Mounjaro: A year later!

Hong Kong Yanpep International
One year with BP and A1c improvements together is the compound metabolic outcome that makes the clinical case for continuing past the weight goal - both markers moving together is more predictive of cardiovascular risk reduction than either alone.
 
know from other degradation tests and better labs that tirzepatide doesn't degrade much after 90 days. watch out for AFI though—they've failed blind tests. not surprising since they use the wrong machines to identify peptides. someone should put up a warning about that.
 
Gentle reality check: people without bad side effects don't post. If 100 people take it and 60 have no issues, you never hear from them. You only hear from the 40 who struggle. Reddit's full of side effect stories and sure, they're real. But that's adverse selection bias. Nobody's lying but the echo chamber makes it seem way more common and worse than it probably is.
 
My regular doc pushed me toward it and wrote the script. Had tried wegovy first for 12 months, then asked if I wanted switching. Since I'm near their headquarters and know lots of folks working there, went with the Lilly option. Got it filled same day. Between wegovy and mounjaro dropped from 340 to 200 lbs.
 
Got diagnosed ten years back and was stuck on metformin, which did a number on my stomach. A friend who's a nurse steered me toward mounjaro, and I've gone from 250 down to 185 over the past year with a 34 waist now. I'm 67, hitting the gym daily, and basically back to what I weighed in college. Honestly, at the very least you owe yourself the chance to try it. Oh, and A1c's sitting at 6.3 now.
 
Pretty much agree with you. Lost weight and feel fantastic on Mounjaro myself. My girlfriend has too. So has my neighbor. I'm baffled watching overweight friends deal with blood pressure issues, joint pain, breathlessness, and everything else when there's a well-proven fix out there running around $2000 for the first six months. My pharmacist told me he thinks things are heading toward a point where, in this city, only people without money will still be carrying extra weight. Or the ones who simply opt against taking Mounjaro, of course.
 
100% certain I'd regain it all. If diet and exercise alone could've kept my weight stable, Mounjaro wouldn't have been necessary in the first place.

For me, Mounjaro's a lifelong medication, full stop.
 
Been on a bariatric multivitamin plus iron since 2017, coming up on nine years now. Zero issues, bloodwork's been perfect the entire time. On mounjaro since the fall of 2022. This medication genuinely saved my life.
 
Stopped Mounjaro roughly twenty months back. Kept a close eye on weight at first and stuck to smaller portions. Around the half-year point it dropped a bit more unexpectedly, then again once that stretch doubled. Total drop since stopping now sits at 7kg, even though that wasn't the actual goal. Food noise was never really the issue, more that hunger management had already become second nature by then.
 
Effort pays off health-wise. Got my diagnosis January 2026 and started Mounjaro right at the end of that month. Six months on, down 90 pounds, and my A1C dropped from 13.4 all the way to 5.6.
