I wonder if it lowers desire for sex as well, or ambition, I am sure more studies are coming.
I feel that a lot of discussion is by people who have never taken ozempic or have and are successful with its treatment. For what it’s worth, I’d like to give some insight to my own experience with it and why I’m not on it.
I won’t talk about all my medical issues, but to make it very broad - I have type 2 and a genetic disorder regarding my ability to metabolize. I was put on a trial of ozempic because of its apparent effectiveness.
While on it, one of the first things I noticed that no one seems to talk about (so I don’t know if it’s just me or not): the feeling of being sated and hungry are two different feelings. It was weird being hungry and full all the time. A bit torturous, but something I felt was manageable.
Unfortunately, even on the lowest dosage, the sated feeling was so strong I felt nauseous all the time. It eventually became a problem when I started becoming dehydrated because I couldn’t even keep a glass of water down.
I was removed from the medication and I had persistent side-effects afterwards. It’s been years now and while the side effects have diminished, I still get random bouts of nausea for no apparent reason. It’s unrelated to when I eat or drink, but it’s something I’ve never experienced prior to being on ozempic.
As weird as it sounds, there are some days I wish I could go back on ozempic. It is effective, but now doctors know I retained some side effects, they won’t let me try it ever again.
And I guess that’s it. Nothing too horrible I guess, but even miracle drugs have side effects. Everyone is built differently, so there will always be outliers.
they’re less thirsty, less heavy, less happy, less attractive, less wealthy, less strong, less resilient, less hopeful, less honest…
it truly IS a miracle losing drug!
Why did you post this exact, inane comment in two threads?
You’re just a bigot looking for people to hate.
You’ve gone your whole life convinced that you have a moral superiority to people fatter than you are. That YOU have the knowledge. That YOU know what a healthy diet is, and they don’t. That YOU have more willpower than the slobs who have a hundred pounds on you.
But really all it is, is that you were born lucky. Or you got lucky in the foods you were exposed to in early childhood. Your satiation reflex gives you a hunger level that keeps you at a weight below that of the obese people you take such pride in denigrating. But if you were to receive the same reflex they do, you would quickly find yourself at the same weight they are.
And now, thanks to the miracles of modern medicine, we have invented a way to cure these people. We have discovered the means to help millions, to extend lifespans and healthspans by decades.
And you can’t stand it.
Because, now all those evil fat people are going to be a healthy weight again. And how will you know who to cast your judgments upon then? Those damn lying, dishonest, evil fat people! Now they’re hiding their fatness from you! They aren’t any more moral or willful, they’re just hiding their evil!
There is something rotten in your soul.
okay, first of all i apologize. i wasn’t talking about the people who actually need this drug, and i’m sorry for that. i live in a small world, and a lot of my exposure to these drugs have been about people who use them for vanity. those are the people i was talking about, but i didnt’ state that and i understand and appreciate your reply. i feel like a dick now, but it’s not your fault and i thank you sincerely for pointing out the crappiness of my post.
edit - i’ll be more conscious of my “jokes” in the future. feels like it wouldn’t be a real apology if i didn’t include this.
Lol luddite
