    They seem to be catching on, I see adds for them quite often in my social media accounts (I get ads targeted at physicians because of the posts I make related to Alpha-1)

    Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

      They seem to work too. My understanding is that they work by acting on the brain circuits for satiety and hunger.

      Big results - but as with things like statins and blood pressure meds, you have to keep taking them or the effect goes away.

      I think they're like $10K per year right now.

      Source: listened to a podcast recently.

        I took Bupropion to help me quit smoking. It worked well, but it sure made me feel weird. The idea of taking it all the time isn't very appealing, however I guess people do for depression. It presumably beats the alternative feeling.

        I was only joking
