> I don't know why my insurance company would have anything to do with it - I was paying for it not them It was originally prescribed to me for wieght loss. I have put on over 150 lbs. mostly from depression but I can't get it off. The wellebutrin made me drop alot of wieght but then I came to a point where Okay, I'm not suicidal but I'm not living well either. Maybe I should just risk the siezures and raise my wellebutrin dosage.
