Does Ozempic ameliorate gambling addiction, as it seems to do to alcohol and other drug addictions?

  Yes, it decreases urges for a very wide range of compulsive behaviors, including (but not limited to) gambling, shopping, nail biting, and skin picking.

  There is likely a correlation between reductions in other addictive behavior such as shopping/gambling addictions and GLP-1s. That being said: - Some people have reported no benefit. - The effect may be lower than counteracting chemically addictive behavior (e.g. eating, drinking, smoking, drugs). I think we can speculate with what we know today that there is SOME effect, but more data/studies are needed to see how large effect really is. Particularly as the overall effect is lower, you need more data to separate it from noise/placebo.
