[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eli Lilly will have a savings card that will bring the price for Zepbound down to $550. It’s still expensive but more palatable than $1000+

I’ve been on Mounjaro for a year and lost nearly 70 pounds. It’s been amazing and has helped me change my eating habits. I can now exercise more - less pain and issues due to being at a lower weight.

Did you or do you have bad side effects like some people report having on Wegovy? I saw some reported side effects with this drug of mild gastric upset. [/quote]

NP. I had pretty bad reflux at night so couldn't eat much after 5pm. I had reflux before the medicine, like I normally couldn't eat after about 7pm, but this ramped it up. That was my only side effect. I stopped it for a colonoscopy at the end of the summer and haven't gotten back on. I haven't gained any weight back either, so pretty happy about that. I was on it 6 months and lost 25 lbs.[/quote]

I had an almost identical experience. I lost 35 pounds before getting off Wegovy last June. I would have stayed on, but I lost enough weight that my insurance company would no longer pay for it. Haven't lost more weight but haven't gained any back either. [/quote]

Your experience is not the norm. Even the pharma companies say that 2/3 of GLP1 patients out the weight back on when they discontinue the drug. From what I’m seeing in the wild, it’s much higher than that. [/quote]

Do you have a source? [/quote]

Straight from NovoNordisk. As many doctors have found, people who go off these drugs often regain more.

Isn’t that true of all weight loss?[/quote]

Not to the same extent. As we stated, GLP1s cause massive muscle loss, which lowers metabolism.

No it doesn't. Rapid weight loss causes massive muscle loss if care isn't taken to preserve lean mass. [/quote]

It’s fine, calm down there. Why so bitter? I don’t know anyone obese who uses it, but the women I know who use it for 10-20 pound losses to get skinny all look wonderful and healthy. And they are happy. So stop spreading half truths meant to hurt people and make them feel bad about decisions that make them happy.

[b]When you are thin, it’s very easy to build lean muscle mass. [/b]

This isn’t necessarily true. It’s entirely individual.[/quote]
