Ozempic is the most successful drug launch in pharmaceutical history. It's also creating what many are calling a new addiction epidemic — one the industry designed from the start.
Here's how it works: take Ozempic, lose weight. Stop Ozempic, gain it all back plus more. The drug doesn't fix anything — it suppresses appetite while you're on it. The moment you stop, your body rebounds harder than before. The result? Lifelong dependency. Monthly injections. Forever.
Novo Nordisk didn't accidentally create a drug you can't quit. A drug that requires lifetime use is the pharmaceutical holy grail. At roughly $1,000/month, a single Ozempic patient generates $12,000/year in revenue. Multiply by tens of millions of users worldwide. That's not medicine — it's a subscription service for your body.
Reports are emerging of severe side effects: stomach paralysis, suicidal thoughts, muscle wasting, and "Ozempic face." Users describe feeling trapped — unable to afford the drug long-term but unable to stop without devastating weight rebound. The 5,778 upvotes this got on r/conspiracy reflect a growing realization: Big Pharma did it again.
