[quote=Anonymous]I’m not that PP but I see no reason why you would not continue on semaglutide as a many-year or permanent medication. Personally I think it is crazy that it’s being marketed as a medication only for while people are losing weight. That defies common sense. Listen to the patient experiences: on semaglutide they don’t have constant cravings, they don’t have the drive to eat all the time, they feel satiated, etc. For some of them, that’s the first time in the lives that they’ve ever had that experience, e.g. the experience of a “normal” weight person. It’s incomprehensible to me that doctors can hear that but then expect people to go off the medication and not regain.

The problem I see with lifelong or permanent semaglutide is that it is a dopamine inhibitor, and it can be associated with depression as a result. It also stimulates the pancreatic function so pancreatic function and thyroid has to be monitored. Long term use has to be closely monitored in general. But people who are SMO are already lifetime medical patients as they already have a medically disordered system. I see no reason why a medication that has literally lifesaving impact should be stopped. [/quote]
