I know from working in the substance abuse field, people often swap one addiction for another. Many individuals already have some level of a compulsive disorder, so it makes sense that someone who compulsively overeats could compulsively take these drugs and then develop a physical dependence. But on the "Phenpro" site the doctor said most overweight people aren't addictive prone in terms of behaviors ( most overweight people aren't alcoholics, drug addicts, compulsive gamblers, etc.). But it's good information to have.
