[@jlclark1983]

Definitely causes anxiety. Major panic attacks while on ozempic. None since it got out of my system

[@theofficialdrdan]

I'm sorry you had this side effect, but happy for you that you were able to identify the issue.

[@Ella3175]

I had the same on mounjaro, it sucks it didn’t work for us

[@jlclark1983]

@Ella3175 thanks for letting me know I was kinda considering trying it. Jardiance isn't lowering my sugars ebough

[@Bellyblessings88]

I been on wegovy for 5 months and the higher the dose the more sad and the more suicidal I feel 😢 but being overweight is hurting me and my joints 😢

[@yesenia810]

As always good content that keeps us informed.

[@theofficialdrdan]

Thank you for watching!

[@Ella3175]

Had constant heart palpitations and panic attacks on mounjaro

Food is one among great pleasures in life, as well as a legal way to cope. People who struggle with food and weight definitely has this amplified so if you're taking away the dopamine from this pleasure, many people may just loose the will to live.

[@brianne571]

You do get a high off seeing the scale go down and know your losing weight to. I lost a lot on my own slowly.

[@kenehnsklp5530]

@@brianne571 yeah and it works when people are stil losing weight. After 2 years most people on it have already reached the goals and if they dont know how to transform this dopamine seeking behaviour into a non-food form, they will be at a higher risk of being depressed or suicidal

[@theofficialdrdan]

@@brianne571 It can be a very rewarding feeling - congrats on your weight loss!

Many that come to the GLP-1s are already damaged

[@sherribauch5481]

Ouch. Harsh comment. Since ALL people have “damage” from some event in their life….I would reframe that and say since 80% + of people will have a mental health diagnosis sometime during their life, this type of med may have impact on mood. It does stop the “food noise”. Maybe it affects other receptors as well. I have not experienced any mental health change since on Wegovy for several months. I think it is perhaps how each person’s unique body copes physically and mentally with the medication.

Hi Deb, right under this video, there should be a button that says "Join". Or from my channel, www.youtube.com/@theofficialdrdan - there is another "Join" button right beside the "Subscribe" button. I hope this helps!

I was medicating a lot with food, alcohol, and things I don't want to get into. When I learned to sit with the depression, and see it as something apart from the actual "me"...then things started to shift for me. Mindfulness helped a lot. I like books like 30 Days to Reduce Depression by Harper Daniels and the Tao Te Ching, but books aren't eveyone's thing. It was a slow recovery. Go at your own pace.

[@theofficialdrdan]

Definitely an individual journey; it's different for everyone.

[@calisuds9830]

Alcholo depletes magnesium and vitamin b.... factors that causes health issues in nerves system unless you have been living in an area near radiation toxic chemical plant

[@PrettyPortUK]

Yes I have noticed over the past year that my depression is less. Maybe because my blood sugar is better as years ago I read blood sugar problems can cause depression. 😀

[@williskarenator]

If you eat your feelings....when you remove the eating part with medication, you are forced to deal with your feelings.

[@theofficialdrdan]

💯

[@stephanieroyer8783]

I have struggled with anxiety off and on my whole life. I feel like hearing people feel anxious and having panic attacks on these meds has freaked me out to where I feel like I'm going to experience this. I done it 2 weeks and have felt more anxious but I do think it's because I was coping with food for my anxiety before and that's gone.

[@DsmH-b4r]

Please talk about deviding mounjaro pen ,or counting click or take it out through syring

[@theofficialdrdan]

I posted this video some time ago regarding Mounjaro - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppq5eaVtitaMesk Hopefully it helps!

[@DsmH-b4r]

@@theofficialdrdan thanks for reply i dont mean this method, some people buy mounjaro pen15 and devide the dose so they can use it for 4 months instead of one , do you have any idea about this method ?!!!

[@blue1491]

I just started compounded semaglutide, and I took my second shot Monday. I will say I was fine the first week, but this week I hate myself and everyone else. 😂 I always hate myself, but I’m usually fine with everyone else. I’ve had to keep myself in check at work, and remember that I need my job. I wasn’t sure if it was the meds or not, so this side effect may ring true for some people.

[@theofficialdrdan]

Haha, what a feeling to have! Definitely keep monitoring and be sure to mention it to your care team 🩵

[@Unknown-d1x7k]

There is research showing these drugs increasing fat cells. Can you go over this?

[@robertusga]

Source?

[@theofficialdrdan]

I can't say I've read or heard this myself. I'll have to look into this!

[@calisuds9830]

Wegovy actually cut my disire to drink alcohol 🍷.

[@greatscott4788]

👍🏾

[@calisuds9830]

INTERESTING......THE INLY TIME I FELT DEPRESSED WAS WHEN MY DOSAGE WAS 1.00MG AND I WAS DEPLETED FROM VITAL MINERALS. ONCE I FIXED THAT I WAS FINE. I ACTUALLY FEEL BETTER WITH WEGOVY. IM NOT DEPRESS BECAUSE IM EATING MORE PROTEIN, REPLENISHING WITH NUTRIENTS SO IM NOT GETTING SICK DUE TO EATING A INSUFFICIENT MEAL. CUT SUGAR, LOW CARBS, HI PROTIEN, AND WALKING A MILE A DAY HELPS WITH MENTAL HEALTH. NUTRITIONAL YEAST HAS ALL THE VITAMIN B YOU NEED, MAGNESIUM FROM FRUITS POTASSIUM FROM BANANA AVOCADO. YOU MUST EAT FOOD THAT HAS NUTRITIONAL VALUE! WEGOVY LOWERS YOUR SUGAR AND APPETITE SURPRESANT SO MAKE SURE YOU EAT. IVE BEEN THERE I KNOW THE FEELING I USED TO TAKE DEPRESSION PILLS. THE CHEMIXAL IMBALANCES IS DEPLETED MINERALS...STRESS IS ALSO A FACTOR.

[@theofficialdrdan]

I'm glad you were able to find solutions for yourself!
