depleted dopamine

Question
I had gained about 50 lbs from medication I had to take but have been unsuccessful at getting it off.  My doctors even tried Meridia, phentermine, etc.  They say my dopamine levels (controls satiety) are permanently depleted.  Whatever that means.  I don't like much food (I really wish I did) and I don't like my life to evolve around food like it does when you diet.  I've never been this heavy and am extremely uncomfortable and it only creates more stress on my back which is why I take meds in the first place.  The only "diet" that ever worked for me was taking Fasten under a dr. supervision after I gained a few "comfy" pounds when I met my husband.  It worked like a miracle and permanently changed the way I saw food (until this latest episode that is).  I never looked so good but the dr. is retired and I haven't been able to find the same meds that I took back then.  Am I a lost cause?

Answer
Hi Cynthia,

I was in almost exactly the same situation in '89  - back making it painful to move so I exercised less, blood sugar dropping to pass out point every couple of hours so I ate more, which put on more weight which aggrevated back pain - and a fat doctor telling me to "just eat less and move more". Whatever worked for you before didn't really if it didn't last. Please see http://www.premiumfuel.com for what I came up with to lose and make it last.
