It could be low blood sugar, Blair75, I know that if I don't eat regularly, I can get quite irritable! I've had to grab a sugary drink before to stop being so cranky.

I've also heard that some people are secretive about using weight loss meds because they don't want to deal with other people's judgments. I can see that, honestly. People can be real jerks about it, like it's not "real" weight loss or something.

I've seen some people say that sema made their mental health worse. Has anyone switched from tirz to sema and felt better?

Yeah, I've seen that too. I think some people are just jealous or feel insecure about their own struggles with weight, and it comes out as negativity towards others.

I haven't experienced irritability, but I can definitely say that the 'food noise' disappearing has helped my mental health. I don't feel like I'm constantly battling cravings anymore. Less stress overall.

The range on libido response to Reta is really wide - some people report improvement, others report it essentially going away. Four months in and still that pronounced is worth mentioning to whoever prescribes it. Does it feel persistent through the whole month or does it fluctuate with where you are in the injection cycle?
