@wellmedr: Thinking about stopping GLP-1–based treatment? Plan the next step before the last dose. In two withdrawal studies—STEP 1 extension and SURMOUNT-4—groups moved off treatment regained weight on average. These were different studies, not a head-to-head comparison, and their averages cannot predict an individual outcome. Before stopping, ask your clinician why treatment is ending, what the maintenance plan will be and when you should follow up. Never stop, restart or change a dose based on social media. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Results vary. Prescription treatment requires clinical evaluation. #GLP1Education #TreatmentExpectations #WeightManagement #PatientEducation #Wellmedr
