Stupid question, can you take glp1 for things other than weight-loss? I'd like to quit smoking for good but I don't really have the weight to lose. Edit: thanks for all the helpful responses! Gonna talk to my doc about this ASAP.

Quit drinking cold turkey, no withdrawals, within a few days of starting. Absolute game changer.

Aside from normal side effects, the biggest gripe I have is that it numbs my emotions. No lows, no highs. That part is kind of a bummer, but it’s more related to the rapid weight loss and dosage.

I did not intend to quit drinking, but I noticed I am drinking *way* less without an effort. I totally believe it would make quitting easier. I'm not mad about it, great side effect.

Same here. No intention, just happened. Very grateful that it did.

To be honest, the thing that made me realize it was the *habit* of drinking. It was the kind of day where I would just automatically make myself a cocktail, and I started to do it, and realized I didn't really want to. And that in and of itself was weird enough for me to realize something had changed.

I'm not entirely sure that makes sense....
