Tirzepatide for Type 2 Diabetes "I have been taking Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes. I am in my 7th week, and the med is doing well. I passed a few days with abdominal difficulties and tiredness when I started, but all is well now at present. The dosage needs to be increased as my sugar levels are not all the way down. I soon get my A1C checked. Prayers it's lowered. So, I feel this med, Mounjaro, is a good med for type 2 diabetes. I have had a decrease in my appetite. By the last 3 to 4 days in the week past shot, I am getting hungry again. Thanks, Mounjaro."

Tirzepatide for Type 2 Diabetes "I am nearing the end of my 3rd week with Mounjaro 2.5 mg. The side effects in the first week were awful: heartburn, sulfur burps, nausea, and slight headache. These side effects lessened by the 5th day. The second week was a little better. The side effects were somewhat better and only lasted for 4-5 days. Fatigue crept in the second week. Now I am on Day 5 of my third week. The main side effects now are acid reflux, slight nausea, and extreme weakness and tiredness. My appetite is really suppressed on Mounjaro. I don’t get hungry at all. So far I have lost 13 lbs in 19 days. The weight loss is great, but the fatigue and weakness are really bad. I am a 63 y/o male, type 2 diabetic for 25 years, currently 252 lbs. This medicine is not for everyone, and I don’t think I will be taking another Mounjaro injection."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I’ve lost about 10 pounds in probably 6 to 8 weeks. I feel okay on this drug. I have experienced some tiredness and fatigue, and some diarrhea as well, but nothing too bad. There was only one week where it was bad enough that I might rethink using it. Now it’s mild and lasts for about 2 days post-shot. Some blurry vision as well. I most likely won’t stay on this drug for the long haul."

Tirzepatide for Type 2 Diabetes "I occasionally experience nausea, but my main concern is constipation. On the day of my injection, I sometimes feel tired, and I also develop a rash around the injection site for approximately three days until the irritation subsides. However, apart from these issues, the medication works wonders in controlling my A1C and blood sugar levels. Additionally, the drug aids in weight loss, which is a welcome bonus. I believe it also provides me with some energy, as I have been able to maintain a regular exercise routine."

Tirzepatide for Type 2 Diabetes "No issues until I began the 7.5 mg dosage. I am achy, tired, very low energy for the second and third day after the shot. These side effects wear off just in time to take the next dose."
