I have several patients who got GLP1 meds through websites or specialty clinics who lost weight, stopped the meds, and had the weight come back -- and now complain that the meds didn't work.
"They're not like antibiotics. They don't cure a problem. They're like blood pressure meds. As soon as you stop them, the numbers go back up." I say as empatheticly as I can.
