I lost 115 pounds in 2005 on Wellbutrin (bupropion). (I had weighed 300 at the start.)

It also caused mania. I lost my appetite and had the desire to challenge myself physically -- I rode a bicycle over 70 miles one day (I'm a woman, weighed 200 pounds, and was age 45 at the time.)

A stressful side effect was that my hair fell out and became very thin, possibly due to hormones and the extreme weight loss.

Unfortunately, the good effects wore off in 2006 and I stopped taking it.

I resumed it in 2009 for fibromyalgia pain and depression. It completely eliminated the fibro pain.

However, the antidepressant and weight control effects of 2005 haven't come back.

I gained back 65 pounds, continue to have depression, and periods of complete inactivity and compulsive eating.

I started Budeprion XL (150 mg) as an addition to Lexapro (20 mg) 3 months ago and have lost 16 pounds without even really trying (not easy for me previously). I am now almost too thin...

Which is better to lose weight bupropion 100 mg or bupropion hcl 150 mg?

They are the same thing; buproprion always comes as buproprion hcl or occasionally buproprion hbr. The different names are essential just different brand names. So 150mg will be more effective than 100mg for weight loss. That said, only 28% of people lose significant weight on Buproprion, and most of them had recently gained weight due to depression. It is most effective as part of a controlled diet and exercise plan, because it will reduce the psychological pain of dieting by keeping your dopamine up without food, and it will give you more energy to exercise. If you aren't clinically depressed and don't change your lifestyle, the average weight loss after a year on Buproprion is 1.8lbs.
