Went for my annual checkup. Was prescribed GLP1. Started me on 2.5 mg for a month and then on a dose of 5mg per week. Anyone experienced this drug. Concerned about long term impact of such a powerful medication

If you’re using the Wegovy shots, I assume you mean 0.25mg as 2.4mg is what you work your way up to after a few months.

Regardless, they do work and am very satisfied. Coming up on 2 years. Strangest thing for me has been the mindset shift they’ve facilitated, as it actually hurts to eat more beyond a certain point. I also seem less interested in drinking as well. Vegas certainly hits different when on GLP1 😀

Could be coincident with age, but have noticed some muscle loss. I just need to be less lazy and incorporate more strength training.

Good luck!

It’s surprising I am full in 5 days on the shot but I am eating something just because I love eating that stuff but am always feeling full now

Yes this!

I’m late to this game but Eat less, eat better (no highly processed foods), avoid alcohol completely, do some activity like walking each day. Intentional but not extreme caloric deficit works wonders and is safe and sustainable.

Understood. Long term impact of being fat is a known extremely high risk status so I’d suggest the unknown risk may be worthwhile.

I read a report that 40% of the weight lost is from lean muscle mass and bone. That’s enough to keep me off them.

Most people don't understand you have to lift and be deliberate about nutrients with any form of rapid weight loss. You're rapidly decreasing consumption so its only natural to lose across the board.

It works

Muscle loss is a serious side effect, especially if over 40

Greatest thing I have ever taken.
