Do weight loss drugs alter brain chemistry?

Let me start out by saying that i don't have any problem with these drugs being used for weight loss. My understanding about the weight loss drugs is that the underlying process is still CICO, but they suppress the hormone (Ghrelin) which causes us to have hunger pangs and cravings. Once people lose the weight and stop the drugs, they tend to gain back most of the weight according to studies. However, some people in the weight loss drug subreddits also reported feeling exceptionally hungry when they stop the drug. So i am wondering if taking these drugs suppress Ghrelin but when the drugs are stopped, this hormone goes haywire (ie altering brain chemistry) making it worse than it was in the beginning? Or is it just because people have not developed good habits? What are your thoughts on this?
