About 6 months into the treatment, aside from weight loss, I stopped biting my nails for the first time in my whole life. I also started shopping less and eventually completely stopped playing The Sims. I knew these side effects were a possibility and I welcomed them. I know it helps some people with alcohol consumption and gambling.

But I've been weaning off the drug and, after a few months, even though I've stayed in my target weight and my eating habits have managed to remain balanced, intuitive and mostly healthy, I see an increase in impulse spending again, I've gone back to biting my nails on occasion, and now I've been feeling like loading up The Sims again.

(Not that there's anything wrong with playing a videogame. But I did use to spend a lot of money on DLC and could spend 3 days building a house while neglecting sleep, food and bathroom breaks.)

Has anyone experienced anything similar with certain habits returning after quitting or lowering the dose? Has anyone managed to keep the habits at bay?

The only part I didn't like about episode 6 was the scene after the seance being so light in tone (it got better when Armand showed up because his hair looks so good), although I kinda could see the reason for it? Now, I'm not gonna lie, Jacob and Sam'd enthusiasm and perspective on it is making me come around to it a little more too.

We had our fan meetup yesterday. I was aching to talk to people in person about this show and it was beautiful. Great conversation was had, lunch was shared and lots of freebies were exchanged. I'll share a few pictures. About 35 of us attended, but there's almost double that in the group chat, where we've been discussing the S3 premiere and efforts to let AMC know they have an audience in MX so maybe they'll bring the cast for ccxp next year.
