@thecourtneyway_: A GLP-1 side effect people don’t talk about enough: anhedonia. It sounds scary, but it’s actually just a scientific word for reduced reward response. Some people notice that things that used to feel super exciting… food, alcohol, shopping, even scrolling… just feel a little more neutral. Why? GLP-1s interact with the dopamine reward system in the brain. That’s the same system that drives cravings and “reward-seeking” behavior. So when that signal quiets down, a lot of people experience: • fewer food cravings • less impulse spending • less interest in alcohol • fewer “dopamine hit” behaviors For many people this is actually part of why their habits finally change. follow me to learn more ❤️
I don't take GLP1s, I'm obese and already have anhedonia

I’ve lost my desire to want to drink and noticed I don’t impulsively shop as target as much. Or if I’m out I can more easily be like “eh we don’t need it “. I tell my husband I’m not unhappy.. I’m just.. neutral? Steady? It’s so bizarre!

Is that why I feel blah? Not depressed but kind of just glum and not into doing anything

This was a big reason I called it quits. i was not myself anymore, i had zero energy and became depressed. on my days off all I wanted to do was sleep and disconnect from the world. It wasn't me. i was losing weight and feeling confident but the co confidence wasn't worth losing my light. I'm not saying this to discourage anyone from taking it. This is just my experience. I am grateful for the weight I lost and will continue to eat well and move my body, just with a happier me now.

I’m over alcohol and shopping. My house is getting cleaner and I still “crave” the endorphins from a hard workout. My mood is better and I feel like I’m no longer “stuck”. So ig it depends on the person because I feel pretty dang good.

It’s crazy because I did all this research to ensure I was aware of all the side effects. I was READY! But when I started, I got all the exact opposite symptoms. I feel amazing. I feel alive again. I’m the happiest I ever been. The ONLY side effects I get is mild constipation. Nothing else.. I’m grateful. But I feel bad when everyone else describes their bad effects.

I feel like I’ve lost my best friend because of GLP1. She used to be full of life, now she’s just there, no light and kinda boring. I’m happy for her weight loss but she’s just not the same.

I had to drop to below the lowest dose to get rid of the anhedonia (lack of happiness). Still there a little…
