So one of the possible side effects of Mirapex is that you engage in obsessive behaviours. For many that means eating, gambling, or other things.

It looks like for me I'm obsessing over how long I can go without eating. I've been reducing how much I eat and going for long periods without eating for a few weeks now and I have been losing weight.

It's really strange but I feel good if I can go an extra hour beyond the last time I ate. And when I do have something, it's really little.

I have to take my Latuda with 350 calories of food so I eat exactly that for dinner after nine to ten hours of not eating.

I've also become obsessed with an online activity that doesn't involve money. But it uses lots of time. I start as soon as I get home in the evening and go until I have to go to bed, which can be 4-5 hours straight. I could be spending the time with my family or doing something else.

Both of these things make me feel good - something I have been seeking out for a long time due to my long depression. But they're turning out to be bad for me.

I'm hoping both of these things will pass as I get used to Mirapex.
