med treatment for overeating

Hi, I have been 300 mg of wellbrutin for quite a while.. I have gained about 20 pounds and  I am afraid I will gain more.I feel that I have some depression and I am wondering if there is a medication that helps with weight gain and mood stablizer. One time my doctor put me on topamax and it helped with weight gain and mood although I got afraid of it. what is your opinion on this drug or do you know of a good med treatment I can talk to my doctor about? I am so glad to have found a site like this. A great help and hope. thank you

The very best medication is no medication, so consider psychotherapy for your depression as an alternative. Topamax is a good medication, especially in low doses. Prozac is the one antidepressant that  does not usually cause weight gain.  If you are depressed, you might also be using food to control your depression and gaining weight for that reason..if that is  possible, then to to shrinkyourself.com to learn more about emotional eating.
