I'm also taking it, and I get the point about being on other meds forever, so why not this one. The difference here is that it's not tested for lifelong use. I'd be happy to take it forever, and I sort of feel like what it is doing is simply leveling my hormone levels or sugar levels to where they are supposed to be--which suggests that it's better to be on it than not on it. But it makes me nervous that it is so new and we've not seen a generation take it 'forever.'
Weight loss drugs work. Only thing that worked for me.

I am interested in Wegovy but I am afraid that I would be on it forever or I would gain the weight back.

Why be afraid of that? I’m not afraid I’ll use my glasses or my allergy medicine forever. Though to be honest, I never took the highest dose and take .5 (the 2nd smallest dose, of 5 possible doses) every 2 weeks. I’m fine if I take that for a long time
