Unexpected Impact of Semaglutide
About a month ago I (M 40s) started taking a microdose of semaglutide. I’m not really all that overweight but started on this medication to hopefully help with some mild sleep apnea after failing CPAP. That’s a work in progress and haven’t lost much weight yet. Not diabetic as well.
Here is the strange part. I’ve struggled with essential tremor since I was a teenager but have had it so long that it’s normalized to me despite it progressing a bit. My tremor is quite variable and ramps up under pressure or physical exertion. I take propranolol on rare occasions but haven’t used it recently. Ever since taking semaglutide my tremor seems to be super mild to close to non existent. Today I assembled a bike (think lots of wrenches) that normally would have left me shaky for the rest of the day but I seem to have no tremor. I also have certain movements like moving my wrists where tremor was quite obvious that are smooth now. I don’t quite get it but I obviously plan on continuing.
Was curious if anyone has any similar experiences.
