Knapp, the father of four young children, had struggled with obesity. His own father died of a heart attack at 54.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-8de1f9\">\u201cIt was just like the drive and the motivation that maybe once would have been there was no longer there at all,\u201d Knapp said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-e05557\">\u201cI really was motivated in theory to want to get into the gym more, to want to re-evaluate my diet, but I was finding it just very hard to take step one, which was not normal for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-nbc-section-heading\"><strong>\u2018It is not in their heads\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"anchor-5c843c\">The medical name for the phenomenon is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3181880\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anhedonia<\/a>, said Dr. Christopher McGowan, a gastroenterologist and obesity medicine specialist based in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-e7235e\">It\u2019s unexplored and anecdotal in the context of GLP-1 drugs, but some patients report a general decrease in interest, pleasure and excitement in activities they previously enjoyed like eating out or socializing, he noted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b3f8fa\">\u201cIt is not in their heads. We are absolutely hearing this from people,\u201d McGowan told TODAY.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b06247\">\u201cOne patient described to me as just a feeling that the lights had dimmed, but you couldn\u2019t really explain why.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-8948ca\">Anhedonia is not currently listed as a side effect for Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound, some of the most popular weight loss drugs currently available.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-ae1a6a\">Lilly, the maker of Mounjaro and Zepbound, told TODAY in a statement: \u201cPatient safety is Lilly\u2019s top priority, and we actively monitor, evaluate, and report safety information for all our medicines. If anyone is experiencing any side effects while taking any Lilly medication, we encourage them to speak with their healthcare provider. Additionally, anyone experiencing side effects from a Lilly medicine can call The Lilly Answers Center at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979).\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-5fc63b\">Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, said in a statement, in part, that the medications\u2019 \u201cefficacy and safety have been extensively demonstrated in people with obesity\/overweight with robust evidence for improving health outcomes. &#8230; We remain committed to patient safety and transparency by maintaining up-to-date safety information and collaborating closely with health authorities and regulatory bodies worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7e81a9\">It\u2019s unclear how frequently anhedonia occurs in people taking GLP-1 drugs because it wasn\u2019t studied in clinical trials, but it\u2019s not common \u2014 far more patients report positive effects like improved mood, confidence and energy, McGowan said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-71d650\">The medicines work by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/diet-fitness\/is-ozempic-safe-rcna183494\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">targeting receptors in the brain and body<\/a>, including the hunger and reward centers, so food tastes less delicious, leading to weight loss. But when interest in food suddenly changes,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/diet-fitness\/weight-loss-drugs-holidays-rcna184381\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">life can feel different<\/a>&nbsp;since food is deeply tied to emotion, comfort, celebration,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/diet-fitness\/ozempic-weight-loss-magic-pill-rcna157802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stress relief<\/a>&nbsp;and social connection, the doctor noted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-442f92\">The known&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/diet-fitness\/oprah-winfrey-constipation-glp-1-weight-loss-drug-rcna253854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">side effects of GLP-1 drugs<\/a>, including nausea, bloating and fatigue, can also impact mood, energy and interest in activities, he added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\" readability=\"1.5\">\n<div class=\"size-large\">\n<div class=\"size-large\">\n<div class=\"size-large\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;h=500&amp;crop=1 375w, https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=575&amp;h=766&amp;crop=1 575w, https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=775&amp;h=1033&amp;crop=1 775w, https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=975&amp;h=1299&amp;crop=1 975w, https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1175&amp;h=1566&amp;crop=1 1175w, https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1375&amp;h=1832&amp;crop=1 1375w, https:\/\/media.nbcnewyork.com\/2026\/05\/knapp.png?fit=499%2C665&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1575&amp;h=2099&amp;crop=1 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1200px) calc(100vw - 350px), 855px\" alt=\"Knapp is now taking a lower dose of a weight-loss drug after a higher dose seemed to reduce his desire to exercise.\"> <\/div>\n<p> <cite><\/cite> <\/div>\n<p><cite>Courtesy Dave Knapp<\/cite><\/div>\n<p><cite>Courtesy Dave Knapp<\/cite><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" readability=\"3\">\n<p>Knapp is now taking a lower dose of a weight-loss drug after a higher dose seemed to reduce his desire to exercise.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-nbc-section-heading\"><strong>How to get help<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"anchor-07ab24\">If a patient feels numb, that could be concerning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-0922d8\">\u201cIf you\u2019re not getting out of bed and not starting your day and really not putting the same effort level and getting the same joy out of your everyday experiences, that\u2019s a problem,\u201d McGowan said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-f99136\">\u201cKnowing that exercise is so important, if someone says, \u2018I don\u2019t even feel like working out anymore when I\u2019m on this medicine,\u2019 that, to me, is a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-90d9b4\">McGowan advised patients to report any emotional symptoms to their doctor. Their dose may need to be adjusted or they may have to switch to a different GLP-1 drug. Depending on the severity of symptoms, the medicine may need to be discontinued, he said. But patients should never abruptly stop their medication without first speaking with their medical team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-c17ce3\">Be intentional about building new sources of reward and fulfillment into your life, including new hobbies and experiences. Exercise is \u201cthe greatest mood booster of all,\u201d McGowan said, so he recommends his patients get active.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b43e71\">Knapp stopped Mounjaro in December, went on the Wegovy pill for about a month, then stopped all GLP-1 drugs for 40 days.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-a5dfdd\">\u201cWhat I learned for me, in talking with my doctors, was that the dose was simply too high for me, and that at the right dose and the right amount, it would give me the metabolic effects I was looking for, allowing me to have the proper level of motivation and drive to do the things I love to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-3666bc\">He\u2019s now on Zepbound, which has the same active ingredient as Mounjaro, but takes a lower dose of the GLP-1 drug, which still helps him manage his blood sugar and control his appetite, but doesn\u2019t erase his motivation to go in the gym, Knapp said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-4c9263\">He advised other GLP-1 patients to pay attention to their mental health.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-37482d\">\u201cIf you\u2019re hearing frequently from the people that you love, like, \u2018Hey, it just seems that you\u2019re less motivated to do some of the things that you used to love. What gives?\u2019 I wouldn\u2019t brush that off immediately,\u201d Knapp said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-955255\">\u201cI would maybe consider and take a mental inventory of what are the things that maybe you used to enjoy that you didn\u2019t, and then bring that to your doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>This story first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/health\/diet-fitness\/ozempic-personality-glp-1-weight-loss-symptom-rcna345729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appeared on TODAY.com<\/a>.
