I'm apparently insulin resistant and gained a bunch of weight I'm having a hard time losing after I was bedridden by a bad accident and went on an antidepressant that made me bloat the fµck up overnight. Totally stalled out after quickly losing the first 15 pounds when I discontinued the medication.
I'm not at all diabetic, but was recently prescribed Ozempic (and metformin, earlier) -- they're used off-label to suppress hunger and control weight in insulin resistant people (and apparently women with PCOS).
I just started the Ozempic but it seems like my diet actually works when I'm on it, and I'm starting to lose some. Anyone have any experience with these meds for reasons other than diabetes? I HATE the idea of taking medications like this, generally, but I'm willing to use any help I can get right now.
