Lexapro is a form of Prozac without some of the side effects, such as

diminished Libido. I have been on it for the second week now and have not had

Carb

cravings anymore than usual. Maybe you simply want some SEX. :0). But

seriously, each of us responds differently to these meds and it is just a matter

of

finding what is right for you. Welbuterin is supposed to be good for cravings.

Does anyone know why my replies come out as a run on. I highlight what I am

replying to, hit reply, and then place some empty lines between. But you

can't tell where my reply begins. It must have something to do with the new AOL

9.0. Any opinions.

Krissy,

I lost weight on Wellbutrin each period of time I used it pre-op, and

post-op, I haven't gained any while taking it. It works really well for

me; I can tell the difference when I forget to take it for more than a

day. Just make sure are prescribed the IR (instant release) formulation,

NOT the XR (extended release). You will probably have to take it two or

three times a day on the IR formulation, and I have to be careful to not

take it after 4:30 pm, or risk having trouble sleeping. Otherwise, no

issues, no weird cravings, not a lot of dry mouth/eyes, etc.

Wellbutrin/Lexpro Suggestions Please

Dr. is considerring placing me on it.

Any reviews from the community?

Anything out there actually relieve depression without giving cravings

other than Prozac? Prozac has worked the best so far diet wise but

there are some other side effects I am attempting to avoid.

I love Wellbutrin. I had little to no cravings with it. I was one of

those unfortunates that actually gained weight on Prozac.

I'm on week two of Lexapro and there are two things I keep

repeating... I'd mug a drug dealer for some speed (I'm so tired, my

butt is just dragging), and I'd mug a little kid for their potato

chips. I hadn't had any real carb cravings since my surgery (was

lucky in that way), but I was also on Wellbutrin. I came off of it

because I felt like it wasn't working anymore. Maybe it was, but Ihad

gotten used to the feeling. Who knows? I do know what you mean about

the Lexapro though.... Effexor was even worse for me... I did nothing

but eat and sleep.

I do well on Wellbutrin. I am supposed to take it 3 times a day, but usually

forget my middle of the day dose. The doc that put me on it called it " Sex,

drugs and rock and roll " ...because it didn't affect your sex life (for

MOST...YMMV)...it doesn't interfere with other drugs and after you have been

on it awhile you feel like Rockin and Rollin!

Wellbutrin/Lexpro Suggestions Please

I was on welbutrin for a bit and it worked OK(avoid

the sustained relese)I did manage to continue loosing

weight. My issues are more with anxiety so I have

switched to Zoloft now. Seem to be going well... Have

not noticed cravings, that would stink though. Great,

now I am getting nervous over it (kidding).
