Semaglutide begins trial for Cocaine addiction

[Ghoul]

After anecdotal and observational reports of Semaglutide treated cocaine addicts significantly reducing or entirely stopping use, formal trials to evaluate its potential as a treatment for cocaine use disorder are approved and set to begin.

This follows successful trials demonstrating Sema's effective use in treating alcoholism, and strong evidence showing major drops in opioid use and overdose among populations being treated with GLP class medications.

In my opinion, many addictions are essentially "hijaking" the same potent mechanisms that evolved to influence energy intake behavior, aka "appetite", with "food noise", the colloquial term for the psychological drive to eat, often incessant despite having satisfied requirements, being silenced along with "coke noise", "nicotine noise", or "alcohol noise".

Very interesting. I expect results will be good based on the anecdotal data we have so far.

I know there are other GLP-1s that are better on paper for weight loss, but I wonder if this is an area where Semaglutide really shines. It may not be top of the pile for WL, but the consensus seems to be it is absolutely the best appetite suppressant.

Glad I bought the dip!
