User Reviews for tirzepatide subcutaneous

Finishing my first round (6weeks) and i am thrilled with the results. It’s as if the Rx was the missing key to make all other efforts effective (years of dieting, exercise, hiking, biking, and recently IF, and keto). I started at 240 and have consistently let go of a couple pounds a week. Starting the second round and couldn’t be happier with it overall. Side effects: an itchy, red blotch at injection site lasts most the week till i move the next one. Constipation. More frequent sour stomach, and occasional heartburn (never had that before). I am learning to manage those things and the consider it well worth the benefits of getting to a healthy weight. Read More Read Less

I started taking November 1, 2022, at 308.2lbs. In the month of November, my weight reached as high as 320 lbs. I am now 249 lbs. It took my body some time to adjust to the medicine and for the weight to start coming off. I have had many interruptions of treatment as the pharmacy cannot keep doses in stock. Overall; I am very satisfied with my results. My side effects have been minimal.

I take an injection every Saturday. Everything worked great until the second week. I developed diarrhea. It has lasted off and on now for the 5th day. I hate to have to stop taking it. I'm 74, and for the first time in my life, food and hunger have ceased control of me. It is such a wonderful feeling. The diarrhea is the reason for a 4-star instead of a 5-star.

Started on 2.5 and was ok minimal side effects. Titrated up to 5.0 mg and last 2 days my body hurts when touched. Hurts to hug my 5 yo; even clothing hurts. Bummed, the weight was finally beginning to shift, but I’m not taking another injection of 5mg. Will see what my provider says

Started on 5mg’s. By second day, had very weird sensation, my whole body was very sensitive to the touch but fortunately it went away within two days. By second week, horrendous sulphur burps and running to the bathroom constantly, horrible stomach cramping. Went off it for a week and then tried the half dose of 2.5. No side effects at all. Slightly decreased appetite but no stomach problems. Debating whether to increase up to 5 again after a couple of weeks to see if my body is more used to it and can handle it better.
