A relative discontinued a GLP-1 agonist and I microdosed their leftovers for two months. They have anti-inflammatory effects and I was curious to see whether they would improve my general pain and fatigue levels. Results are inconclusive; I think I saw benefits but would need a higher dosage and/or more time to be sure.
When I started, I was already at the lowest weight that keeps my blood pressure high enough for me to function. I had to stop taking it because I could not eat enough to maintain that weight, even though I used much lower dosages than generally used for weight loss. Frustratingly I had to go from counting calories and being uncomfortably hungry to avoid overeating before starting it, to counting calories and being uncomfortably full to try to avoid undereating. Honestly I'm grumpy that I put in the work to lose 30 pounds when I could have done it effortlessly with meds! I can't imagine how bitter people who've had more significant and longer term weight issues might be.
