I'm not diabetic either. I know people in the FB group I read are on both Metformin and Rybelsus. I don't think either cause hypoglycemia - just bring the levels down (but worth asking).
One thing Rybelsus (semaglutide) does do is slow gastic emptying. I suppose that could raise levels of some medications (I haven't noticed any mood changes).
Best I can say is ask your doc or GP. Getting insurance to cover it might be tricky, but being on Metformin will definitely help that cause. Often insurance companies will make you "step up" to these more expensive new drugs, and Metformin would be the 1st line treatment for metabolic issues.
