[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and the doctor was really happy I’d lost weight and my #s were good a year later. But still wouldn’t write a prescription. [/quote]

This is because they know that, somewhere down the line, there are going to be massive lawsuits when we begin to see what these drugs are really doing to people’s long term health. [/quote]

Please go away with your ignorant wishful thinking. I have had my cardiologist and my primary doctor tell me that these drugs are only going to gain traction in treating many different things off label as well as for weight loss. They are pretty much a miracle drug. [/quote]

New poster. I don’t disagree with you. I think that they can be really great for many people.

However, there’s a reason why it needs to be managed with your own personal physician vs online doc. They need to take blood tests to make sure you’re on track with the meds. The impact needs to be seen in person if you are not looking well a doc in a box is not going to know that.

Some people’s bodies are not managing these drugs well. Sometimes that’s because the folks aren’t doing the things they need to to work with the medicine like hydrating, moving their body enough and getting the right nutrition.

Others are having significant improvement beyond just weight loss.

It’s all a balance.

Yes, of course. Anything you put in your body can have an adverse effect and your doctor should know about.

My MIL takes all kinds of supplements she "researches" online and claims help her with this and that. They aren't regulated of course but somehow she trusts that and her research more than her doctors. She ended up in the hospital because of a severe interaction they had while she was taking them.
