Is It Safe To Take Bupropion Hcl Xl For Eating Disorder?

My daughter was given Bupropion HCL XL 150MG ,once per day. (should be Wellbutrin) However this is the one pharmacy gave her...She was given this, because doctor suspects eating disorder for my 19 year old...When reading some of the facts, says that anyone with Eating isorder should not be given this....so why did she get this??? Thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Eating disorder is not the disease and I believe in pathological condition and only advise medicine for these otherwise I always say that keep your self away from the medicine, when it is not needed, and the same thing I would like to say you that never ever give any medicine without the strong indication, under the supervision of clinician, have a word with your daughter for her problem I understand that this is not easy task but you have to keep the patience, but this is the only good way you have, try this, take care of her and have nice day.
