Demand for weight loss drug Ozempic made by Novo Nordisk single-handedly pulled Denmark out of recession.
From what I've heard this drug is a miracle drug
It’s pretty solid - kills your food cravings with mild side effects. The next generation of these drugs is supposed to be even more effective.
It’s gets rid of your muscle.
I went on it and it made me eat less. But it also started the first major depressive order that I have had. Really bad. Had to get off of it after a month but the depressive episode stayed. Needed to take medical leave from work. Had to start on antidepressants for the first time and am still on them half a year later. Wegovy is the same substance (semaglutide) but with higher max dose. There have been reports of suicidal ideation with its use which corroborate my experience: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/wegovy-other-weight-loss-drugs-scrutinized-over-reports-suicidal-thoughts-2023-09-28/ But for a lot of people it works, and that's great!
how did you know the depression was from this drug in particular
When I went up on the dose, whenever I felt the decrease in appetite (it goes up and down), I felt a proportionate increase in depressive symptoms: very negative thoughts, lethargy, crying, this weird sense of doom and gloom. When I stopped taking the injections a lot of the doom and gloom lifted but the negative thoughts and crying stayed. I can't say or know with 100% certainty that it was due to the drug but the connection felt very clear to me
Next easiest drug to get rich off of would be the bald population 💀
Not as big. When you bald it doesn’t affect your health and day to day life.
Yeah, being bald isn't enough of a deal for me to pay a fortune to get it fixed, I just shave my head and rock it.
Yeah, today it’s a “miracle drug” but 10 years down the road you’ll see the TV ads: have you been prescribed Semaglutide and wrecked your health? You could be entitled to compensation. Call 1888-you-are-fucked.
There's something off about the results I've seen from people who have used GLP-1. It's not like the typical massive weight loss through diet and exercise. It's more like the weight loss you see in old age.
Can you elaborate?
On behalf of fat Americans everywhere: you're welcome
🤣
McDonald’s: hold my beer … Coca-Cola: you need a 2 liter or a 4 liter ? Krispy Kreme: buy 1 get 10 for free ! Kellogg: have you tried our extra large bag of serials for $1.99 ! Victoria secrets: big is beautiful… American heart association: blah blah blah … causes cardiovascular disease but we can’t do much about it E!: 10,000 LB sisters 🤦🏻♂️ It’s almost impossible to save Americans. This drug will turn itself into a necessity but you wil not be able t change these people lifestyle
We give and we give. And all we ask in return are cheeseburgers.
Oh come here man. You can have all the cheeseburgers!
Who knew eating less without an injection, was the hardest part.
Weird how this drug cures the genetics that make people magically gain 100lbs
I’ll stick exercise and sensible diet. Why am I suddenly craving a Big Mac though?? 😂

Wow…. Also… 🤔 now I question the drug.
It’s been popular for the past couple of years. It helps with weight loss, and some people have success with curing alcohol addiction and gambling addiction. Severe side effects. Every pharma CEOs have ordered their R&D to find a copycat version of this drug.
What are the severe side effects?
