Actually yes. Not as much as with ADHD medication, but obvious subset of addictive personalities that have relief from addictive behaviors (beyond eating addiction) with semiglutide.

Appropriately enough, (most) ADHD medications also tend to suppress appetites. So much so that weight loss is perhaps the most serious side effect for ADHD meds in children.

Yea, it's specifically warned against. Kids will just plain forget to eat on ADHD meds, which is kinda bad.

I could never eat lunch or sometimes dinner if I took it. I gained like 30 healthy pounds after stopping it at the end of my teens.
