Is it possible to start gaining weight after abruptly stopping Wellbutrin?

Hi, Is it possible to start gaining weight after abruptly stopping Wellbutrin?. I have been on a reduced calorie diet, about 1200 calories per day plus working out and have still gained 10 lbs in two weeks since stopping the Wellbutrin? Have you heard of this?.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicWellbutrin is a antidepressant and it does not effect on weight. Sudden increase in weight in two weeks would go in favor for hypothyroidism rather than antidepressant withdrawal. In antidepressant withdrawal, patient would feel anxiety symptoms rather than weight gain. Better to get your thyroid level or corticosteroid level checked and consult a physician.Thanks
