I don't know. Some medicines have been linked to over eating. They are called dopamine agonists, one is pramipexole
I used to have quite the issue with overeating, especially since I had no idea how much calories were in certain foods. I see, did you also have a compulsive consumption of high fat and sugar foods? Yeah, they're so much easier to access than before since sweet foods are thought of by the body as occasional treats. Okay, and did you also depend on the food as comfort when stressed or depressed or feeling helpless? Yeah, when I felt stressed or depression. I managed to overcome it but are there programs out there to help those who wish to? Yes, are you aware of Overeaters Anonymous? It and others are 12-step programs that help overeaters. No I have not, I think they're not talked about nearly as a drug or alcohol program. Although I heard some people use drugs too is that true?
In some instances, overeating has been linked to the use of medications known as dopamine agonists, such as pramipexole.
