Yes it is mechanistically possible but like you might just be feeling flat from eating less lol

I feel like it’s pretty unlikely or be a placebo. Isn’t a drug dampening ur reward system directly influencing how flat u feel?

It’s not placebo. The blunting of dopamine from food crosses paths with other releases of dopamine in the hypothalamus. Some people are just more sensitive to it

Yea I have adhd, so I already have low dopamine. The Reta amplified that even more

Same
When I first used Reta, I felt great but now being on and off for over a year, the dopamine levels are scraping the barrel
That was the end of the thread
