Weight Loss Medications and Their Risks with Blood Pressure and Antidepressant Drugs

People really think they can just pop a pill and expect their body to magically obey? This isn’t a video game where you hit a button and gain 1000 health points. You’re messing with your hormones, your kidneys, your brain chemistry-and then acting surprised when things go wrong? Wake up. Your body isn’t a vending machine.

And don’t even get me started on how everyone thinks doctors are to blame. You didn’t ask the right questions. You didn’t read the damn leaflet. You just wanted the skinny jeans.

Stop blaming the system. Start taking responsibility. Or keep fainting in the grocery store. Your choice.

OMG I KNEW IT. I KNEW THE BIG PHARMA GREMLINS WERE HIDING THIS. 🤯

So Wegovy is just a Trojan horse for corporate-controlled hypotension? And they’re hiding the fact that it messes with your antidepressants so you’ll stay dependent on BOTH? That’s why my mood tanked after starting it-I thought it was me, but NO. It’s the 5G + Big Pharma + FDA cover-up.

Also, I read on TruthFeed that GLP-1 drugs are secretly made with microchips from China. That’s why my phone glitches when I take it. Coincidence? I think NOT.

Someone call Alex Jones. And my psychiatrist. And maybe a priest.

😭🙏💊

This is such an important post. I’m a nurse and I’ve seen this happen way too often-patients on semaglutide who come in dizzy, confused, or depressed, and no one connects the dots.

One patient on lisinopril and Saxenda had her BP drop to 88/54. She thought she was just ‘getting used to it.’ She didn’t realize she was at risk of falling. We had to adjust her dose and space out her meds. Simple fix, but only if someone asks.

Always tell your doctor about every medication-even supplements. And if you’re on an SSRI and feel ‘off’ after starting a GLP-1, get your levels checked. It’s not in your head. It’s in your stomach.

Thanks for sharing this. More people need to know.

Thank you for laying this out so clearly. The clinical data here is compelling, but what’s more alarming is how rarely this gets discussed in primary care.

GLP-1 medications are being prescribed with the same ease as a vitamin. But they’re not benign. The pharmacokinetic interactions-especially with ACE inhibitors and SSRIs-are well-documented in peer-reviewed journals, yet rarely integrated into prescribing workflows.

I’d suggest adding a footnote about the role of CYP450 enzymes in SSRI metabolism, which may also be indirectly affected by delayed gastric emptying. It’s not just absorption-it’s enzymatic clearance too.

Still, the core message is spot on: know your meds. Ask questions. Don’t assume safety.

You think this is bad? Wait till you hear about the hidden fluoride in Wegovy. They’re slowly poisoning us to make us more compliant. And the fact that your antidepressants stop working? That’s not absorption-it’s neural suppression. The FDA knows. Your doctor knows. They just don’t care. You’re a statistic. A dollar sign. A walking prescription pad. And now you’re dizzy? Good. That’s the side effect of being a cog in their machine. 🤖💊 #WakeUp #BigPharmaLies

Oh please. This is why Americans can’t handle their own bodies. In the UK, we don’t just throw pills at every problem-we actually think about it. We have a National Health Service that doesn’t let you become a walking pharmacy just because you want to fit into a dress.

Here you are, risking hypotension and serotonin imbalance because you can’t resist the latest ‘miracle’ drug. Meanwhile, in London, people just eat less and walk more. No drugs. No drama. Just… discipline.

And now you’re surprised your brain stopped working? Maybe it’s not the medication. Maybe it’s the culture of instant fixes.

Also, I read this on the BMJ. It’s true. We warned you. But no. You wanted the pill. So now you’re dizzy. Classic.

Big thanks for this. I’ve had patients tell me their Zoloft ‘stopped working’ after starting Ozempic, and I just assumed it was depression returning. Turns out, it’s the delayed gastric emptying. I didn’t even think of that.

Now I ask every patient on GLP-1s: ‘When did you start feeling off?’ If it’s within 2–4 weeks of starting the shot, I check their SSRI levels. Simple. Cheap. Life-changing.

Also-time your meds. Take your antidepressant at breakfast, your GLP-1 at dinner. Two hours apart. Works like a charm. No need to panic. Just be smart.

You’re not alone. And this isn’t your fault. It’s just bad communication. Let’s fix it together.

MY BESTIE DID THIS AND NOW SHE’S ON A WHEELCHAIR 😭

She took Wegovy + lisinopril + sertraline. Fainted in Target. Broke her wrist. Now she’s got a scar and a PTSD diagnosis. The doctor said ‘it’s just low BP’ but nooo. It was a TRAGEDY. 🚑💔

Also I saw a TikTok that said GLP-1s are made from lizard venom. Is that true?? 😳

PLEASE STOP TAKING THESE DRUGS. YOUR BODY ISN’T A LAB RAT. 🐉💉 #SaveOurBrains

Of course this is happening. People think they can take a drug that makes them feel full and then act like it’s harmless. You’re not a human. You’re a snack. And now you’re dizzy? Good. Maybe next time you’ll think twice before trying to be ‘perfect.’

And antidepressants? You’re on them because you’re emotionally unstable. Now you’re on a drug that slows your stomach? Of course your mood crashes. Your brain is already fragile. You didn’t need a chemical grenade tossed into it.

Stop blaming the medicine. Start fixing your life. Eat real food. Walk. Breathe. Cry. Stop looking for a pill to fix your soul.

Ironically, the most dangerous thing here isn’t the drug-it’s the assumption that a single pill can solve a complex problem. Weight loss isn’t a chemistry equation. It’s a lifestyle, a psychology, a relationship with your body.

GLP-1s are tools. Not magic. And if you’re using them without understanding how they interact with your other meds, you’re not being proactive-you’re being reckless.

But also-this post is great. It’s detailed, evidence-based, and non-judgmental. We need more of this. Not fear. Not hype. Just clarity.

Let’s not vilify the medicine. Let’s just use it wisely.

I started Saxenda last month. My BP dropped from 140/90 to 110/70. Felt great. No dizziness. But my Zoloft? Yeah, I noticed I was crying more. Didn’t think twice. Then I read this. Oh. Okay.

So I started taking my antidepressant at 7am and my shot at 7pm. Two weeks later, I feel like me again.

Just saying-this stuff matters. And it’s not that hard to fix. Just space it out. Talk to your doc. Don’t panic. Just adjust.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m saving this.

Took my SSRI before my shot. No more brain fog. Done.

It’s fascinating how we’ve turned medicine into a buffet. Take one. Take two. Add a supplement. Throw in a stimulant. And then wonder why we feel like a broken machine.

But here’s the deeper truth: we’re not just treating bodies. We’re treating isolation. We’re treating shame. We’re treating the belief that we’re not enough unless we’re smaller.

GLP-1s don’t fix that. They just mask it. And when they interact with other meds? The mask cracks.

Maybe the real question isn’t ‘How do we manage these interactions?’

But ‘Why do we need so many drugs to feel okay?’

Just thinking out loud.

Let’s cut through the noise. The 27% spike in hypotension reports? That’s not a coincidence-it’s a direct correlation with the 320% increase in prescriptions. Basic epidemiology.

But here’s what no one’s saying: 80% of these patients were never properly screened for baseline electrolytes, renal function, or cardiac history before starting GLP-1s. That’s malpractice. Not ‘interaction.’

And the 8.5% SSRI absorption drop? That’s not ‘delayed gastric emptying’-that’s poor clinical monitoring. If your doctor didn’t check your levels after 4 weeks, they’re not doing their job.

This isn’t about the drugs. It’s about lazy medicine. And the system rewards it.

Fix the system. Not just the timing.
