Interfering with the reward system is very dicey at best and problematic and worrisome at worst. Okay? And these drugs have virtually the same effects. Now we haven't heard about the suicides, but we have heard about the depression. We also have the problem of the fact that these drugs delay gastric emptying. Stomach basically does not move the food through the intestine fast enough. And that's one of the reasons why you stop eating is because your stomach's still full because you haven't actually digested what you ate before. Well, that's a good reason for why you stop eating, but that's not good because number one, you get nausea, two, you get vomiting, three, you get dehydration because you're not taking in enough water. And four, you. It's a relatively rare occurrence. It's about 1 to 2%. But gastroparesis, stomach turns to stone. And worse yet, when you stop the drug, the gastroparesis doesn't get better.
