The percentage of users quoted seems insane: are 10-20% of Americans really on GLP-1??

The numbers across age categories do not correspond to the ones in TFA, but they're also insane, and around 10% average. Combined with 20% vomiting side effects, that would suggest 2% of Americans have been throwing up, which sounds... implausible? Can an American say whether this matches what they're seeing/hearing in their social circles?

And then you stop taking it and life goes back to how it was, because your underlying emotional issues remain untreated
