There's a new weight loss drug made from a combination of an anti-depressant and a crave-reducer

I know when we hear "diet drug", we all cringe. But I just heard about one called Contrave, which is a combination of Wellbutrin and Naltrexone. It's refreshing to hear about some kind of weight loss aid other than phen-fen, uppers, speed, or anything that would make anxiety worse. I understand that some people with anxiety can't tolerate Wellbutrin. But for any of us here who are already on an antidepressant (me!) then this is at least a way to combine taking an antidepressant with possibly losing weight instead of gaining it. Of course one still has to diet and exercise. I think this might help those of us who are emotional eaters.
