* They're expensive right now because there's a shortage.
* Once the actuaries see the long term data I imagine insurance companies will foot the bill entirely for them as a cost-saving measure. The only thing strong enough to override a doctor's "I bet it's your period" is "I bet it's your weight."
* It is genuinely far far easier to maintain weight than lose it. Your body establishes a new set-point and you +/-10 lbs around it naturally.
Can't speak for these drugs specifically but after losing 100lbs my appetite adjusted, got higher energy, far less effort to do (well everything) but working out especially.

- Spivak 2y agoOh I was considering the $200/mo to be the expensive price. Yeah name brand you can pay $1k/mo but I don't imagine most folks going that route over the generic given the choice. But yeah, that's a good point I suppose. Fewer side effects than meth that's for sure.
