Bupropion is also used as an antidepressant and antismoking drug.
I am taking Bupropion to treat my depression and it helps me - at least I think it does. I also think it helped me to loose a little bit of weight.
I have observed myself and with Bupropion I simply want to do stuff, go out for a walk, meet friends etc. Instead of being in bed all day. I think this is how it helps me do both: improve my depression and lose weight at the same time.
I might be totally wrong though since I have no idea regarding the actual mechanics of Bupropion and I may simply experience the "placebo-effect".
- ddorian43 6y agoYeah Bupropion is also used a little for ADHD. It has those effects a little. Hell, there are people abusing it for those effects. And ADHD meds were used previously for loosing weight. I think it will be the same with Bupropion.

- wincy 6y agoBupropion gave me a psychotic episode, and to be clear I have never had anything like that happen before or since, which made it even scarier. The straight razors I had in my house were calling out to me, so I threw them behind the refrigerator so they couldn't get me. Then I had to call my mom and cry in a ball for three days before I started feeling better. It was absolutely terrifying.
