Do yourself a favor, and just take GLP1s instead (after talking to your health care professional). The research on the effects is plentiful, they're incredibly effective, and next year by next year you'll have very effective FDA approved (for weight loss) oral GLP1s to take.
Losing weight is almost solved at this point, I'd post links but at this point the substack I run is heavily paywalled -- the research is out there and not hard to find with a quick search.
That sounds like a terrible experience, sorry you and the wife went through that and somehow the negative side effects STILL persist. This is honestly the first case I’ve ever heard of such an adverse effect.
GLP1s are certainly not for everyone, and if she had that reaction on a starting dosage then it certainly is obvious stopping was the way to go.
That said, for the vast majority of people though, GLP1s are likely going to the key to living longer and carrying less weight (including into old age). At this point, the research is behind the drugs being useful for the vast majority of the population, and the literal millions of people taking these drugs do not seem to be running into such horrific side effects, especially ones that continue after stopping the drugs.
Would you mind sharing which GLP1 she was on? This actually sounds like something that should be more widely known. Throwing up forever is quite a crippling side effect, and since GLP1s are more recently considered primarily brain drugs, I wonder if it triggered a persistent chemical imbalance.
