The new cardiometabolic drugs (GLP1s and other hormone-based therapies) are getting more potent in their ability to ameliorate suffering, but with great potential also comes great responsibility. I cannot emphasize this enough: you MUST NOT casually prescribe these meds. This will lead to adverse events. If you are interested in therapy, please work with expert clinics like Accomplish Health and others.

Good to hear about the review of potential suicidal ideation. We must not forget the lessons from CB1 inverse agonists (rimonabant et al.).
