Ran Wegovy and hit my target weight, but dealing with the side effects turned genuinely brutal. Bad enough that I had to quit after nearly a full year. Kept pushing through because people kept saying it gets better, but it honestly never did. Now four months into Zepbound and genuinely zero side...

People downvoting us over this?! Seriously, do you all think everyone's got insurance covering this medication? There's real people out there scrambling to afford this just to stay alive. Downvote away, honestly could not care less.

Seriously, the number of people unwilling or unable to tell a spouse about taking a medication carrying real potential side effects is genuinely wild. Not a healthy dynamic in my opinion.

What was your weekly average like? Were you counting calories the whole time? Just curious, thanks!

Your pharmacy should be able to supply the needles directly. Mine are covered through insurance, though a box of a hundred runs about ten dollars otherwise.

What combinations has anyone tried alongside this particular compound to amplify weight loss results?

Sitting at 5mg, lost twenty kilos so far. What I save on alcohol alone basically covers the Mounjaro cost. Drinking maybe 15% of what I used to, twice a week now instead of daily.

Personally eating noticeably less overall, though quality has gone up too. Higher quality options generally run pricier, so it basically evens out financially.

I'm with an online provider but have the script sent over for pickup at my neighborhood pharmacy. Comes out to about $117 for brand name ozempic versus $150 going through them directly. Big box pharmacies can run under $100 if there's one nearby.

Knew this crowd would get it! Yesterday was the first time I'd gone in six days. Had to double up on fiber gummies for about three days straight. My doctor suggested Miralax, so that's going on the shopping list next trip.

Getting into working out as a result of the weight loss rather than the other way around is such a common and underappreciated outcome. The OP at 59 lbs down and almost at goal is in the window where the motivation compounds. The workout piece sticking rather than just the weight loss is the...

Ozempic's price-matching the generic now if you're paying out of pocket. Grabbed a pen myself at Costco out in BC for $88 this past Monday.

the non-responder pathway from semaglutide to tirzepatide or retatrutide is well-supported - the dual and triple agonist mechanisms address more receptor types, which produces meaningful additional response in people who didn't get sufficient effect from GLP-1 alone. the transition is worth...

Hovering at 192 after coming down from 277 and thinking that might actually be the right landing spot is such a healthy way to read a stall. 85 lbs is a real change and the 'probably where I should end up anyway' instinct is worth trusting. 260 to 142 in the OP is inspiring but everyone's...

the 'feels like eating a burger' description is so accurate for what a high-caffeine dose does on a suppressed stomach - the adenosine block plus the slowed gastric emptying adds up to something that registers as more filling than it should. 10g is a more livable number once you've been at it a...

The skin improvements alongside the weight loss - less oil production, clearer skin, smaller pores - come up consistently as secondary effects. The sebum reduction in particular seems to be a real metabolic shift rather than just improved diet quality.

0.5mg feeling like nothing the first week is completely normal - it takes several weeks at a consistent dose for blood levels to build enough to see real suppression. The OP's muscle loss concern is a separate question and resistance training plus protein is what determines that outcome more...

190 to 138 with maintenance intact is the result profile that directly answers the comparison for the OP. 5'6" at 174 toward 132 is similar enough that 38 lbs is a genuinely close parallel. How long did active loss take before maintenance kicked in?

10mg tirz and considering cagri is the question the OP is sitting right in front of. The appetite suppression fading at 15mg in the OP is the specific signal people describe as the trigger for adding cagri. What was the motivation for you to add it versus just continuing to push the tirz?

No side effects and the needle size surprise is a really common response from people who were dreading it. The OP's 164 to 120 goal is a clear target. Starting small to confirm tolerance is the right call before the dose builds. How long did it take for anything to feel different for you - first...
