Well I will mention that for 1/2 of the dieting I was on Belviq which is a selective SSRI (so not exactly the same thing but the same idea).

That being said I developed heart palpitations after about 5 weeks and my doctor told me to get off. I did get off for about 5 more weeks before I stopped dieting. It was only then I felt bummed out. I believe, because I enjoyed the rush of losing weight. It was something to look forward to.

I weirdly find dieting sort of ok. My body seems to get more energy (not less) and I usually feel like the act of dieting along helps me get in control of my life. I can see how it can develop into an eating disorder.
