Did you switch from Celexa to either Lexapro or Wellbutrin and experience

reduction in your levels of hunger? Earlier this week I met with my surgeon, regarding my excessive levels of hunger, for fear that I had an SLD. He reassured me that I didn't but suggested that the SSRI Celexa, which I'm on, may be altering my senses of hunger and fullness and I might benefit from switching to another anti-depressant. I looked in the library and didn't find anything specific to my particular 2-part question/concern which is: 1) Did you experience increased levels of hunger on Celexa , and 2) if you did experience increased hunger on Celexa, and then were changed to either Lexapro or Wellbutrin, did you actually experience a decrease in hunger? The issue of whether or not you lost weight on Lexapro or Wellbutrin is not important to me, because I'm post-op RNY and know, in spite of my feelings of hunger, I'm not going to get that next bite in once my pouch is full, and Im' not a grazer, so I'm not worried of gaining or losing. I'm just wanting to manage this ever present feeling of hunger so I can focus on more than that gnawing distracting feeling in the pit of my stomach. Please forgive me for this rather long ramble to get my question out, but I really want some lived experience like mine and don't know how else to ask this question.
