GLP-1 agonists are currently the most effective anti-obesity medications and are considered safe for long-term use. Currently, only liraglutide (Saxenda), semaglutide (Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Zepbound) are approved for weight loss, though some other GLP-1 drugs may be prescribed off-label

deffo getting these meds now
skinny san-pedro in 6 months
My insurance wouldn’t cover weight loss medication and they’re very, very expensive.
I gained 15lbs this move and am already losing again.
Just eating better and being more active.
I know I’ll have to put more and more effort in,
But it’s working.
You don’t have to wait for those meds.
If you started working now,
Regardless,
You’d be in much better shape in six months.
Those meds have alot of side effects it seems. It’s probably worth it if using the meds to treat diabetes and/or extreme obesity. Plus theres a shortage of the meds so those conditions should have priority access.
Even if these meds werent the most recent cause of my sickness, I was made sick everytime I increased them, to a lesser degree, and on ocassion when an increase did not happen. And I also did not lose weight until I got very sick recently.
If you want to try them, go ahead. Just be aware that they are not the miracle drug without risk of illness and complications that some people make them out to be. And there is no guarantee of weight loss.
