Hello everyone! 
I'm excited to share my journey with tirzepatide. I began on September 1st, 2025, starting with a 2.5 mg dose.
At the start, I was a 41-year-old guy weighing around 320 lbs. For two decades, my weight always hovered above 260 lbs. I've battled high blood pressure for the last decade, and in the past 3-4 years, I struggled with constant sugar cravings, exhaustion, heart flutters, and other obesity-related issues.
I avoided bariatric surgery because I was too nervous. While researching semaglutide, I discovered tirzepatide was an option and supposedly more effective. I'm so happy I decided to try it.
Here's my dosage schedule: 1 month at 2.5 mg, 3 months at 5 mg, 2 months at 7.5 mg, and I've been on 10 mg for about 3 weeks. Before this, I never really exercised. For the initial 3 months, I walked about 10k steps daily. For the past 3 months, I've been hitting the gym for a 40-minute brisk walk followed by 20 minutes of strength training. I feel guilty if I miss a day at the gym. Going every day has been very motivating.
Currently, I weigh around 255 lbs. My first goal is to reach 220 lbs. Besides some occasional digestive upset, I haven't experienced any side effects. I get regular blood work done (August, October, December, and February). Previously, I had a fatty liver, elevated cholesterol, and high blood sugar. All these have returned to normal levels. My blood pressure has also improved significantly.
The prefilled pen isn't available here in Turkey yet, so it's sold in vials. I used single-use vials for the 2.5, 5, and 7.5 mg doses. Now that I'm on 10 mg, I'm splitting a 15 mg dose. I draw it from the vial with a long needle, remove the air, and switch to a 30G 4mm needle I found online.
I wanted to share my experience for anyone hesitant about trying tirzepatide. I enjoy reading about other people's experiences and successes here. Wishing everyone a healthy journey!
