For those who take stimulants, why do they make everything taste so bland and gross?

High dopamine—>tricks brain into thinking you’ve eaten If you take your stimulant before eating, you won’t get the same dopamine rush that you usually get from eating, which means it’ll cause your brain to think eating is boring and unappealing, making food seem bland, gross, etc.

they never said they didn’t need them & you can set alarms to eat so you can get meals in even if you’re not particularly hungry. unless you’re taking a stimulant that doesn’t work for you or taking it too late in the day, it’s not gonna mess up your sleep schedule lol

I wouldn’t be taking them if I didn’t need them man… I would genuinely drop out and kill myself if I didn’t have my meds
