BUPROPION vs ORLISTAT

As I get older, I’m starting to become more aware of the telltale signs that my depression symptoms are getting worse. I’ve noticed that one very specific symptom is that I feel nostalgic about so many things. In a melancholy way, not a fun way. I think it’s my brain’s way of trying to comfort me by

I obviously am not cured but it’s easily my favorite one I’ve been on. I want to know if y’all have ever started a med and were just blown away!! For me, it’s Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL). It helped reduce my depression smoking and my lack of motivation. I’ve genuinely never been happier. ETA: It’s bee

I have been a reader of this sub-reddit for some time now, but it is time for me to post. I am a first generation Asian-American and I have severe depression. I am taking bupropion sr1 at 50mg. The meds work for the most part to the extent that I can function, but at times I feel a huge surge of

So as the title suggests, ive recently come out of a huge stent of depression, about 10 years worth. Because of how long ive been depressed, most of my entire personality was taken over by it. I became withddrawn, self defeating, gave up my activities and hobbies years ago because they were no long

I have been so exhausted lately that I am on the verge of dizziness some days. I get about eight hours of sleep, so I should be well rested enough, but I wake up barely able to get out of bed. It's also really cold right now, which is sapping a lot of what little energy I have left. I am trying not

After four years on a low dose of bupropion XL (100 mg) , I decided to stop taking it. My pharmacist told me to taper off slowly, so for the first 2.5 weeks I took it every 2nd day, and for the next 2.5 weeks I took it every 3rd day. The tapering process went smoothly, so I figured it was safe to st

I’ve been depressed and anxious since I was 10 (turning 22 this year..) and it almost feels like every year, I just lose a piece of myself. Every year, I lose more energy and more hope. I struggle with so much self doubt and self hatred. I wouldn’t kill myself but I often think of how great it would

I'm only 4 foot 10, and gained about 15 pounds in 4 months on mirtazapine. That is something like the equivalent of 6 or 8 dress sizes. I need to stay on the drug because of the severity of my depression and sleep dysfunction, with long covid. Over the course of 2 months I've lost 9 of those pounds,

I'm 20F, 5' 9" (175cm). SW255, CW140, GW140. So a couple of years ago my doctor suggested that I do a low-fat diet with 6-7 small 250cal meals per day, basing them on whole grains and some very lean protein with a fruit, and taking orlistat with meals that had more fat than usual. I tried that and f

I read so much negative stuff about orlistat on this forum and elsewhere, and thought I should take time to share my experience. A lot people describe an uneasy feeling in their stomach when eating fat on orlistat. I do have *a *feeling too, but I don't think it's uncomfortable. I just feel... satia

Greetings, Long time lurker, v. rare poster. Came here because I was prescribed Orlistat, got the dreaded oily diarrhea, scoured the internet for answers to no avail and eventually found a solution myself. I reckon reddit is the best possible place to put this info for any other poor souls scourin

Hi everyone. I am mainly writing this for cathartic reasons. I have struggled with weight my entire life and I never feel like talking to my friends or tweeting about it quite captures my life. I welcome any comments, criticisms, or words of support. ​ TLDR: I'm a smart guy and have had s
