wow, I haven't had that problem but then I am also on welbutrin and straterra. I find that I am not hungry as much but I am also trying to lose weight.

I never noticed a change in appetite when I was on the Dep stuff, but I did notice a weight gain of course. I think it slows down your metabolism as well as increases your appetite. I also felt sluggish and tired all the time on it. All I ate at meals was junk...no wonder I gained weight lol.
