When I took Ozempic I had these side effects:

* Low libido and erectile dysfunction * Constipation, diarrhea, and extreme bloating (burping all night long) * Often difficulty sleeping. Waking up a lot. Very restless.

We need a drug that doesn't slow digestion but decreases hunger and increases satiety.

This is exactly what it does for me. The only side effect I have is a little bit of occasional acid reflux.

These are some interesting side effects -- I'm not sure I've seen low libido very commonly -- have you noticed any other reports/disclosures of that sort of side effect?

Note that GLP1 RAs do decrease hunger, and their effects are very much also psychological. It's not simply a digestion slowing pharmacological effect.

There are a few articles in the news. Nothing substantial yet.
