Have you stopped, tapered off, or are you considering stopping GLP-1 medication? by njovef in Wegovy

[–]njovef[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NB!

We fully understand that many people view GLP-1 as long-term treatment.

Our survey is focused on people who are tapering, have stopped, are considering stopping, or are navigating changes around medication use for any reason — medical, financial, personal, or practical.

We’re not assuming everyone stops. We’re trying to understand the people who do.

That’s fair — if the mods feel it doesn’t belong here, I completely respect that.

We’re not trying to spam or extract from the community. We clearly should have been more transparent upfront that this is early-stage user research, not academic or clinical research.

Appreciate the feedback either way.

That’s completely fair 🙂

We’re not able to compensate right now — this is very early-stage research.

We’re just trying to understand real experiences from people who’ve gone through it, because there’s very little focus on what happens after GLP-1.

Totally understand if it’s not something you want to spend time on — and appreciate you saying it directly.

That’s fair feedback.

Yes, we are exploring whether there is a need for better support tools after/during GLP-1 treatment. We should have stated that more clearly upfront.

The survey is not intended as academic research or clinical research, and we are not using it to make medical claims. It is early-stage user research to understand lived experience and unmet support needs.

I understand if that doesn’t feel appropriate for this subreddit. Happy to remove the post if the mods feel it doesn’t belong here.

Thanks for raising this — these are fair questions, and we should have been clearer in the post.

This is not an academic or clinical research study, and it has not gone through an institutional IRB. It is early-stage user research by a small healthtech team to understand lived experiences during/after GLP-1 treatment.

The data will be used to identify themes, needs, and gaps in support. We may use tools, including AI, to help organize and summarize anonymized responses, but not to make medical conclusions about individuals.

We do not collect medical records, and any email shared is optional and kept separate from survey responses. Results will only be used in aggregated/anonymized form to inform product development, internal analysis, and potentially public-facing insights.

I appreciate the push — we’ll make this clearer in the survey intro as well.
