Started tirzepatide through Gimmecare back in April, lost about 13 pounds since then. Not massive, but it's still something.

Ran Mounjaro for a six-month stretch and dropped 30 pounds. Stopped and gained all 30 right back. Tried ozempic for six months after that and actually gained around five pounds. Now back on tirzepatide and down 27 pounds in five months. Guessing semaglutide just doesn't work for my body.

Dealt with the exact same thing until I made the jump off semaglutide and onto tirzepatide not long ago. Way fewer side effects, no more that bloated feeling, and the weight's coming off again.

Tirzepatide's marketed specifically to help people lose weight, with standout perks like curbed appetite, quieter mental chatter around eating, and cravings that ease up.
Genuinely curious what's holding you back from trying it?

Side effects genuinely run worse than Tirzepatide's. Even at just 4mg, 15% of people ended up vomiting!
No argument that it's more effective though. Testing reta myself because results matter most to me, but can't shake the feeling Tirz probably suits most people better, especially those looking to drop a smaller amount compared to someone at a much higher starting weight chasing maximum loss.
Adverse event data, diabetes population:

The dual-action medication feels like a genuine breakthrough to me, not just for weight loss but for a whole range of other conditions too. So personally I agree it's a real game changer. That said, if this comes from the study I'm thinking of, worth flagging that the findings apply specifically to men with type 2 diabetes, not the general male population. Would love to read the actual paper but can't get past the paywall from my work account. Also a bit skeptical of any medical study leaning entirely on massive datasets to draw associations. Doesn't look like this was a randomized controlled trial either, which in my view carries more weight than a large retrospective analysis pulled from database records.
