Does wellbutrin help with weight loss?

I'm starting Wellbutrin soon, and I'm also trying to lose some weight. I heard a rumor that this medicine might actually aid in weight loss. Is there any truth to that, or is it just a myth?

It can help with weight loss, but if your weight issues are linked to an underactive thyroid, you still need proper thyroid hormone treatment.

In all my years of taking various prescriptions, this is the only one that helped me drop about 6 kgs without making me feel weak or tired.

Yes, it often aids in weight loss by reducing cravings. However, if you are diabetic, keep tracking your blood sugar levels closely as your food intake changes.

Be cautious. The weight loss is real, but if you experience severe nausea or rapid heartbeats along with it, report it to your doctor immediately.

While weight loss is a common clinical observation, using it purely as a diet pill is not recommended. Always prioritize your doctor's clinical advice.

I am looking to start this for my anxiety. Does the weight loss happen very quickly, or is it a gradual process over months?
