I wish! Wouldn't that be the best? But I've been on Paxil (7 years) and once I adjusted to it, my appetite came right back. After the Paxil stopped working for my depression, I was on Wellbutrin for awhile. Didn't work for me, my appetite or me depression. I'm on Effexor right now. Again, after the initial ajustment, my appetite returned. I sure do wish it worked though. Wading through the emotional stuff takes a lot of painful time. I'm convinced it's worth it, though.

nope. Now there's another group here at daily strength called eating disorders and I've seen posts there about meds that help with binging. ???

I've actually gained weight on most of the antidepressants I've been on. :(

Hmmmm....I actually haven't noticed any of my anti-depressant medications working for my binging either. Thanks for your post...very interesting I think. Damn! No easy answer is there?

YES!!!! Iam taking wellbutrin. I take a 75mg pill in the morning and again around three in the afternoon. It makes me not hungry, it gives me a clarity in my thinking and it reaaly boosts your sex drive! Try it. They give it to people with depression, eating disorders and who are trying to stop smoking.

I tried Wellbutrin for depression some years ago. It wasn't used for appetite control UNTIL some depressed people found it worked like a diet pill (stimulant). It wasn't long before it was being sold on the black market for weight loss, getting high, etc.

Cymbalta seems to reduce my appetite, without the harmful (to me) getting revved up in the nervous system.
