Is Bupropion HCl Effective In Helping Lose Weight?
Hi! So my doctor prescribed me Bupropion HCl. It is an antidepressant that my doctor prescribed as weight loss medication. I ve never had any signs of depression or psychological issues, but I ve been struggling loosing weight my whole life, but i m still not sure if an antidepressant is the way to go. Please let me know what you think.

Hi,
Bupropion is an antidepressant but it has also been used as a drug to help weight reduction, either alone or in combination with Naltrexone. Results have been fairly good. So it does help in weight reductions. It is worth giving a try.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
