Mounjaro & Ozempic
Has anyone had any experience with these medications?
I'm aware of people buying dodgy stuff online, someone who used to work with me did - but that's not what I'm talking about. I mean actually prescribed.
I have always been very overweight, and by all accounts it seems like a good option, but it would be great to hear from anyone who has/does use it.
Thanks!

Everyone has different experiences with medication and how someone else finds it won't necessarily be the same as you.
What's wrong with losing weight through diet and exercise? What does your doctor say?

These medications are a big deal, but there are some serious risks attached, especially with Ozempic. If you're considering it or already using it and have concerns, it might be worth reaching out to a lawyer. If you've experienced side effects or issues, they can help guide you through your options, especially given that some legal actions are underway.

Mounjaro and Ozempic do - on average - help people to lose weight. There is a variation to how people's weight responds to these drugs. Some lose no weight. Other's lose weight reasonably well.
Studies have indicated that Ozempic causes an average of 12.5% weight loss. Mounjaro a 17.8% weight loss.
The nature of the weight loss is that this happens over the first 65 weeks of taking the drug. After that the average weight loss stops. If you come off the drug, on average the weight returns to close to what it was before taking the drug.
There are nausea type side effects, that appear to be fairly common. Although some people report no bad side effects.
An alternative is to change what you eat and drink to lower calorie density alternatives. Ideally the sort of stuff that gives good side effects, such as reduced cancer rates, less constipation, improved general mood etc etc.
These alternatives are things like drinking water instead of fizzy drinks. Eating unprocessed plant foods: (unsugared) beans, legumes, fruit, vegetables, leaves, unsalted nuts, mushrooms, herbs, spices.
For an obese person, changing to a healthier diet results in weight loss that continues beyond 65 weeks, right up and till the person arrives at an "ideal" weight.

You'd be better off speaking to a doctor rather than a lawyer.
