Can wellbutrin (bupropion) cause weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily.: As a medication for anxiety and depression, it's not supposed to cause weight gain, at least not more than placebo, where some medications for such can cause significant weight gain. That being said, it shouldn't actively make you lose weight.
