Your writing on GLP-1s has been so incredibly eye opening! I noticed that โ€˜food noiseโ€™ quiet almost immediately, but the way you articulated it has helped me understand it in a more meaningful way.

How do I know if I can stop my depression medication. In my case, two of them. One in the morning and one in the evening. I no longer feel depressed, but is that the med working? How can I tell?

Great question - and one that would require careful attention from the prescribing doctor and your therapist (if you have one). Itโ€™s wonderful you no longer feel depressed. People are most successful tapering off meds when they have close monitoring for recurrent symptoms and, most importantly, when they have a broad array of non pharmacological coping tools to help manage mental health issues (e.g., an exercise routine, sleep routine, healthy eating habits, a good relationship with food/alcohol/other people etc). Thanks for asking, and good luck!
