That is not what happened to me. I took it for 2 months and then I wanted to get off. I did not go back to normal. Mentally I felt like I needed more food and more junk food than I ever did before using the drug.
My hypothesis is that it supressed my body's natural production of whatever chemical in my brain helps me not go overboard with food. With that supressed by the drug I had an uncontrollable desire for food and currently I am fatter than I was before taking the drug in the first place.
- 1123581321 3y agoAn interaction with leptin? Or are you just feeling hungry after the side effects wore off? You also said it stopped working while you were taking it in another post; are you just talking about satiety or one of the other effects like insulin production or glucagon release? Are you diabetic or just overweight?

- rolisz 3y agoDid you quit cold turkey? Or did you slowly taper it off? I'm taking Rybelsus (pill form of semaglutide) and there are 3, 7 and 14 mg versions. My plan is to take 14 mg for a couple more months, then switch to 7 mg for 1-2 months and then 3 mg for a month before stopping taking it completely.
- Ginden 3y ago> Mentally I felt like I needed more food and more junk food than I ever did before using the drug This is consistent with hungry brain hypothesis. Your hypothalamus detects that you have less body fat than amount set on "lipostat" and it tries to get fat content back to this set amount.
