what you say is mostly true, but I will point out that it does not break any spiral. It’s frequently reported that as soon as you stop taking Ozempic, the weight comes back immediately. so unless one resolves the underlying problem, you will be on this drug for life.

That's not unique to Ozempic and (while I know you didn't make this specific argument, but others in this subthread have) is a piss poor reason to tell someone they shouldn't give it a try.

This isn't the revelation you think it is. Chronic medical conditions require lifetime treatment. That isn't news to anyone.

It's funny how obesity is the only chronic medical condition that garners a huge volume of your particular kind of comment.

Would you be mentioning this for someone prescribed a diabetic, blood pressure or cholesterol medication? Statistically, likely not. So maybe take a step back, and examine why are you so averse to other people losing weight with medication.
