I have issues with my appetite. I eat a lot. So my fix was to exercise a lot. Which worked out fine. But now my hip has a pretty severe issue causing me to go from ~1,500+ calories per day burn to about half. Add to that the fact that I sleep worse due to pain... So my appetite is even worse, as I eat to compensate the lack of energy because of my bad sleep. I want these meds, if only until I've had my surgery and have completely recovered. And after that? We'll see.. Food abuse is instilled during childhood, it's incredibly hard to change. For alcohol abuse we accept that abstaining is the right thing to do. Can't do that with food, so we need some help. If these meds work with minimal side effects, and people are genuinely having a benefit, why not?

Oh gotcha. I'm really sorry to hear that and hopefully your recovery goes well. >If these meds work with minimal side effects, and people are genuinely having a benefit, why not? I suppose that is true! It's been my experience that if something is too good to be true, then it often is. I hope I'm wrong here though.

Why do we accept it for alcohol but not for food? If someone could invent a drug for avoiding alcohol consumption, why wouldn’t an alcoholic use it?

  It exists. Naltrexone. Amazing drug.

  Because abstaining from food will eventually lead to starvation and death.
