I'm on semaglutide for weight loss purposes, while having no other health issues relevant here.

I don't think it's made any difference to any addictive tendencies or my bad habits (and with ADHD, those certainly exist). It certainly helps with the appetite of course.

This is definitely anecdotal evidence, but it's wise to hold on longer for more data to come in before advocating for it on those grounds alone.



Too many miraculous stories so far I’ve heard, numerous people close to me quitting lifelong addictions cold turkey within months of starting.

I’ve never had an addictive personality but I also found I gave up a couple habits while on it.

I wonder if ADHD specifically isn’t as prone to positive effects there.
