Does eating cause a dopamine rush? I wonder if I’m trying to fix my dopamine issues with food.

Maybe, never thought about that. But its not clinically significant otherwise raising dopamine by eating would have caused psychosis lol

But is it significant enough to compel me to keep eating when it’s not otherwise beneficial?

My psychology teacher used to say that we eat our emotions. Ppl eat more from stress.

I eat when I’m bored too and when I’m feeling stressed.

I’ve lost about 8 pounds. I’m losing 2 pounds a week. I would like to be losing double that. But at least I’m not gaining anymore. So I guess it’s working. I’m still hungry a lot but I can control myself most of the time. I keep it to 1200 calories a day usually.

What is the med?

Idk he said they’re experimental and not covered by insurance. Didn’t ask him. I prefer that my pdr prescribe them and not my family Dr as he’s not a psychiatrist.
