Wellbutrin weight loss
is a non-indicated or what is also called an off-label administration
of Wellbutrin XL. Wellbutrin (chemically known as
bupropion) is a medication approved and primarily used to treat
depresion. However its administration as an anti-depresant results to
such huge weight loss that some doctors prescribe a dosage of 300mg to
400mg per day to target loss of weight.
Like similar drugs,
wellbutrin weight loss works by interacting with neurotransmitters in
the brain. However unlike chemically related
drugs, it is known
to affect a different set of neurotransmiiters; affecting dopamine and
norepinephrine rather than serotonin
And though it has been
shown to lead to as much as 10% loss of body weight in just six months,
it is
not a weight losss strategy of choice. If you are looking for
a an effective diet pill, I would recommend Caralluma Fimbriata
based diet pill as a natural and safe alternative.
Wellbutrin is basically bupropion hydrochlonde, a chemical related to
diethylpropion or Tenuate. Unlike other antidepresent e.g.
prozac, wellbutrin is neither a serotonin
re-uptake inhibitor (like prozac) nor an
MAO inhibitor (like Nardil). So other antidepresent do not
really show
similar effects of weight loss.
Wellbutrin XL is manufactured by Glaxo
Smithkline. And though it does lead to weight loss it is not the best
way.
If you want to lose
weight, even more specifcally lose belly fat fast, easily and
permanelty; you will need to "Go Beyond
Calories". Infact
you need to "Go Beyond
Calories" and focus on two
things, just two things.

Wellbutrin Weight Loss Mechanism of Action
Welbutrin or bupropion
weight loss
like other approved weight loss diet pills like Adipex
and Meridia is also a
central nervous system stimulant.
It affects
neurotransmitters in the
brain inhibiting the feeling of hunger. However unlike them, it mainly
affects dopamine and norepinephrine rather than serotonin.
Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals used to send messages with the
central nervous system and the brain.
They are released by
nerve cells
and stimulate reception on other cells. Once the message is sent, the
neurotransmitters are destroyed or absorbed into the cell that produced
them.
This is technically
referred to as neurotransmitters re-uptake.
Wellbutrin affects dopamine and norepnehrine by inhibiting the
re-uptake.
Wellbutrin Side Effects
Common side effects of bupropion include
headaches, dry mouth and
diarrhea.
Others are excitement, anxiety, dizziness, vomiting, tremor,
constipation and excessive sweating.
Some of the serious side effects include seizures, confusion,
hallucinations, irrational fear, fever, severe skin rash, itching,
swelling of face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, ankles or lower legs,
hoarseness muscle or joint pains and irregular heart beats.
Higher
doses show higher cases of side effects.
Caution
Higher doses show higher cases of side effects. Do not use if, you have
injuries or any eating disorders. The drug is only approved, even as an
antidepressant strictly for adults. Children tend to develop suicidal
thoughts with the drugs.
Preparation and Dosage of Wellbutrin for
Weight
Loss
For weight loss the dosage reported for
Wellbutrin are 400 mg/day and
300 mg/day during 24 weeks. Wellbutrin showed an extent of dose
dependant effect in weight loss. 400 mg/day resulted to 10% loss of
total body weight and 300 mg/day resulted to 7.2% compared to a control
that had only 5.0%.
Note the control was a diet and exercise only and the other were diet,
exercise and welbutrin. And though the higher dosage had better results
it also had the most side effects. Instead of wellbutrin you should
really
consider Caralluma.
Weight loss as a result of using wellbutrin has one fundamental
disadvantage. You will need a doctors prescription. However
if you are looking to get a flat stomach fast, easily and permanetly
without using drugs you need to "Go
Beyond Calories".You need to "Go Beyond Calories" and focus on two things, just two things. These two are...
