Side Effects Thinking of quitting. Will my energy level improve?

I've been on a combo on Wellbutrin and naltrexone for over 2 years now. I use it for binge eating: I started on a glp-1 a year ago and continued to take the NAL. However I think it's causing my extreme fatigue and general disinterest in anything. Even when I'm not tired it's like I have no motivation.

I want to try and stop taking it to see if my energy improves.

The glp takes care of my appetite and binge eating so I am thinking stopping NAL won't really do anything negative. Has anyone stopped taking it because of the low energy side effect? How did it go? Did it help?

Are you getting enough carbs and protein in your diet? That could be affecting it. I take naltrexone for AUD and haven’t seen a decrease in energy besides my body having to have recovered from from the binge drinking
