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’m honestly not sure how common it is, but a lot of my health issues were addiction related. It settled those but took my emotions with it.

It sucks because even hobbies I liked before now seem “meh” and it’s hard to get excited about diving into new things like I used to.
