Wellbutrin Weight Loss Magic.

By Marcel Rahn


Wellbutrin is a brand name for a compound generically called bupropion. It was originally created to treat clinical depression; however, a side effect is weight loss. In fact, it has helped thousands of people to lose weight.

Wellbutrin works to defeat depression by blocking the transfer of feel good, mood enhancing compounds out of the brain. These compounds, norepinephrine and dopamine are essential to a patient's mood and mental stability.

If someone is struggling with weight issues, Wellbutrin may be the magic pill needed for them to trim down. However, it remains a prescription medication and has side effects. Some side effects can be serious. This is why its use must be supervised by a physician.

How Wellbutrin helps weight loss is not completely understood, however it's believed to minimizes appetite while at the same time increasing metabolism. This creates a two prong attack on fat by burning more calories while, at the same time, reducing the number of calories consumed.

Taking Wellbutrin to lose weight is considered an 'off-label' use. This simply means the US Food and Drug Administration has not formally approved bupropion for the treatment of weight loss issues. While this should be understood, it should not cause concern. Doctors routinely prescribe medications for off-label uses.

When excess weight is life threatening or a doctor recommends losing large amounts of weight, it might be advisable to combine Wellbutrin with another pharmaceutical, such as Naltrexone. These two combined have resulted in rapid and significant weight loss for many people, particularly when weight issues were causing serious health concerns.

Naltrexone was developed to treat addictions. It works by blocking an addict's cravings for drugs and other addictive substances. When it is taken for weight loss, Naltrexone blocks a patient's cravings for food. Breaking this cycle significantly reduces the amount of calories consumed.

Wellbutrin can help you lose weight, but it is still a prescription grade medication. Doctors who promote a natural approach to health warn against it, saying there is no magic pill for weight loss. Instead they recommend a change in lifestyle that includes a pleasant and satisfying healthy diet, enjoyable activity, supportive social connections and an improved relationship with food. Losing weight and keeping it off is fundamentally about choosing to live a healthy life and taking the action required to make it happen.
