WRITERS: anyone else taking Semaglutide (Ozempic™, Wegovy™, Rybelsus™, etc) and finding it demotivates you for writing?
GLP-1 agonists aren't just antidiabetic drugs that cause weight loss, they also seem to reduce reward-seeking behaviour, eg. alcoholism. And for me, writing has always been my obsession.
But I'm on Rybelsus (for type II diabetes) and it's been a real slog this past year. I'm just starting a project that SHOULD be obsessive and instead I'm just … meh, don't wanna.
