That's awesome man. I've heard some really positive things about Ozempic.
Have you had any side effects?
Also if you could have lost the weight with diet and exercise, do you think you would have still wanted the drug knowing what you know now? I suppose there is a risk here that people will turn to the drug instead of sorting diet / amount of exercise. I think an argument could be made that now we have the drugs we "over prescribe" drugs like SSRIs and stimulants because it's often easier to "fix" the symptoms with drugs rather than address the root cause.
- fpgaminer 3y agoSSRIs being over prescribe is a dangerous myth that should not be repeated; it puts people at risk. The vast majority of people get on SSRIs as a last resort to save their lives.
- kypro 3y agoI strongly disagree. I think what you're saying is dangerous, if anything. I speak from personal experience, but this isn't something I'm willing to take a strong position on or try to defend. Even if you believe my comparison to SSRIs is inappropriate, I don't think it's controversial to suggest that the pharmaceuticals are often too quickly prescribed in the US. My question is perfectly valid.
