    I graduated high school 13 years ago weighing 230. Around 10 years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and went through a ton of medications trying to find something that helped. About 8 years ago I was stable, feeling well, got down to 205 while going through pharmacy school. Now after the past 8 years, and getting married, having kids, moving 3 times in the past 2 years, and 5 years as a pharmacist I have ballooned up to 285. I am off all the meds, and another kid on the way, I am motivated to lose the weight and considering bariatric surgery to help. Currently down to 272, and starting to find good habits to help me on my way. All that being said, being a pharmacist, if anyone has any questions about medications, please message me.

    I'm sure the bupropion helped boost my weight loss. The only side effects are if you take too high a dose it can really mess with your mood if something triggers your anxiety. It can also pick your heart rate up and some times make it harder to cool down. Other than that I take two doses during the day of 150 spread out around 7 hrs apa
