Something Grim Is Happening to People Who Go Off GLP-1s

Many people who have successfully lost weight with Ozempic and other products GLP-1 agonist drugs have difficulty weaning themselves from injectable medications, according to BBC, because food hunger returns with a vengeance and therefore the weight begins to increase again, signaling that patients may possibly develop a lifelong addiction to these substances.

“I was overweight for the first 38 years of my life; now I weigh six stone (38kg) [83 pounds] “So part of me feels like there’s an addiction to keep it going because it makes me feel how I feel, it makes me feel in control,” Tanya Hall, a Wegovy user who can’t quit the drug, told the news outlet.

This confirms research It found that patients who stopped using these medications often regained most of their weight. That’s why you have celebrities like Oprah. said People Magazine last month that he plans to stay in the job indefinitely. This means: many users will have to treat obesity as a chronic condition and be on these medications for the rest of their lives.

“This will be a lifelong thing,” Oprah said. “I am on high blood pressure medication, and if I stop taking high blood pressure medication, my blood pressure will rise. I realized the same is true for these medications now. I proved to myself that I needed it.”

Patients who stop taking medications tend to gain back two-thirds of the weight they lost. according to research Ozempic is produced by Novo Nordisk. Doctor Hussain Al-Zubaidi said: BBC has seen patients regain 60 to 80 percent of the weight they lost.

This may seem like a hopeless mission, but all is not lost, according to Al-Zubaidi. He said patients should have an “exit strategy” in which they make healthier lifestyle changes while using injectable drugs; Lifestyle changes can sustain weight loss after stopping drugs completely.

That’s what happened to Ellen Ogley. BBC Eli said Lily lost 48.5 kilos while using the GLP-1 drug Mounjaro.
