Wellbutrin XR and Insane Appetite: Has Anyone Else Experienced This?

i started wellbutrin xr (150mg) about a week ago and i haven’t experienced appetite loss, in fact, i feel like i’m starving at night and it makes me constantly wake up. i decided to start taking it in the morning instead of night like i had been doing, and since then, i’ve been experiencing an insane appetite throughout the day. it’s only been two days of this, but it’s insane. i don’t mind it for weight gain, because that’s been one of my biggest health goals, but it’s making me feel so sick to be constantly feeling hungry like half an hour after eating a big meal. has anyone else experienced this? and if so, did it last for a while?

It does last a little bit but eventually stops, especially at the higher dose

I started at 150, went to 300, now on a month trial of 450. Food is absolutely awful and I don’t care if I ever eat again. It does subside, but this 450 is killer

I take 300 in the morning mostly because it's energizing for me and it helps survive a day. 450 in a week triggered horrible manic episode.

that's why I'm concerned the psychiatrist that said welbutrin was okay might have overlooked my bipolar
