How long do I stay on this?

Also asked: how long do I take it, forever, when do I stop, do I have to stay on it, maintenance dose Answer: There's no fixed length. Some people use a GLP-1 for several months to break a pattern and then work with their provider on stepping down. Others stay on it long term, the way you'd stay on a blood pressure medication.

Obesity behaves like a chronic condition, so the honest version is this: many people regain weight after stopping. Your provider will talk through tapering, maintenance dosing, and what to keep in place before you come off.
