MODERATORS
I feel that whatever I’m focused on is what the medication amplifies for me. I don’t have that type of sensation that you’re getting OP, but if I’m wanting something it does enhance that to be a bit more a need for me.
I find that putting something else that I could like, in front of me, helps to placates my cravings though. So I might want to eat sweets or play games all day for instance, but if I put something else in front of myself I can get absorbed in that other thing such as reading or a hobby of mine.
