[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In someone on a GLP1. OP is onto something but it can’t ever be OTC.  DH and I both take a different brand for medical reasons, insurance  covered after years of weight issues and several other health problems.  Yes, we tired to lose weight for years.  We only did this after other major health concerns.

We have regular doctor visits.  I also see a nutritionist.  It isn’t just stick a shot in us and we lose weight.   We have had different side effects.

But it has been life changing.  And I can see how it could help with other addictions since I used to drink so much coffee and can barely drink 2 small cups now.  [/quote]

Agreed. I am in very early recovery after 20 years of dealing with anorexia nervosa and am therefore in the category of people who should never be given access to GLP-1s. I've accepted that these drugs are out of reach for me because no marginally sane doctor would give me a prescription with that diagnosis in my medical records; I can't be trusted with it. OTC access would be a disaster for all the undiagnosed out there. [/quote]

I’m glad you aren’t in recovery and wish you luck. Thank you for responding to my post.  I want others to read how many on these drugs are actively working with nutritionists and doctors.  At least they should be if they are going to any reputable doctor for a legit weight loss reason.  These drugs can be dangerous, like any drug, if taken wrong.  [/quote]
