Why quotation marks around loss?

Why does it feel like recommending meth? Are they similar in addiction and harmful effects?

Because the loss is very limited, and most people regain after stopping medication. As discussed in the other thread, within about a year or so there's already a two thirds rebound, and patients don't see as much health improvement as through exercice for instance.
And my cholesterol goes back up when I stop taking statins. I don’t get this very common argument.
