Side effects on Tirz?

[Sasquatch]

After a year of horrible nausea and malaise from low dose Ozempic 0.8mg/week, I had hardly any side effects from tirz going up to 15mg/week in a month, little bit of nausea sometimes and one episode of skin feeling weird. I did use small frequent doses and I am not recommending this approach, but individual side effect responses do seem to be super variable.

So you split up the 15mg/week into how many doses?

Curious because I wonder if a more exact split or bump towards the end of the week?

I haven't yet decided what's best personaly. Thanks

As I had nausea on Ozempic , and I worked out second day dosing worked to reduce it a bit, I just kept going with the same arrangement, gradually building it up over a month. At the start I had expected tirz to only be a bit better for nausea and to need a much lower dose, but I had drastically less nausea, and was pleasantly surprised. Although the higher dose meant it would cost way too much ( $690 Au/mo ) and luckily I found this forum then. Still on 2nd day dosing partly as third day or twice a week is easier to mess up, and partly just being lazy and familiar with that pattern, probably does have less side effects, swapping to weekly I would need to be careful as I have no idea what would happen if I had a 15 mg dose, so still on tirz 4.5mg/2days and 1.4mg reta every 2 days. The benefit of more frequent dosing is really just to minimise side effects or if trying to increase doses more rapidly.

Another possible side effect; cigars don't taste the same any more. It's sort of like what I mentioned with the red wine; not terrible, but an off flavor, and not what I remember from 3 months ago when I had my last one.

I was on 2.5mg Zepbound for 3 months.

Appetite Suppression

Constipation

2nd week had one day of diarrhea. (just once probably due to the shock of the meds)

Very tired until I made sure to eat and drink water or electrolyte powdered water.

The constipation never really left until I switched to retatrutide. For some reason, I'm close to regular and I eat more but no weight gain. Reta rocks!

I've had the typical constipation and nausea but they've been manageable with meds and supplements. One major side effect I never expected was how tirz takes away my chronic neck pain & headaches. I'm so thankful about it but it's always a bummer on the day before my shot when the tirz is wearing off and my pain comes back with a vengeance.
