How unexpected, another positive effect of Ozempic. It just never ends.

Im going into my fourth month of use and i have not had any positive effects from the medication. Just 3 months of feeling food poisoning every single day. Pretty terrible experience so far. Maybe i lost 10lbs but it seems more because of change in what i eat and nothing to do with the medication.

I only drink during special occasions, and limit myself to two. It’s the easiest calorie cut I make. If this habit helps me keep my naturally produced glp1, then yay.

Is that why I can eat my evening meal, go out to the bar for drinks and then be hungry enough to eat some huge takeout burger at midnight?

So there’s evidence that GLP-1’s are effecting the part of the brain that deals with desires, so ozempic could technically be used to fight addictions of all kinds even gambling.

I thought ozempic was a glp-1 inhibitor. So does that mean alcohol decreases glp-1 inhibition? Or am I thinking of this wrong?

I’ve always had a raging appetite from alcohol. I would feel insatiable until I sobered up. It’s validating to see a scientific explanation.
