Hi,
They say on the packaging that those who have had an ED or are currently suffering from an ED shouldn't take it. Why was I prescribed this? It freaks me out a bit as it says there is an increased risk with seizures. Has anybody had any experience with this? Thanks!

I have considered taking it. A friend of mine took it and said it affected his appetite. Did any of you experience this?

I havent had any sexual side effects or weight gain, you do lose you appetite for a short time, but it comes back to normal

i was taking it..they say it's dangerous for bulimics because the type of purging involved with bulimia disrupts the balance of electrolyte (sp) in the body and coupled with the decreased seizure threshold induced by wellbutrin can be a recipe for disaster. however: i took it for a month and purged multiple times a day and never had a seizure. this is not a reccomendation that purging on wellbutrin is safe. don't throw up. it's never safe especially on wellbutrin.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
