Not really. Dopamine starving is something I've always done. I'm not sure about the science behind it, but it works wonders for me. All pleasure has a law of diminishing returns, you need some sort of build-up of dopamine in your brain for it to work properly again, otherwise you chase higher yielding dopamine activity (because of tolerance) and that's unhealthy.
I've often found myself doom-scrolling, snacking too much, or vaping more than I should be. I've also found myself eating the same comfort food with no pleasure attached to it, it was just mindless snacking and my dopamine 'buildup' was diminished.
