[b]This forum pumps these drugs like you should pop them like candy.  [/b]Has anyone on these drugs noticed any disturbed thoughts you didn't have before you were on them? [/quote]

No, they don’t. There are reasoned discussions of trade offs. You just say this because you’re one of the posters who is furious that it turns out that obesity isn’t a moral failing (since it can be remediated with a weekly shot now), and you are lashing out angrily as a result and searching desperately for any reason to lash out at the drugs further. You should seek help for your own glaring emotional struggles rather than this sad hobby.

The article you linked said that three people had reported thoughts of self-harm. Three. [/quote]

Europe is investigating 150 cases, not 3.

“The review of Ozempic, Saxenda and Wegovy started on 3 July 2023 and [b]has now been extended to include other GLP-1 receptor agonists[/b]. This review is expected to conclude in November 2023.”
So if my research is correct, exenatide (Byetta), liraglutide (Saxenda), lixisenatide (Lyxumia in the EU, Adlyxin in the US), dulaglutide (Trulicity), and semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy). That’s a few more drugs than just semaglutide, and since it’s gone from 3 cases to 150 in the expansion of the study, it would suggest that it’s one of these other GLP-1 agonists that is causing a problem or perhaps causes a problem when used in tandem with another drug.

God forbid you introduce facts. The anti-Wegovy posters would lose their minds. [/quote]
I’m the op you’re replying to and I’m glad Europe is checking it out if it’s legit come to their attention, but Ozempic has been available since 2017. It’s not a new-new drug untested by anyone.

You can hear people all but smacking their lips in excitement at this news of possible mental health side effects. These people, for all they have posted on here for years about how they don’t want to shame anyone for being fat, they’re just concerned about how unhealthy fat is. Now that people have a real tool for weight loss, they’re very concerned about that, too.[/quote]
I’m the *pp, not the *op.[/quote]
