| Tirzepatide side effects went away after about week for me. |

| Mine have. However, I had to go off of it cold turkey when insurance snafu, and that was horrible. I honestly thought I had ruined my gastric system forever. Never again. Once back on I feel normal again. |

| OP, thanks for asking this question, I'm wondering it too. I am on week 6, almost 7, of Wegovy at a .25 dose, which is what I started at. I have not increased the dosage at all. Every week i have at least one day, if not more than 1, where I feel like I have a stomach bug. At the risk of TMI I have projectile liquids coming out from both ends. It feels totally unsustainable to have that as a side effect ongoing! I don't know if it's worth a conversation with my PCP about trying a different drug, or if this is just the physical cost of GLP-1s and most people live with it, but while I'm thrilled with the weightloss, I have little kids an fulltime job that cannot sustain these side effects! |

| I’m on Zep. The only side effect I still get is high anxiety day 1. Then nothing else. |

| You need to eat a little more. The side effects will be less |

| I am on Wegovy. I did 2 months at 0.25, 2 months at 0.5, and am at 1.0 now. I’ve essentially lost all side effects. No more nausea. No stomach issues. The GLP-1 actually improved my energy levels but I think that’s because I am insulin resistant and pre-diabetic so it’s helping regulate my sugar levels. I used to suffer from intense fatigue spells following exercise and eating but no more! |

| I felt like crap for 24 hours after the first shot but then felt great and have had no side effects since. I take Gruns and have not even had constipation. That being said I’m on 2.5 mg of tirzepatide. |

| I’m on Zepbound and my biggest side effect have been food aversions to meat and dairy. They lessened a little but didn’t go away. My kids call me a fake vegan now. I’ve been on it since July and sometimes can eat some red meat, especially near the end of the week. I rarely can eat any poultry or cheese. |

I thought you meant never again would you put your body through withdrawal of glps. What will you do if you can't get them again? |

| You need to change your injection location. And never take it on an empty stomach. Eat some protein first, then take your shot. |

| I had mild constipation the first few months. Other than that, I have had zero side effects. I am down 50 pounds after two years. |

Op I started on wegovy had sane issues stopped after four months Now on zepbound same dosage as you and not sustainable in my opinion I’ve been on it a month it sucks. I told my doctor I would try another month but if it stays like this I’m not willing to term this bad and not function to lose weight |

Been on Mounjaro (same as Zepbound) since September 2022 so over 3 years. No issues with side effects anymore.
I’m going great! Lost 70lbs and have maintained well. I changed my diet, workout regularly and feel great! |
