I agree that there does seem to be some chemical imbalance that causes our TG desires or cravings and it is quite possible that some psychopharmacological drugs will eliminate the cravings, but at what long term cost?
After reviewing Robert Whitaker's book Anatomy of an Epidemic I refuse to take psychopharmacological drugs. If you don't have the desire or time to read it Dr. Pam Popper does an in-depth 10 part video review of the book where she explains the info contained in the various chapters and the scientific studies behind the conclusions. Here is part 1.
Of course you can listen to any Robert Whitaker's lectures (here's one) found on Youtube. It seems some psychopharmacological drug use leads to more psychopharmacological drug use. This ultimately leads to more folks disabled due to mental illness not fewer.
That said I'm willing to take a chance with the introduction of basic hormones to address these cravings. It may or may not be better than psychopharmacological drugs but at least the drug I am using (estradiol) is specifically found in nature to address my exact cravings in half of the population. I think PM acts very much in the same manner.
I don't know why we cycle, but I don't think psychopharmacological drugs are the answer.
