My sister is taking wellbutrin and her sugar cravings is out of control. But she always had bad sugar cravings. Does anyone here get bad sugar cravings on wellbutrin? Is wellbutrin known for increasing sugar cravings?
Thanks

I was on wellbutrin but no sugar cravings. I loved how my weight stayed in a good range and I had energy.

I am on Wellbutrin and I have not noticed any unusual sugar cravings.......but I have always loved sugary foods and treats. Of course, on this program we are supposed to reduce our sugar intake, which I am finding almost impossible. But I WILL pat myself on the back for giving up coffee.....that was easier than I thought and I was a Starbucks kinda gal !

I too am a starbucks gal so now I drink decaf
skinny lattes. You think this causes any dangers
I never hear anyone switching to decaf.

I've been on Wellbutrin and didn't crave sugar. I really didn't have much of an appetite with it. Now with the Remeron I'm on now, I definitely have food cravings. But I'm trying to stay fed with high protein meals before I take my night time dosage. It has lessen the desire for sweets but hasn't taken it away. Aerobic exercise helps with that as well.
