🎉 MILESTONE: ADHD and GLP-1 need advice!
I can not believe I am typing this. When I started this journey I had zero hope.
Numbers: BMI went from 38 to 25.
Thank you to this community for keeping me sane through the hard parts. You know who you are. 🙏

Gonna push back on this one. ADHD and GLP-1 need advice is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 12 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But cost accessibility is a real barrier. We should be honest about that.

This is exactly right. pete_manc_UK articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The ADHD and GLP-1 need aspect is the most important factor.
Clinical perspective on ADHD and GLP-1 need advice:
I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that proper titration prevents most adverse events.
For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.

I respect hans_munich perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: ADHD and GLP-1 need advice — the effect size varies considerably by population.
I am not saying hans_munich wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
