  Ozempic flew off the shelves in my region 2 years ago when people thought it was a risk-free way to lose weight. More than half had side effects but still insisted it was working. You can't trick nature.

  A relative of mine lost some degree of eyesight (ischemic optic neuropathy) a bit after going on antidepressants and I always wondered if it was a side effect of lowered blood flow/pressure to the eye. Interesting to see it investigated for other drugs. If those nerves lose oxygen for even a little while overnight, you lose (some) sight and never get it back.
