[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I haven’t read the rest of the thread. I assume is is filled with the usual angry white women who are incandescent with rage over the existence of GPLP-1 agonists because they experience the idea that weight could be managed with medication as a grave narcissistic injury? I don’t have the energy to wade through their furious screeching.

However, some facts: litigation is typical in the US after the introduction of new drugs, particularly new drugs with widespread use. It is also expected that as drug use grows, some side effects will be discovered. These drugs have been around for some time and used successfully for diabetics, however, and seem to be the most successful on a class of obese people who resemble diabetics, so I imagine the side effects will be similar. But we will see. The law firm in this case isn’t a very respected one, and my guess is this is a cash grab more than anything.

Also I’m not on Ozempic (glancing up I see someone asked that). I don’t need it, either. I have very little patience for the psychologically damaged people who are irrationally angry about this class of drugs, however. [/quote]

I read almost the entire thread, and I just don't see where anybody who questions the use of these drugs is angry. Help me understand your misperception, and why legitimate questions make you so angry. Especially when you claim you don't use them.[/quote]

DP who has read the thread, and nobody can make you see what you don't want to see. What I see is a bunch of posts from people who don't take these drugs (or need them, it seems) saying that people are starving themselves, that people need to get off their asses, and that it's better to be overweight than take meds. All of those comments are unhinged.

What I don't see in this thread are "legitimate questions" being asked. In fact I see no questions being asked.

Instead I see a lot of jumping to conclusions about patients not weighing the risks, as if only the anti-med PPs are capable of doing so. I see nobody asking if the patients taking this drug are under the care of a doctor, and if so what risks they've been informed of. I see nobody asking whether it was easy or hard to actually get an Rx, or whether the patient is obese, or what medical issues they had because of obesity and whether those are resolved now. Basically, a complete lack of interest in the experience of people actually taking the medicine. [/quote]

Good analysis. Be prepared for the fury from the angry narcissists, though. [/quote]
