[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say depression and ADHD combined.  [/quote]

Also, as someone in a similar boat, GLP-1 meds have been lifesaving to me.  They enabled me to lose weight and beat depression.  I'm not sure why, but I have been SSRI free for the first time in 20 years.  I feel much better in so many ways. I don't know if you can have that type of conversation with her, but it might be useful to explore.  Not just for weight loss, but for an overall wellness improvement.  To me, the mental health benefits are the real success.  I love being able to lose weight, but I am so grateful for feeling more like myself. [/quote]

Omg I started a GLP-1 6 weeks ago and my depression is the best it's been as long as I can remember. I've been thinking of tapering down my SSRI and anti anxiety meds but I haven't taken the plunge yet.

Are you planning to go off GLP-1?

I am prediabetic and insulin resistant so I'm not sure I will ever go off but if I did I assume I'd need to be on the meds again.[/quote]

I am insulin resistant as well.  I was doing fabulously on Zepbound and Caremark pulled it out from under my feet.  Wegovy is working but not as well.  I also work with a registered dietitian.   I have lost 55 pounds but need to lose about 25 more.

I worked with my doctor to stop the SSRIs.  It's been over a year now.  I still feel great.

I don't think I will ever stop taking it, but I do hope to get to a point where I could do injections every couple of weeks instead of every week.  At a lower dose too.  Wishing you the best with this.  It truly can be such a health enhancement for so many people. [/quote]
