I am always surprised when I am reminded of people who use amphetamine meds off-label for weight loss, because even though I don’t have an appetite while I’m taking them, there’s always a few hours before bed after they wear off when I can’t stop myself from eating everything in the pantry.
I think that’s pretty common.
It’s definitely a dopamine thing for me because it’s not just food. Some nights I’ll stay up late looking for a distraction that scratches that itch, even though I’m exhausted.
