There are actual anti-drugs that have the opposite effect as their drug counterparts!

Pharmaceutical researchers have realized that smoking weed gives people the munchies, so logically they decided that deactivating the receptors in the brain responsible for getting high would give you anti-munchies. They took a long time to think this up. They tested a drug that took the action of reverse munchies and found that it was incredibly effective. The drug was approved in Europe and appeared to be one of the best weight-loss drugs in history.

Rimonabant is inexpensive, effective, and totally nonaddicting. Unfortunately, in addition to giving users anti-munchies it was found to have a prominent side effect called anti-happiness, aka suicidal depression. In the months following the drug’s clinical trials, there were over 70 patients displaying signs of suicidal thoughts, two completed suicides, a host of seizures, precipitated multiple sclerosis, domestic abuse, and a man who strangled his daughter. All in all, the “side effects” weren’t really worth people losing a few pounds.
