Has anyone experienced insomnia with Tirz? I just sleep 5 hours a night and don’t feel like I need more. Maybe I’m just stressed with life or the Tirz.
Tirz and insomnia

I still sleep a full night (sometime 8-9hrs) , after one year of Tirz, and above max dose.
I did, in the early days. Sometimes now the day after my shot.Sandman1972 said:
So tirz killed my sleep. I suffer from insomnia anyways, but I was up until 530 AM when I decided to take a benadryl..
I saw my doctor, we found meds that work. I accept that I will be on them until I reach goal / maintenance, and hope that I don't have so much insomnia by the time I get there

I was having poor sleep before Tirzepatide, so I cant say it got worse but it became even more noticeable with the caloric restriction. I spoke to my doctor about adding something and he prescribed something gentle to helo me sleep before finding cjc no dac/ipa. Its cheaper than my doctor prescribed med and works just as well!

Funny you should mention that,,,,, as I sit here at 4am not having slept a wink. I've been getting about 1 full night of sleep a week. The rest of the days I sleep a few hours and usually once every 10 days or so I don't sleep at all. I'm retired so it really doesn't matter that much but I did have to explain to my husband that nothing is wrong, it's just the meds. But is that true? I see other people with the same complaint so I guess it is. I'm hoping as I adjust (switched from Sema a few weeks ago) that it will even out.
I must add that I take prescription sleep meds. Whatever this is doing is defeating even those.
Well, this is tangential, but I have sleep apnea and take the memory card from my AirSense 11 and stick it into OSCAR software (Open-Source C-PAP Analaysis/Reporter) every day so I can look at it. The moment I started Tirz the machine's detection of what it calls "central apnea" events went way up -- and it has stayed up for the last year.
Now, these machines cannot truly detect central apnea (the brain telling you not to breath as opposed to your anatomy closing down your airway) but it does seem to indicate, in my case at least, Tirz is relaxing my respiratory system in some way and making the time I spend before I "turn around" each exhale into the next inhale longer.
My AHI numbers are still good, but I do admit the CPAP machine is no longer is as effective as it was when I first started. But this may be unrelated.

I’m actually experiencing the exact opposite and having intense fatigue. I also work nights so I don’t want to blame Tirz solely but after my last injection, I slept for 2 days straight.
