Sister needs weight loss jabs but doesn’t qualify

Isn't it illegal to give prescribed meds to another person?
Don't be an idiot.

What you are proposing is illegal you can’t give a prescribed medication to someone

Ridiculous idea OP.
she would benefit more from a therapist who specialises in food addiction/eating disorders otherwise the noise will still be there in a months time when you aren’t giving her your medication anymore.

That is not how they work at all

Is this for real? She needs councelling not jabs.
Sounds like you have both suffered with food issues....were your parents funny about food etc? Try to find the root cauae ( easier said than done I know).

We have rules about responsible prescribing. I'm sure people find ways round but not having any kind of checks is crazy

Not a legal one

She sounds like she needs therapy, not a jab.

Here in Australia you can get the script online with no photos or checks you just state our weight and height etc. Is there a service like that in the UK she could use?

I have always thought it would be amazing if this could be used for anorexia.

I’m sorry but this is the stupidest thread I’ve read on here for ages.

you says your sister is slim, has food noise and just wants to step off the hamster wheel for a while?

welcome to life sweetie, choose your hard if you want something you have to work to maintain it. Taking the jabs will only make her thinner it won’t maintain her current weight, it might cause other health issues and if something happens to her because you’ve given her the jabs could you live with yourself?

I seriously hope you locate your common sense.

I’m not sure what answer you were anticipating when you came to a public forum and asked whether we think redistributing prescription medicine without a licence is a good idea. Note, it’s not legal.
If she has a bad reaction to the drug & it’s fatal, you will have to live with that emotionally (and the guilt noise will be louder than any food noise), and you will be answerable to the coroner and eventually the police. Or maybe in the other order.

Virtually everyone gets ‘food noise’. Why do you think people are so upset about the jabs? It isn’t because they are breezing through life being naturally slim. It doesn’t justify you illegally supplying prescription drugs because you feel sorry for them.

'Food noise' is such a ridiculous term.

From someone who has lost and kept off 16 stone, we all have 'noise' that we control with discipline, distraction or other coping mechanisms.

Her using distraction is fine. It doesn't make her tormented or whatever. It makes her a healthy adult using coping mechanisms so that she doesn't do something else not healthy for her.

The fact she is slim, despite the life long 'noise' shows that her coping skills are working with the desired effect.

Maybe she needs to change how she eats. For example, I know if I eat Shreddies for breakfast, I’m hungry by 10am, but by eating porridge, I can last longer. She needs to up her protein at every meal. It’s ti do with the glycemic index of food.

Can’t believe what I’ve just read!

Non-stop cravings?

Yes, they haven't dealt with the emotional attachment to the addiction.

Take the time to learn relaxation techniques, yoga, distractions, daily reminders, while you're on the jab, if you have to come off it, you'll be prepared.

If most people admitted that it was an addiction and dealt with the addiction through OA or similar they're much more likely to overcome the obsession.

Like every addiction when you fall off the wagon, it's much harder to get back on, the fix doubles to make up for lost time, you've to hold on with both hands, constantly conscious of the consequences if you slip.

It gets easier with time. Learned this in NA. 🤭

I'm taking this medication. Many people have said that if they stop taking it cold turkey the food noise comes back worse than before.

Has she tried doing keto, that really helps me with cravings, and obsessive thoughts about food. That might give her a break for a bit if it works for her.

What are the reasons she dosnt qualify? This would be my biggest issue. I have a friend who wanted me to do similar, I personally felt she didn’t need them but my main reasoning was she had to many health issues I was not going to be responsible if something happened to her. In the end I was able to convince her the dangers with her health.

I personally would do it in your situation but only if you and DSis had done all the checks on her health and made sure there wasn’t something that would clash with the drug.

Also be careful as the food noise can come back even stronger, mine came back with a vengeance when I stopped last time and when you start retaking you may not have the same effects you’ve had after taking a break.

@LeopardPants I suffer from wine noise too, but like the OP’s (possibly mythical) sister, I can ignore it.

I did have cheesecake noise today though and I gave into it. 😂

I do suffer a lot of wine noise 😭 it’s debilitating

I am going to be rude here but you are an idiot

the jabs are not meant for people who are a healthy weight which she is, she will lose more weight, and what happens in two months when you have put weight back on, which you will do, she has lost more which is not good and doesn’t want to stop the jabs?

The noise you talk about will simply start again

she needs to go and see a Dr and get an appointment for eating disorder help, thereby, whatever to help her control but not the jabs you are ridiculous

Yeah, crack on. It's a fucking brilliant idea. Get her 'jabbing up every week' with the girls. Maybe you could get her some heroin too, cheer her up a bit?
