Funny. As a kid I had a dream that instead of eating I could just take a pill to give me everything I needed. I hated eating.

I long for those days. Calling my doctor now.
 
Only things I need to control my weight, heart health and dopamine levels are an internet connection and my right hand.

Antivaxxers were sort of right about one thing! not being obese is probably more protective to viruses than a vaccine. Weight and age are the 2 largest predictors of health outcomes from viruses. Next is probably vax status or some sort of prior immunity.

sounds like they'd need a psychiatrist to get the dosage right.

I mean maybe. But we're talking about proper administration of the drug here, not those patients or doctors who abuse it. If you plateau at a weight that is still considered obese, you're gonna likely increase the dose as long as the side effects are tolerable because obviously you are not at a healthy regulation of appetite baseline and the food noise is still elevated enough for you to eat an excessive amount of calories and as a result, continue to have a comorbidity that is the biggest killer in the world.

If you plateau at 160 lbs and your doctor levels you up, then yeah that's an issue. But that's an issue with all drugs. Shit like that happens. As a patient you have a responsibility to not be dumb too.

fine take your magic pill, zomebieboy.
 
I'm not taking it. It's not meant for me. It's meant for people who are controlled by food and have dangerously high health risks. That's it. Any other benefit is conjecture at this point and is still being studied. The risk to reward for people with life expectancies that are 10+ years lower than people at healthy weights = no brainer.
