Hi Siri have gone through your question and understand your concerns regarding your health issues.in my opinion, presently you're suffering from recurrent depressive disorder and which need to be treated immediately. Regarding treatment options, main Chat Doctor.  But, mostly all got weight gain as main side effect with few exceptions like bupropion and to some extent vilazadone. As you already tried bupropion (Wellbutrin), I would recommend you to try vilazadone starting with 20\u00a0mg and slowly escalating dose to 40\u00a0mg. I also recommend adding cognitive behavioral therapy as an add-on treatment. If both bupropion and vilazadone are not successful, and if cognitive behavioral therapy fails....then... I advise you to start antidepressant along with tablet Metformin to stop gaining weight.
