?? Why do you say this? I don't care. I have fat loved ones who I WISH would try these meds for their health but they aren't interested. A healthier population is good for everyone.

I bet there are ways to combat regaining the weight and those who regained quickly didn't have that support. I would not let this stop me from taking it and more people should take it based on our country's stats.

NP and not on GLP, is this safe? To use it as needed? How do you get a scrip for that?

There is an assumption that people are angry bitter about quick weight loss that doesn't involve blood sweat and tears but I think many have sacrificed enough already so it doesn't make sense to care. I think when people point out any negatives, others accuse them of being spiteful but I suspect that is not actually a mainstream opinion.

This doesn’t sound like you take it for a medical condition prescribed by a physician. It sounds like you take it for vanity convenience.

This is not remotely the same experience as those who have true medical conditions where their bodies don’t process insulin the same way most people do.

Please get over it.

Some people will be on the medication for a few months or a few years. Some who stop will regain weight. Some who stop will maintain their weight. Others will stay on the medication for life. None of these 3 groups has ANY IMPACT on you or your life. Carry on with whatever you want to do to maintain your own weight and your own health.

The problem is that most people don't plan to stay on it for life, and most people do regain the weight. And they do impact my life directly - one of these people is a family member whose health is impacted, and it also impacts the cost of health insurance and, because some government worker plans cover these drugs, the money available to fund public services.

If however you use GLP-1 is working for you and improving your health, I have zero problem with it and I think any costs I pay via insurance/taxes are worth that. My problem is the use of a very expensive drug in ways that cause more harm than good.

That’s like saying people don’t plan on ever taking insulin for the rest of their life.

Or statins

Or blood pressure medicine

This is a life-saving medication that people will be on their lives like many other medication’s

Three quarters of people stop it within 2 years. [b]My relative developed back pain after he stopped taking it because he regained the weight so quickly.

Three of four patients stop taking Ozempic or Wegovy two years after being prescribed the blockbuster drugs for weight loss, a new analysis shows.

Conducted by Prime Therapeutics and Magellan Rx Management (MRx), the review sifted through pharmacy and medical claims data for 3,364 people with insurance plans that cover the GLP-1 drugs. Patients had received new prescriptions between January and December 2021, and all were diagnosed with obesity.

I think people are annoyed with the posters here who are like "I weighed 120 and I am using it to maintain at 105" but no one begrudges actually obese people from getting healthy with this. It's a miracle for them.

It’s as if dialog is forbidden entirely. Never question anything.

Turns out that’s the opposite of the entire way the human race has moved itself forward. Absolutely nothing wrong with considering the downsides (of which there are many).

Don’t you understand- once “skinny” becomes a mass commodity, beauty standards will change yet again to something that’s unattainable for most women.

If you have high blood pressure and go off your meds, your blood pressure will rise.

If you are on obesity meds and go off your meds, your weight will rise.

This is simple. No one cares except you apparently.

People are still better off with less weight, for any amount of time. Their body will still benefit from being 200lbs instead of 300lbs, even if they gain it back eventually.

Why are they annoyed? It's literally none of their business. It's not their body and it doesn't impact them in any way.

I couldn't care less about any beauty standards. This medication allowed me to get off three other medications and lose 70 lbs.
