Maintenance: "the potion wears off, so you need more"

Hi everyone, I thought it would be nice to collect stories/comics/etc centered around a specific theme. I'm thinking of when a desirable change starts to wear off after a while, so that the woman has to repeat whatever it was that caused the change in the first place. For example, casting a new youth spell every month lest she grows old again, taking another magic diet pill lest the fat returns, or stealing new strength from someone.

This is somewhat related to the slingshot effect, except that the reversal doesn't necessarily go crazy in the opposite direction; it can just wear off. So it needs to be maintained on a regular basis. It may lead to addiction, but it doesn't have to.

Here are some contributions, to get things started. Next to each contribution i list the *initial* process, not the opposite process that occurs when it wears off.
