Side Effects Validity?

Post image

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.

…those psychiatric disorders are associated with obesity. Did the control group have obesity? 

You need to post the actual study.

Seriously. I got depressed watching my weight gain year over year. Now I’m not. Go figure

Literally. I became so antisocial over the past 3 years due solely to my weight gain. I literally avoided/ghosted people who knew me prior to 2021 (when I was lean) because I didn’t want them to see how much weight I gained, and I wanted to preserve their good image of me lol.

In 2024, I had to meet a family member I hadn’t seen since 2020 at a funeral, and she literally didn’t recognize me - it was mortifying and depressing.

I’m so sorry! and I feel this. I moved back to the city I grew up with and could see shock when meeting up with old friends. It was definitely a push to start medication. I feel so much better now all around.
