Well, well, well. I'm glad I stumbled upon this drug in the side effects area. I, too, was sneakily substituted it for Wellbutrin XL! I've been on it for 2 mos now. I couldn't figure out why my moods had gotten worse and I was wanting to cry at stupid stuff on tv. I was thinking bad things were going to happen to my kids. I was having "almost" panic attacks when I was around a lot of people. That doesn't help when you go to church every Sunday. I have to sit in the crying room with the little kids. I just feel "out of sorts". I'm extra tired. I crave sweets and MUST have them. I'm like a drug addict, but with sweets. I thought my side effects were from the other meds I'm on, which I have not changed in many, many months. Now I know It's Budeprion. I am in the process of weaning off anyway because of the sweets addiction thing....I'm trying to lose weight that I gained on other meds over the last 2 yrs and THIS isn't helping. Thank you to all who posted. Good luck!

I was prescribed Wellbutrin for appetite suppression, it worked for a while, got put on buproprion, a generic, that worked, and then somehow I got this budeprion and it is absolutely useless. I too am craving so much food and sweets that I have gained tons of weight in a few months, not to mention my hormones went crazy when i had a miscarriage and got put on other meds that put me in this mania for food mode. I have gained almost 50 lbs in just a few months. The budeprion is like taking a sugar pill, only makes me want more sugar! I am going to call my dr this evening and tell him to put me back on the other. Because now with all this weight gain, I now have obstructive sleep apnea, probalby due to all the extra pounds. Thanks for your posting.
