Anxiety / Anhedonia / Depression from GLP-1

I was on sema for 7 weeks. (Weg) to be exact. I was on the .25mg dose for 5 and .5mg for 2. I started feeling really anxious around the 4th week. And everything just went downhill from there. I assumed my body was just needing to get use to it but i was wrong. When I moved up a dose things got progressively worse. I was in the ER. I was at the cardiologist and had a heart monitor on. Got abdominal ultrasounds. I couldn’t eat the first couple weeks post shot (im about to hit the month mark). I felt extremely anxious, wishing i was d#ad, any bite of food would make me gag. Even just drinking water made me sick. Never in my life had my anxiety been so bad that i needed anxiety medication. And now i am on some. Slowly im able to eat a bit more but i still struggle a lot with morning anxiety. My stomach feels tight and uncomfortable. With a stinging feeling almost in my chest. Just feeling of fear. I hope i can get back to me soon because this is awful. And i know i am not the only one dealing with this. If youre on here looking for answers hoping it gets better it will🥺 Slowly but surely. Sending hugs to all affected by these drugs🫂

Glp/ weightloss anxiety

I have always had anxiety my entire life but it was manageable for the most part. I have noticed in the past that when i have done fad diets (keto) and dropped a significant amount of weight, i ended up having an anxiety episode. Happened both times with Keto.

Fast forward to this year, i was diagnosed with PCOS and my gyno thought i would benefit from weight loss and suggested i try glp1s. I said sure. I didn’t do any research all i knew was it suppressed hunger and as someone who depended highly on food for emotional support I thought it would be a fantastic idea.

I started the glp1s in early May. I did sema (wgv) .25mg for the whole month and one in the month of June. Then 2 of .5mg in the month of June. I noticed after the first .5mg my anxiety spiked. Wasn’t the worst but it was more than usual. Decided to do the other .5 because i thought my body would just get use to it. Boy was i wrong…. Since last weekend my anxiety has skyrocketed like never before. I was in the ER monday. Everything was clear. Visited my primary doctor and she prescribed me with Buspirone. Ive been taking CBD/thc gummies to help me relax just a little bit throughout the day.

What i am struggling most with is eating. I think i have roughly between 600-900 calories a day. But i cannot eat for the life of me. I can’t drink water, I am constantly gagging. I feel impending doom all day. I just can’t. Every second i regret ever trying those damn things. I wish i appreciated my body for what it was. I wish i tried a more natural way to be healthier not strive to be skinnier. I pray that i stop feeling this way pretty much all day. I truly did not want to depend on anxiety medication to feel better. Which i actually havent by the way. Im tired and exhausted. I feel like i am slowly 💀 my self by not eating and drinking water. I feel so alone in this. I just wish i had someone to relate.
