Well yeah having a lobotomy would kind of suck too, especially after anti-psychotic meds were invented.

Pretty god analogy IMO.

I am somewhat worried that Ozempic is going to turn out like Fen-Phen to have some nasty consequences. But for now it seems to be helping people who were doomed to be hungry otherwise.

Medicine is calculate risk. For now, as a new medication, it should be limited to cases where without a solution death is fairly high consequence already. Over time as we find it safer and safer we should relax those requirements.

That seems to largely the case though, not too much abuse I have seen. But im sure there is some. That said, given the pharmocology of the drug it seems reasonable to assume it is likely safe. Most hormone analogs are pretty predictable in how they behave.
