Stimulants & Non-Stimulants
Our clinic offers a range of oral weight loss medications to support your journey. These include stimulant options like phentermine to curb appetite and non-stimulants such as bupropion/naltrexone to address cravings and emotional eating. We also provide access to off-label medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, which can improve metabolism and promote sustainable weight loss. Each plan is tailored to your unique needs for safe and effective results.
STIMULANTS
Stimulant medications, such as phentermine, are designed to suppress appetite and boost energy levels. These medications activate the central nervous system to reduce hunger and make it easier to stick to a calorie deficit.
Benefits?
-
Fast-acting appetite suppression
-
Increased energy for daily activities and exercise
-
Proven effectiveness for short-term weight loss
Who Might Benefit?
Stimulants are often recommended for individuals who struggle with persistent hunger or have difficulty controlling portion sizes. These medications are ideal for short-term use under medical supervision.
Important Considerations:
-
Stimulants may not be suitable for individuals with high blood pressure, heart conditions, or sensitivity to stimulants.
-
Potential side effects include insomnia, increased heart rate, and dry mouth.
NON - STIMULANTS
Non-stimulant medications, such as bupropion/naltrexone (Contrave) and off-label options like peptides, work through different mechanisms to support weight loss. They may reduce cravings, improve metabolism, or address emotional eating.
Benefits?
-
Suitable for longer-term use
-
Fewer cardiovascular side effects compared to stimulants

Addresses underlying factors like emotional eating or insulin resistance
Who Might Benefit?
Non-stimulants are a great option for individuals who need a more holistic approach to weight loss or cannot tolerate stimulants due to health concerns.
Important Considerations:
