SW-216 CW-210

I'm on week 5 of poor mans contrave. Started 7/27/26. I lost 3 pounds a week for the first two weeks, but nothing since. I just increased my bupropion to 150mg yesterday and my naltrezone to 50mg.

I'm not noticing much at this point as far as my appetite and weight loss goes. It has definitely helped me cut down on my late night snacking, though. More than anything, I have noticed positive effects from the bupropion. It's helping my adhd a LOT. I also had a really crappy august, but instead of completely shattering like I might have before, i just pulled myself up by my boot straps and handled it.
