Red Badger(From the article):" .. she (Victoria Rutledge) began taking semaglutide, also known as Wegovy, after being prescribed the drug for weight loss.
(Colloquially, it is often referred to as Ozempic, though that is technically just the brand name for semaglutide that is marketed for diabetes treatment.)
Her food thoughts quieted down. She lost weight.
But most surprisingly, she walked out of Target one day and realized her cart contained only the four things she came to buy.
“I’ve never done that before,” she said.
The desire to shop had slipped away.
The desire to drink, extinguished once, did not rush in as a replacement either.
For the first time—perhaps the first time in her whole life—all of her cravings and impulses were gone. It was like a switch had flipped in her brain."

" As semaglutide has skyrocketed in popularity, patients have been sharing curious effects that go beyond just appetite suppression.
They have reported losing interest in a whole range of addictive and compulsive behaviors: drinking, smoking, shopping, biting nails, picking at skin.
Not everyone on the drug experiences these positive effects, to be clear, but enough that addiction researchers are paying attention."

(My Comment) :This deserves additional study, especially regarding compulsive disorders
One case of overcoming a behavior disorder doesn't prove anything,
but the drug deserves further study for "off label" usage.
