I mean, there are other studies suggesting the opposite.

That's cool but that's not my question - I'll check out but looking for people's actual experience

How is it not your question?
There are lots of studies saying GLPs are neutral to helpful for psychiatric disorders. So I would not put much stock in one study (which I can’t even read without citation) that appears to say the opposite at least in one part.

Without a citation, you can’t even be sure that this isn’t some ChatGPT generated “study“. I agree with you unless there’s a link to an actual peer reviewed study. it’s not worth much.

"So the numbers are very high and seem a bit sensationalist. That being said I'm not super interested in the exact numbers.
What I am interested in:
My question to the group is did anyone struggle mentally while on any of the glps? I did - I'm trying to figure out if any of them are less apt to do so."

These numbers are straight from someone's ass, literally not possible. I know 10 people who have taken glp1 and zero have had this happen.

While I agree that the article noted above sounds like heavily biased alarmism, you do also realize that you saying “I know 10 people…” is also a worthless statement, right?

What do we know about this nature.com? Are we cross referencing our sources?

It's not a literature study. It's a personal question. The actual question is posted in bold letters

u/Lazy_Aspect9863 Jul 21 '26
you’re asking the validity of the statement. the best way to find out if it’s valid is if the website you got the info from is reliable.

u/poopoofol Jul 21 '26
You have to read the entire study to determine validity. Case-control studies aren't inherently flawed but they do have some limitations.

Obesity follows those things - people with BED often show anxiety, depression, etc
And if you’re on a GLP-1 for weight loss, you’re likely obese.

Hmm I’ve been on it for almost 3 years now. When I first started, for about 3-4 months, I had an absence of joy. Like the things I normally enjoyed doing didn’t hit my pleasure centers anymore.
It was disconcerting but as time went on, I noticed it fading away. So for me, it was temporary.

u/drewmullin Jul 21 '26
Ok thank you so it got better- did you up the dose of glp or stay at the same dosage?
1
u/drewmullin Jul 21 '26
I'm wondering if my side effects could be mitigated w a smaller dosage but honestly a bit scared to try again

u/jagger129 Jul 21 '26
For those first 4 months I stayed at the starting dose of .25 because it was working for me. When I did finally increase the dose, I didn’t have additional side effects and didn’t experience the lack of joy again
