I read this out of concern for friends on it - one friend has lost a ton of weight, but her skin is so saggy and even exercising it still looks weird and she's also depressed. Another friend has lost weight but seems ok emotionally.
I personally have suffered food noise my whole life and have recovered from eating disorders by doing things the healthy way - so i agree with you, it's a curious drug but Id be terrified to take it.
Good on you for overcoming your food noise the health way. And most importantly, the change you have created in your brain is lasting and durable (and not drug dependent).
