CNN article: Users of diabetes drug Mounjaro lost more weight than those on Ozempic, large study finds

I think I'm starting to see why so many people are switching from sema to tirz. I just bought a kit of sema, so I'll stick with that for a while and see how I do, but this article really got me thinking.

Tirzepatide crushes it. Sema is good too though and may be cheaper for maintenance. That is my plan at least

I like Tirzepatide

Some people have great results with sema. I kept it up for 9 months with compounded sema b/c I was sure it would work and I felt a lot of appetite suppression - no more binge eating a pizza when stressed, less snacking, easier to stick to my diet, etc. But, for me, the weight loss was slow, and some months, non-existent. I also had some side effects on the larger doses of sema - crazy constipation, some fatigue. I learned I couldn't take sema and have a solid work out that day or the next, so I had to plan around my fitness schedule. My med spa PA wasn't surprised at all and seemed to think this was good/average progress. When I started backing off sema and adding AP tirz, I felt the difference immediately - my energy was back, constipation was gone, no fatigue. Also, food noise has been greatly reduced, even on a smaller dose.

To be honest, I am a newbie and I am very curious, but I am afraid of injections. Will it hurt?

I started on sema last Dec and it worked for me for a lil while. Dropped about 40 pounds but I still have at least 30 more to go. My body adjusted to it sometime by the end of summer so I made the switch and I'm back to losing again.

I took my first injection of ZepBound in my abdomen yesterday, and barely felt it. It’s subcutaneous, so it’s a short and thin needle.
