Kind of makes sense that stopping taking a drug that reduces heart attack and stroke risk leads to a return to the higher risk of before.

It doesn't reduce heart attack and stroke. It reduces appetite, kind of, and gives you a sore stomach while making you shit yourself inside out. All this can, with care, help contribute to weight loss.

Weight loss can reduce heart attack and stroke, but GLP-1 does not.

You could also reduce heart attack and stroke risks by not eating crap and going for a walk every so often.
