I picked up 6k shares today at 22.

Another use for GLP-1. My daughter has Down syndrome, OCD and Autism. About 3 years ago she was having meltdowns every day. I literally had to hold her down to keep her from hurting herself.

Eventually ended up putting her in respidone and upon raising dose every few months. That caused weight gain and in general she was just never the same as before the meltdowns started. I started her on semaglutide and B12 for the weight gain. With in 2 days she was back to smiling happy person that I had not seen in years.

I googled and found a few other cases that have had same results as my daughter.

Recent advances show that the gut-brain hormone ghrelin modulates aggressive behaviors. As the gut-brain hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) reduces food intake and sexual behaviors its potential role in aggressive behaviors is likely. Therefore, we investigated a tentative link between GLP-1 and aggressive behaviors by combining preclinical and human genetic-association studies. Bla bla bla. The influence of acute or repeated injections of a GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist. Overall, GLP-1 signaling suppresses acquisition of aggressive behaviors via central neurotransmission and additional studies exploring this link are warranted.
