Do Ozempic & Wegovy Only Suppress One's Desire To Eat [View all]

Ozempic was designed for people with Type 2 diabetes. Much more money can be made selling it as a weight loss drug.

Testing for the safety of Ozempic has largely been done on animals.

Ozempic & Wegovy affect the brain, they suppress one's appetite for food. They stifle the reward & pleasure aspects of eating, like craving a certain food in the middle of the night.

Is food suppression the only craving that these drugs affect? Scientists are now finding the side effects of brain fog and vivid dreams.

Not enough studies have been done to answer that question.

I look at Krasnov and see some of the possible side effects of Ozempic in him. Less sleep, lethargic, etc.
