That sounds like a terrible experience, sorry you and the wife went through that and somehow the negative side effects STILL persist. This is honestly the first case I’ve ever heard of such an adverse effect.

GLP1s are certainly not for everyone, and if she had that reaction on a starting dosage then it certainly is obvious stopping was the way to go.

That said, for the vast majority of people though, GLP1s are likely going to the key to living longer and carrying less weight (including into old age). At this point, the research is behind the drugs being useful for the vast majority of the population, and the literal millions of people taking these drugs do not seem to be running into such horrific side effects, especially ones that continue after stopping the drugs.

Would you mind sharing which GLP1 she was on? This actually sounds like something that should be more widely known. Throwing up forever is quite a crippling side effect, and since GLP1s are more recently considered primarily brain drugs, I wonder if it triggered a persistent chemical imbalance.

Yeah weirdly enough they’re only taking NAION and gastroparesis cases. Do you know by any chance why that is?

The NAION link is tenuous (research was inconclusive, I have written about this before[0]) and gastroparesis is a known side effect.

This was a great chance to learn the name of the vomiting symptom though — will be looking more into “cyclic vomiting syndrome”

No, sorry.

Yes, CVS. Not the brand :)
