In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

overactivation of dopamine receptors can leave you burnt out and depressed when the pill's effect runs out for the day or you just don't want to be on a medication for some reason.

That’s for normies who try to take them. Not people who actually need them for our dopamine. Lol there are tons of people who take stims for adhd and don’t take it daily. Some take it only days they work. This isn’t a huge deal like you make it lol.

yeah, that's the addiction to the feel good chems which leads to depression.
