gain. Perhaps you could ask your pdoc if it differs depending on whether you're taking the regular stuff or -- what is it? XR? -- I was shocked when they started showing commercials for it cuz the side effects sounded horrible, far worse than I'd ever been told. I thought it was great for sleep though, for what it's worth. Yes, Wellbutrin was poison for me by day 10. I hired a guy I barely knew to "babysit" me over the weekend as I had become a human ping pong ball and was thinking I might bounce out the window of our 7th story apartment.. I later doubted myself, rewrote history and tried it again (my whole family was taking it -- was I THAT different?!?) Well, apparently so. I was not only manic but sick as hell.
