Holy crap! This is something I had not considered. Duuuuuh. I'm currently taking Wellbutrin SR 150 mg once a day. Thought it was helping with the mood swings and it wouldn't decrease my libido (which is in the toilet) as drastically. I've also been trying to lose the 20 pounds I've gained in the last 2 years. To no avail. I'm having the HARDEST time. I'm doing Weight Watchers, exercising like a big dog and really, really watching what I eat and drink. Anyone else want to chime in on this?
