I understand it’s being misused by people who don’t need it, particularly in the entertainment industry. But I’m almost 400 lbs and my eating is worse than it’s ever been and I’m just in desperate need to rid myself of this obsession with always eating more no matter what. Does anyone here have any experience with it? I’ve heard it just works by making you nauseous but I’ve read elsewhere that that’s just a common side effect. At this point I’m nauseous most of the time anyway.

putting it on the pile of things that might someday get me to go through the hassle of getting a new PCP. real race between that and somebody from a better country helping me do some visa fraud.

Yeah it's pretty cheap in other countries. They made a sleep apnea version as a pretty transparent workaround to force insurance to cover it for people without diabetes. The manufacturer coupons also really help. Insurance can be very fucking annoying about it but so far they have paid for it. At one point they fucked me and delayed it several days and I had to pay full price and get reimbursed via check a few weeks later.
