Hi All, thought i'd share my first week experiences with the prescription weight loss combination naltrexone /bupropion, as there aren't a lot of recent talk about in across reddit. The drugs are used in isolation to stop craving in opioid/alcohol addiction, and to stop smoking, respectively. Bupropion is also used as an antidepressant.
I have always struggled with weight but recently have gained a lot more and finding it harder than ever to keep on track, a lot of over-eating. I have been prescribed mysimba (called contrave in the US) and I hope to post updates good or bad.
The first week has been very eye-opening. I have experienced no craving for junk food whatsoever, it has been a bit surreal honestly, I can see for the first time what it must feel like for someone with a healthy relationship with food. It has just been effortless.
I am finding myself stopping eating when I am full, and not eating until I feel actually hungry. In fact, what has felt the strangest has been how often my stomach feels 'empty'. I had forgotten what that feels like for the longest time. I must have been living my life going around with a full stomach practically the entire time.
I was expecting some pretty full on side-effects, as a lot of people complain about headaches and nausea, but aside from some very minor head tension and tiredness the first few days, nothing so far. I up my dose this coming week however.
'Lost' weight this week but chalking most of it up to being less full of food.
