Here are a few links (reminder: Semaglutide is the active medication in Rybelsus which is the pill form of Ozempic and now the FDA approved weight loss shot called Wegovy.

FDA approval of the shot form for obese people w/o diabetes (June 2021):
So you could even push for the shot, but imho Rybelsus is much easier and likely has fewer side effects (since if you do get nausea or gastro sides you could skip a day/etc - weekly shot is harder plus may wear off a bit towards end of week).Hope those help!! If you try it please update w/ how you do. I'm really interested if it can defeat the weight gain from more notorious meds like high dose seroquel, zyprexa, and (most importantly to me Nardil).
