All of these overlapping factors, caused by GLP-1s and their side effects, can make it a little difficult to say whether the fatigue which patients can feel is directly due to the medication or perhaps just an effect of the changes the body is undergoing as it adapts to this change in food intake and metabolism
For example, in the STEP 1 trial extension, patients who stopped semaglutide after 68 weeks of treatment regained about two thirds of the weight they had lost within one year of discontinuation
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound may be associated with temporary hair shedding in some people, especially when weight loss is rapid
