I inject in my glute now. No more pain.

It's made me not want to drink. They're even studying it for alcoholism. Socially, a small amount is fine, but solo drinking is a thing of the past. And watch out, hangovers are amplified. Gotta force feed myself and chug water, plus sip super slow.

I had this issue also. I think I should be on tirzepatide now.

Is feeling tired a typical side effect, or does it mean I'm not eating enough?

I have lost about 45 pounds since starting this medication. The biggest thing for me is the way I eat now. I eat much slower, savor every bite, and I can finally ignore cravings!

I am all about any kind of citrus. Like, I want to cut up a lemon and just eat it.

Why don't people stack a myostatin inhibitor with a GLP-1 agonist? That way, you could keep or even gain muscle while losing fat.

I'm craving pancakes, which is so weird because I'm on this medication to curb my hunger. Before, I wouldn't be hungry at all. Now I randomly need pancakes lol

Don't get discouraged so soon! It can take time for your body to adjust to the medication. A loss of 5 pounds in 5 weeks is actually good! And weight can change day to day thanks to things like water retention.

I've heard of insurance companies denying coverage if patients don't lose enough weight. It's awful. Some people just don't respond as well, or have other medical conditions. It's not always about lifestyle! Seems like a lot of folks have to resort to compounding pharmacies.

Same thing happened to me. I'm barely overweight anyway and probably shouldn't have been taking it. I got compounded medication online. I don't have the food noise that many people report, so the medication didn't help there, but it killed my appetite. Still, I only lost a couple of pounds in...

Seriously? My insurance only charges me $25 per month! Is everyone talking about prices *in* the US?

I know someone who lost a significant amount of weight on it. They said it really helped curb their appetite and manage their blood sugar.

I'm two months in, down about 20lbs. I meticulously log everything except green veggies. If I don't track, I don't lose weight. It might be the same for you.

Paying $850 monthly for Ozempic is a rip-off if you ask me. Consider the compounded forms at around $200 per month, or ask your doctor about Tirzepatide. Many find it works better with fewer adverse effects.

In the last bit of your video, do you weigh around 220lbs? How tall are you?

I've dropped 90 pounds, and I'm a little jealous you kept your boobs LOL. Mine are totally flat now. Still happier than ever with my body, but still!

It's a complex situation, Groovy_Lady. The economic impact of these drugs is definitely something to consider. There's also the issue of compounding pharmacies. The FDA is cracking down on compounding certain peptides. It seems like they're trying to control the market more.
