    I’m diabetic, and also have a few mental health issues. The doc took me off Ozempic, citing it’s side affects of messing with mental health.

      Sorry to hear it. What sort of side effects were there?

        Doc said risks were reported of adversely affecting PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

          Oh wow. Yeah, definitely a good idea to stop taking it. I’m glad you’re still with us and I hope you’ve found a good solution!

            Thanks, I’m doing pretty well. But I don’t need a drug with those side effects. I mention this primarily because these side effects appear to be largely unreported, while the drug is being widely marketed for weight loss. People should be aware of the risks.

              I totally get it and those side effects absolutely need to be reported, especially if they are not uncommon.

              I have a weird allergy to some opioids which results in a sort of psychosis and definitely possible self-harm, but that is a very uncommon effect there. Imagine if it was happening to people all over but no one was talking about it!

              Thank you for doing so.
