Bupropion / naltrexone
weight loss
"I'm a Dr who has been Rx'ing this drug since it came out. I have seen varied levels of success in my office. I've been trying to lose weight myself, with no success. I asked my own doctor, and he agreed it was worth a try. I've been on it for 3 months, and my results are great. I have lost 32 lbs. I'm down to the same waist size I had when I was 18. My chronic pain has improved.

I'd like to address a few issues that people have mentioned:

1) This medicine is not a stimulant, it is not designed to decrease appetite. It reduces the subconscious reward you receive from food, thus it's easy to resist temptation.

2) The 2 meds separately won't help. The bupropion is avail in a similar dose, but the naltrexone isn't, nor is it avail in an ER form"
