Hi All,

The shortening days got to me early this year and I've just picked up my Wellbutrin (well the generic, Bupropion) at the drugstore. It's a low dose, 75 mg three times a day. I can't take the sustained release because I can't swallow pills. I have to chew them. YUCH!
Anyway, this is the ingredient list:

75 mg tablet: D&C yellow no. 10 lake, FD&C yellow no. 6 lake, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, talc, and titanium dioxide;

If the cellulose is just fiber and the glycol a sugar alcohol type thing, I shouldn't be getting a lot of unwanted carbs.

Anyone familiar with this stuff?

Thanks,
Barb

I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFFESIONAL but I don't think you need to worry about carbs in these.

Thanks Lori,

With my SAD kicking in I've gone up 3 pounds and I'm really worried that I'm going to lose control. I'm only eating low carb food but way too much of it. I'm falling into my old habit of using food to feel better. I'm cutting out the nuts and RS candies and trying to institute some sort of portion control. I didn't do to well last night with the cauliflower fried rice. I ate almost half a head's worth! Sure was good though.

I know some pills have fillers that are carbs and I just wanted to make sure these didn't since I'm back to counting for a while. Wellbutrin is supposed to help curb appetite but I eat to eat. I guess that may lessen a bit when the depression does.

Guess I'll change my stats. What a bummer. This is the first time I've ever had to change them to reflect a gain.
