The food noise went quiet at week 3 — sharing my experience
Took me closer to week 5 before the chatter dropped, and the weird part was I only noticed it while grocery shopping and not planning the next meal the whole time. Did the quiet stick around for you or come and go?
Mine crept up slower, more like week 5, and the first thing I noticed was reaching for a snack out of habit and then just... Not wanting it. Weirdly anticlimactic when it happens.
Mine stayed loud well past week 3, it was more like week 5 before my head stopped narrating every meal. On 5mg now and it's quieter but not totally gone, I still catch myself mentally planning dinner at lunch sometimes
Mine took closer to week 5 and I'm on a different med entirely, so the timing clearly isn't one-size-fits-all. The grocery store thing is real though, I walked past the chip aisle last week without even slowing down and only noticed after.
Mine came later, more like week 6, and it was the drive home from work that got quiet first. Weird how it hits in random places instead of all at once.
Mine was closer to week 5, and the weird part was the quiet hit hardest in the car. Used to be every drive past a drive-thru was a debate with myself. Now I just keep driving.
Mine came later, more like week 5, but that grocery store thing is exactly how it showed up for me. I used to loop the aisles looking for something to want and now I just grab what's on the list and go.
Mine crept up more gradual than a clean week 3 switch, more like week five before the background hum dropped. Did the quiet stay steady for you after that or does it come and go on certain days?
Mine was closer to week 5 and it came on gradual, not overnight. The odd part was noticing it only when I caught myself mid-evening with zero urge to check the fridge
idk, the evening pantry orbit is exactly how I noticed it too, and mine didn't really settle until closer to week 5. Weirdly the quiet hit hardest on the nights I'd usually graze through a Billings snowstorm.
Mine was more gradual, no single switch-flip week, but the after-dinner grazing quietly stopped somewhere in there without me deciding anything. Curious whether yours held steady once it kicked in or came and went for a bit
honestly mine didn't go fully quiet until somewhere past week 4, and the first thing I noticed was that I could walk past the breakroom table at work without my brain narrating it. The chatter fading in stages rather than all at once caught me off guard.
Mine was later, maybe week 6, but that drive-by test is real. The Boise Fred Meyer bakery used to pull me in every time and now I walk past without even clocking it
Mine was closer to week 6 and the first thing I noticed was grocery shopping got boring, which sounds weird but I'd wander aisles with nothing pulling at me.
Week 3 here too and mine is more like the volume got turned down a notch rather than off. Still catching myself thinking about lunch at 10am but it's easier to let it go
Week 3 was when I stopped planning my whole day around the next meal, so that timing lines up for me too. Only a few pounds in so far but the quiet itself feels like the win.
The drive home thing is real for me too, that used to be where I did all my dinner planning and now its just radio.
