“I strongly suspect that it has had an impact on my insulin sensitivity as well.”

“Mine were mainly around bloating and abdominal pain, but I solved it by spacing the doses out further”

“After my first 10-day gap between doses I ended up with a strong encounter with the hypoglycemic feeling”

“Overall I'm glad I took it and will continue to do so. It's not without downsides”

“It shrinks visceral fat, it's been shown to clear liver fat, and it actually increases mitochondrial efficiency”

“The only side effect I've had is nausea and it passes after a few minutes.”

“There's lots of studies not funded by Novo that show semiglutatide has reduced the incidence of dementia in the diabetes population.”

“I've now gone to a maintenance dose and seen my energy recover substantially”

“I'm not convinced by this study that GLP1 treatment reduces dementia incident rates meaningfully compared to normal health weight loss.”

“You aren't the only one I've heard who started to have no energy after being on semaglutide.”

“Weight loss is an extremely complicated and societally mediated problem that we didn't have a 'cheat code' like this for until recently.”

“It also doesn't need a fridge, so it allows me to travel more easily.”

“Losing 40 pounds where sometimes it feels like this weight is impossible to lose. That's what makes it worth it.”

“Novo Nordisk's actual dedicated clinical trials for Alzheimer's completely failed to show that semaglutide stops cognitive decline.”

“Semaglutide cleared my liver fat and fixed my moderate NAFLD in a matter of months.”

“We know that semaglutides have also side effects, and that rebound happen when you stop”

“As long as you stick to the lowest dose that's effective the side effects are minimal to non existent.”

“Semaglutide does an incredible job of keeping my autoimmune issues in check.”

“I take low dose of semiglutide and this seems to help with the auto-immune aspect”

“I started at such low dose 0.025mg and ramped slowly I didn't expect to see much of an effect until I got to more normal doses”

“so far no serious unwanted side effects other than the usual ones for semaglutide which went away”

“semiglutide appears to help with autoimmune conditions in general”

“Semaglutide has been the most effective and with it and a few others I am largely able to lead a normal life.”

“Sema made me feel unwell and sometimes sleep due to what I think was hypoglycemia”

“Less anxiety about things i was hit by before and mood improved overall”

“the raw API on all of this stuff is coming from China in a way that is effectively unregulated”

“I'm having huge success on the medication and the slight issues I have are a worthy tradeoff personally.”

“My own extremely rare and terribly painful immune disorder is basically entirely cured by it - it completely changed my life”

“It's a miracle drug for reducing immune overreach, like better than anything we know of.”

“semaglutide reduces inflammation allowing the body to repair and improves mitochondrial function in cartilage cells”

“Seeing such an effect in just 9 weeks, 90% of that time being at low ramp up doses, is astonishing.”

“saddles healthcare funding systems with an enormous burden for the next 20 years”

“I started at 0.025mg and still got temporary gastroparesis which was indeed very uncomfortable.”

“With slightly less reward from the body, the scales may tip slightly in favor of self control.”

“it's effective at losing weight but as soon as you stop you gain back all the weight”

“The cardioprotective effects of semaglutide were independent of baseline adiposity and weight loss”
