Food noise and cravings. Quieter, on your terms.

How DrWell works

From researching options to talking with a provider.

Use DrWell to find providers serving your location, get to know a practice, and take the next step toward an evaluation.

Low dose naltrexone vs bupropion and naltrexone: start with your health.

You don't need to choose between medications before making an appointment. A provider can explain how the differences relate to your health history, potential risks, preferences, and costs.

These options have different doses, risks, and evidence, and are not interchangeable. Bring your questions to a provider who can evaluate whether either is appropriate for you.

Care near me, or care online?

Your appointments need to work with your routine. Find a provider serving your location, then ask how the practice handles visits and ongoing care.

Appointment formats, services, and availability vary by provider.

Bring your questions. Get to know your options.

Use these answers to prepare for a provider conversation, not to choose a prescription on your own. Your provider and pharmacist should guide decisions about your health and any specific medication.

What is food noise?

Food noise is a popular term for persistent, intrusive thoughts about food. It is not a medical diagnosis, but it can be distressing, and a provider can help you understand what may be behind it.

What is low dose naltrexone?

It is a much lower dose of naltrexone than is used for its approved purposes, and it is used off-label, meaning outside its labeled indication. It is typically compounded, which means compounded, not FDA approved. Ask your prescriber and pharmacist why it is being considered, what it contains, and where it is prepared.

Does naltrexone work for weight loss?

Naltrexone alone is not FDA approved for weight loss. The combination of bupropion and naltrexone in extended-release form is approved for chronic weight management. Your provider can explain whether either is appropriate for you.

Can naltrexone help with alcohol cravings?

Naltrexone is FDA approved to treat alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder, which is a different purpose from weight management. If you're concerned about your drinking, tell your provider so you can talk about the right kind of support.

What is bupropion and naltrexone?

It is a combination medication in extended-release form, FDA approved for chronic weight management. Bupropion carries a boxed warning about suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and the combination is not for everyone. Compounded versions are compounded, not FDA approved.

How do I stop sugar cravings?

Many people find that regular meals with protein and fiber, enough sleep, and managing stress help. If cravings feel hard to control or distressing, a provider can evaluate what may be behind them and discuss options.

How do I stop food cravings?

Start by noticing when they happen. Skipped meals, poor sleep, stress, and restrictive diets can all increase them. A provider can look at the whole picture and discuss whether medication or other support may help.

Could my cravings be binge eating disorder?

Feeling out of control while eating, eating large amounts quickly, and feeling distress afterward can be signs of binge eating disorder. It is treatable. Tell your provider so they can evaluate and connect you with the right support.

How much does treatment for cravings cost?

Cost varies by treatment, pharmacy, and associated care fees. Request an itemized quote from the provider and pharmacy, and confirm whether appointments, medication, and lab work are included or billed separately.
