People Are Sharing Their Honest Experiences With Ozempic, Wegovy, And Mounjaro, And It’s Incredibly Eye-Opening

“My experience (and this is not to gainsay those who had a hard time with a GLP-1 medication) has been good, even great.”

“Pluses: I have lost 70 lbs, feel fantastic, and am told I look great. I have had a bunch of those side effects, including nausea, constipation, and/or diarrhea, but they haven’t been too bad. 

Negatives: a flattening of my emotions. I am not that interested in eating (YAY!) but also not that interested in other pleasurable things, like sex and alcohol (never had a problem with alcohol, but now am satisfied with less). Worth it? 100%. I went from pre-diabetic to nowhere near diabetic, am running as fast as I did 15 years ago (I am a senior citizen), and feel mentally more alert than ever. I am not vain in the slightest, but I enjoy the ease I now have in buying clothes. Sometimes one needs clothing, and the struggle is gone. I still hate to shop, though.”
