Can I Take The Oxy Pro Elite Longer Than The 8 Weeks ?

I was feeling drained all of the time, and for a healthy 26 year old I thought something was wrong. I went to the doctor and he prescribed a low dosage of welbutrin. I felt a slight increase in energy but not enough. I used to be able to work out avidly, and for a few months now- I have no energy. My physical came back normal- not thyroid problems or anything. I asked my local GNC rep what I should try- he said Oxy Pro Elite. I used it for the full 8 weeks, but now I have been off of it for my first week and I am back to feeling drained again. Can I take the Oxy Pro Elite longer than the 8 weeks ? Why is it only an 8 week dosage ?

you should consult physician and get examined and tests done to rule out any organic cause of your problems
physician will guide you for best management and continue medicines only on physician/psychiatrist's advice
welbutrin and oxy pro elite are two different thing oxyprolite can not replace welbutrin
please consult your doctor and follow advice
hope you be all right

Hi, Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
Wellbutrin is an antidepressant (bupropion); Oxy Pro Elite (or Oxyelite pro?; www.oxyelite-pro.com/) is an OTC herbal drug for weight loss. So it's difficult to say for me why you stopped wellbutrin & took OxyelitePro from GNC rep. I can't answer your original question ( Can I take the Oxy Pro Elite longer than the 8 weeks? Why is it only an 8 week dosage?).

I suggest you to go back to your doctor & get evaluated again as you may or may not be suffering from depression. Good luck.
