[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse had a recent work lunch with guy who lost a ton of weight on ozempic the last 12 mos.

My spouse over eats, over drinks, over snacks, over works and doesn’t exercise- unless it’s his one of his 1-2 hyper focuses like in grad school. Some overeating and impulse eating is due to his untreated ADHD.

Now he’s hellbent on paying $1k a month to “get in shape” forever.

Worse, I had him cover an urgimed visit for sick kid two days ago with my doctor, and he asked about. That doc loved it for diabetics and said it makes you digest slowly, always feel full, it’s great, come back!

Now DH is telling everyone we see he’s going to do it. He doesn’t read news so hasn’t read about it the last couple years. Can’t believe it took one lunch with a work industry colleague for him to jump on the bandleader.

Pros? Cons?  Does it help ADHD and (eating) stims?[/quote]

I'm morbidly obese and using metformin.  It does the same thing - slows down digestion, regulates insulin much better.  I don't have stabbing hunger all day and I don't have the shakes from low blood sugar.  It gives me more self control to regulate what I eat.

With both, you still must watch what you eat and exercise.  Perhaps metform, which is an off label use if you don't have diabetes, might be a good starting point.  And an appointment with a dietitian, or medically supervised with something like Noom Med.  It's not magic.  But it's a tool.

Metformin is super cheap and there are no shortages. [/quote]

I have diabetes and metformin made me violently ill. [/quote]
