Wellbutrin Post Partum Depression, Wellbutrin Xl, Eating Disorder, Joint Pain, Hair Loss
Posted over a year ago
I have been on Wellbutrin XL for 4 1/2 months for post-partum depression and have noticed hair loss and joint pain (especially in hands). I am surprised my doctor recommended this to me as I have a history of anorexia. It states fairly clearly on the literature, "do not take if had history of eating disorder". Anyone have a comment on this???
Cowlover22 - one reason they reccommend not giving it to people with ED is because there is a high chance of seizures if you purge. I am on that plus ritalin which is contraindicated, but I wont go off of them ( i also am anorexic) b/c afraid to gain weight. So I lie to them...obviosly I dont care to much about myself, but I think that is why. It also suppress your appetite I think. Good luck...dont let this horrible disease take control of you!
