Anti-depresssant and weight loss medication

I am a menopausal woman with verious health issues and under doctors care.
I am currently taking Wellburtrin 300 mg as an antidepressant and taking Lorazepam 1 mg for trouble sleeping.
I also take Oxybutynin 5 mg or uniary incontience and occational Midrn for headaches.
My weight has increased dramadicly over the past couple of years.  
I am 45 yrs old weight 190lbs and my height is 5'1.
Doctor I am desperately wanting to drop atleast 50 lbs.
Wellburtin seems to be working well as anti-depressant, however Lorazepam I'm not sure of.

What diet pill can be taken together with Wellburtin to loose weight?

Jaquta has given you some fine advice..I would only add that diet pills might actually be dangerous for you with those other medications...they are all stimulants of one kind or another.

A lot of the doctors here at MedHelp don't actually advocate the use of diet pills for weight loss.  Depending on which forum you're on they will either suggest addressing emotional issues or making healthy lifestyle changes.
As this is the emotional eating expert forum the doctor is likely to address the emotional aspect behind the eating.

I understand how devastating weight gain, etc can be and how desperate we can feel to shift it.

This expert has a website that you may find useful.  It is shrinkyourself.com.  He also has another one if you want to work through some of your issues yourself.  That one is myvirtualshrink.com.

If you want some practical weight loss tips you could try going to the weight loss and healthy lifestyle expert forum and check out the doctor's earliest blog.

Good luck!!
