I prescribe these medications to hundreds of patients and I have been on one myself, so I know exactly what that plateau feels like.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Why did my GLP-1 stop working even though I did not change anything?
It is rarely the dose. The most common causes are losing muscle instead of fat, poor sleep raising cortisol, an untreated root issue like insulin resistance, or another medication working against the GLP-1.

How long should I wait before calling a plateau real?
Two weeks of no movement is normal noise. If the scale has been flat for six weeks or more with no changes in how your clothes fit, it is worth investigating.

Can other medications cancel out a GLP-1?
Yes. Many medications prescribed for mood, sleep, or anxiety can drive weight gain, and if the two prescribers are not looking at the same full picture, this can go unnoticed for months.
