[QUOTE="Star*, post: 428599, member: 4964"] Welbutrin - is wonderful for me - and it's helped me maintain low weight in conjunction with a sensible new way of living/eating. I also take topamax for migrianes which I am told ALSO helps with weight maintance, but do NOT expect a doctor to just willy-nilly whip out a prescription pad and hand you a script for an anti-convulsive. If you say "Well I don't have epilepsy, I.........want it for migraines?" Yeah- well......then be prepared to pay for a boatload of tests, because at least here in SC? It is the LAST chance, end of the line for prescribatives for migraines. I had to take all the other witch-doctor potions, MRI's - and see specialists, plus do eliminations (diets, stressors, weather) keep a migraine diary - show how often I went to the ER for delauded and morphine coctails, had 220/54 BiPolar (BP) (showing extreme pain OF migraines) and THEN? Oh happy ,happy joy joy happy happy joy! I got RELPAX.....which if you are lucky and can afford $85/per pill - and only get 6 a month - and those don't totally work and you have tried therapy and are on a good antidepressant, therapy, and pretty much can do everything short of wearing your butt for a hat? THEN you get Topamax. (insert personal victory belly dance thing) I also wrote to Johnson and Johnson patient assistant program and get reduced/free medications. I can't afford either of these now. As far as the welbutrin? (insert that little look like Cher did to Sony in the 70's) I take 3 a day........and they are $12 a month but I shopped around (like Tenille on the Captain and Tenille) Cause they are expensive and you betta shop around. HOWEVER - Some SSRI's - that work for your sons? Will have the best results with you too - FYI. If they didn't work with them? They probably won't work on you. Weird huh? Zoloft made both me and Dude suicidal. paxil did the same thing to me......so you have to find the right class that works for you AND helps you loose weight but doesn't make you want to kill yourself.
