What happens if I stop taking GLP-1 medications?
When stopping GLP-1 therapy, some patients experience:
- Return of appetite to previous levels
- Potential weight regain if lifestyle habits aren’t maintained
- Loss of metabolic benefits over time
To minimize weight regain after stopping GLP-1s, patients should:
- Transition gradually rather than stopping abruptly
- Maintain healthy eating and exercise habits
- Consider other metabolic support therapies
- Work with your provider on a structured transition plan
Your Defy Medical provider will guide you through the process of stopping or transitioning to ensure the best possible long-term outcomes.
