As my thread title says ...fuck insurance not covering now for weight loss.It would help our heath care system greatly with less overweight people and the burdone on said system.
Think we need an ozempic sponsor

The reason they are dropping it is that it is primarily meant for use by those with type 2 diabetes to help manage blood sugar levels. Ozempic also has some cardiovascular benefits for those with heart disease. Weight loss via appetite suppression is simply a byproduct of a healthier lifestyle while taking the drug. There has been a shortage because those who want to lose 10 lbs to fit into their swimsuits have been getting scripts written; in this context, it falls under a nonessential drug classification.
I know what you're getting at. Western medicine is not concerned with prevention. But you can surely get semaglutide on the black market or adjust your diet and add some HIIT/HIRT training to reach your goals. Many folks with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions can improve their quality of life with this drug.
This is no jab at you, my man! It's been a long day, and I deal with people who want the result without putting in the work.
I know you're not this person
Rant off.

From some first accounts here doesn't it suck to take? Feeling nauseous, overly full, blood sugar tanking, no energy, etc
Id rather put in the sweat than be miserable taking something that makes me feel like shit
It's probably ok for Stepford wives that just want to be skinny and do nothing, but for those of us reliant on nutrients for energy and growth it does not seem like a feasable alternative

not the same risk but i think i know what you’re getting at.
Yes. It's called Ozempic Rebound.
Yes a few women I know that had been on it the weight comes back.So a life a life style change is needed.
I wish I had the problem to eat all the time.
Well strange story when my son was young to treat adhd which he never had stupid doctors put him on risparadol.All the kid wanted to do was eat and he gained weight so bad I couldn't stand the love handles I quickly took him off and found a new doctor only to find he had auspergers.
I leaned 20 years ago, with my colitis that big pharma doesn't have our best interest.
Even most doctors are sellout, just a licensed drug dealer.
The school wanted my grandson to be on meds so he would stay calm and sit still.
No way. He learned to calm down on his own over the years.

Risperdal should only be used when the kid with ADHD is aggressive. The med must be closely monitored for side effects, especially hunger and metabolic syndrome.
Aspergers or high-functioning autism can usually be treated without meds, but if meds are needed, they typically target co-morbidities such as anxiety and depression.
That is the Wilbarger Method of Sensory Integration. It works wonders in most kids with autism, but the kid needs a serious evaluation before anything is introduced. I had fun using it with kids and adults. I appreciated meds in the kids I worked with because they slowed them down enough to put ITPs in place and work them. Mind you; I worked with kids who were much more of a challenge than most kids with ADHD. It's a tough call when to institute pharmacological therapy.
He wasn’t that bad, just the provincial government was trying for a vote grab by starting prekindergarden so people wouldnt have to pay for another year of daycare. The teachers (at my grandsons school) didn’t want to do it either and were bitching at the parents constantly about how immature the children were (No shit they shouldn’t be in school).
I know a couple of his classmates on drugs, and to be truthful, both the parents just didn’t want to put in the work to modify their child’s behaviour so instead doped them up, because it was easier. I get it, hyper kids are tough, and truthfully now that my grandson has become a teenager and is not energetic at all anymore, I miss his hyper days. When he would play Godzilla music and do all the fighting moves for each creature, lol. I would be more worried if my male child wasn’t hyper.
Obviously there are children that benefit form treatment, but it is my opinion that it might be also abused due to lack of wanting to properly parent.
No shit, eh? Sorry about the bolding. Not supposed to do that.
