I'm so tempted to just take a glp1 again...I never will but the temptation follows the frustrations of being so unnaturally hungry and craving. It's so frustrating because I'm seeing peoples lives change around me because of glp1 and I cant take it because of kindling how do I explain it to people :((

Edited August 14Aug 14 by wheretogonow

I just want some confirmation that this is just a WD symptom that will go away pls. Because my endocrinologist said it's because I lost weight my body is just fighting to get to a setpoint

But month 7-12 I was post weight loss and I still don't remember feeling this hungry?

Lots of people do

not normal.

No this is how it feels, I was quite good and learning to sit with the hunger and just ate mainly what I planned to eat, that is just me, we are all different.

can I get some reassurance this is just withdrawal and will go away please :(

I believe this is 100% just WD and will pass like all WD does eventually.

You are wise not to touch anything.

For myself I can say that because of digestive problems, these things became confused too. I don't like to eat and I'm avoiding food, but I eat to much many times. It feels like signals from gut became confused. Now, how much is it related to WD will be told by others, because I don't know.

I know in the context of withdrawal gaining weight doesn't seem like anything but I am having these insane cravings and hunger I feel sick eating so much bad food. I feel so much pain gaining weight when even in my window I worked so hard doing keto to keep it off

I remember having this even in my big window but I went away. In my big window I was able to do keto and was doing good with diet and exercise

I remember on survivingantidepressants I posted this:
Nov 16th 2025
"I want to take this to help with my remaning symptoms 1. depression 2. wacky periods (my luteal phase is so long and I get wierd symptoms such as this unsatiable hunger). But I don't think I'm ever trusting a supplement ever again after all that has happened."

Then a month later I posted this
"I'm sorry I wasn't going to take it but someone kept recommending it to me. Also the hunger was just part of withdrawal and subsided thankfully."

So it went away..not all the binge eating related symptoms went away some stayed but this time it's stayed for 5+ months.

But also how do I know this is withdrawal related because I remember feeling like this once on Prozac too...but it could have been Prozac being insane because I only remember feeling like this once while on it for 6 years. Other time I had excess cravings and hunger but I don't ever remember it being this bad

How do I know this is withdrawal or just my natural mental illness? :( can I get reassurance pls

This is part of withdrawal. I get this hunger issues too. Now, it's not as bad as it was many months ago, but it is still an issue. I also gets craving for sugar. It all will come down. Try to eat healthy. For the sugar cravings, when it comes, I use monk fruit instead of regular sugar. It will get better....I have gain weight as well. Ups and downs until body heals...

You know how much these drugs harm us and how long it can take to get better, hold firm, no doubt.xxx

Do you think keto or even just low carb is bad for withdrawal?

Went to a naturpath and they said low carb is a no no? But so far only no carb is beating the insane cravings and hunger. what do you guys think

Some have luck with either, I personally think that keto should be supervised or VERY well researched at a min. Personally I have opted for a well balanced diet, body needs fuel to heal.

Hallo dear friend ,

I have red that you symptoms are the same as me. Depression and anhedonia. Did you have depression before you started the wd? Did you hesitate if your depression was getting worse in the beginning ? I hesitate all the time even though my depression started after the Ri with the 50mg. How long did your depression lasted ? And are you healed now ? Big hug and al the best wishes for your recovery ❤️

they said cells don't get enough energy, i said well what about the fat's i'll be eating, said that's not enough idk. Do you think keto or a calorie restriction (moderate) is dangerous in WD?

I have windows and waves...wbu? Will check out your thread, stay in there

One of the worst feelings I have is this aromantic/asexual feeling I have. I don't feel desire to be loved or wanted or anything. I wonder did this come back for people? Feels like such a lonely way to live

Overtime all WD symptoms can ease, this lack of connection is very common in WD and of course it can effect the intimate sides of life too. I hope and suspect this will fade over time. x

So sorry you feel this way, I can definitely relate.

The thought that this as well as other symptoms will remain permanent is just natural while suffering but not true, as part of the system’s regulatory mechanism, all resources are temporarily mobilized solely for survival, anything non-essential is pushed aside — which is exactly what you are experiencing right now, but as healing progresses, normal function will gradually return. I have seen this happen with so many others, and you are no exception. It is immensely difficult, but it is temporary.

Hang in there.

Well, for you and for me, it's sound like completely untrue. Then people who do fasting would die, but they don't. I don't think that keto will make any significant difference, however I don't think that keto or caloric restriction is dangerous.

I have windows but never feel 100%. Take care of yourself ❤️

Question because of curiosity;

My physical symptoms are all gone . Only two things has left are Anhedonia and depression but these two also changed over the time. Is this common in WD. I have the feeling that this me now and that have to accept this from now on. Do you guys experience this too? Stil on 1 mg and not changing it until I am sure if it’s safe. I don’t even know if it’s doing something….

I keep on posting here because you pple are the only ones who understand me . I used to have a lot of stress about my daughter and the fact that I don’t have any support to help me and never had.

But never in my life I felt the way I do now. Nothing seems to matter . I usually cook and clean and take good care of myself . But myself clothes and put on some make up too look pretty for myself . None of this does matter to me anymore. I feel like an empty shell. Nothing makes me happy and I can’t think about tomorrow or the next day. I don’t have anything in my mind except WD. I used to work out and even through tough times try to listen to music and try to enjoy a movie . Non of this is what I like anymore . I forse myself to daily walks and group activities but I’m so much in pain during this all. People used to tell me “ you’re so strong and you are still smiling and having fun although your situation is so bad and heavy”. That is al gone and o don’t know how to deal with this pain and go through life what doesn’t feel like life anymore …/

@Saar8srl it seems that you finally reached a stable condition with having only two symptoms left. I am not an expert, but I will suggest to continue holding until you have few months feeling stable. If next few weeks, you continue like this, maybe in three months resume taper and go very slow at your last mg. You might still get withdrawal symptoms but they should be very mild and resolved quicker....

Congratulations in reaching stability! I'm still struggling in 21 months....
