I mean you're just talking about treating two different conditions. It should not be confusing at all that the optimal drug for each is different. People have used amphetamines and other stimulants for weight loss pretty much forever. The reason responsible medical professionals don't prescribe them for such (anymore) is because the risk/reward profile is bad. That doesn't mean it's bad if you need the stimulant -- that changes at least the reward side of the risk/reward tradeoff, so it's totally reasonable to come to a different determination. The addiction potential for most amphetamines is through the roof and the side effect profiles are fairly intense and mostly negative for a lot of people. Yes, we do know that amphetamines are bad for weight loss and we know that GLP-1is are good for weight loss. This isn't because amphetamine bad, GLP-1i good, but because we've done clinical trials and determined this to be true.
