GLP-1 chills

[keangkong]

How long does it take for the GLP-1 chills to pass? Or am I stuck with getting cold super easy as long as I keep these drugs. I’ve been on either reta or tirz for 6 months and I still get cold quite easily.

As a menopausal woman, I’m actually cold all the time, thanks to GLP1s. But in all fairness, I have lost all my insulation.

I also suffer from the "chill". Been on tirz (no more than 5) since July. It's weird because I also have severe hot flashes because I am a woman of age. Tried to pin in down to a specific time , such as 2 days after shot or whatever but have not been able to.
It sucks.

I want someone to do studies on why this happens. The only time this has happened to me is from fasting, after 24 hours of no food, you get cold from your metabolism slowing down to adjust for no calories coming in. I wonder if the chills are tied to calorie consumption, as in we're not eating enough calories due to the meds. If you eat at a moderate calorie deficit while on glp-1's, would that avoid the feeling cold?

Or is it affecting thyroid function through a different mechanism that makes us cold?

I'm super curious, as someone who has run extremely hot all my life, no matter what I've weighed. I mentioned the chills effect to both my menopause doctor and my endocrinologist who Rx'd Zepbound, and neither had a clue, had never heard of it. I want answers!

i always had cold hands and feet because of my thyroid issues, but all of me has been freezing since i started on reta. i prefer it though - i love blankets.

23 days in, and I've been arguing with my "smart" thermostat since day 1. Bastard claims it's set to 70 degrees, when it's obviously well below freezing.

Same deal with Sema. A bit colder than normal.

Hubby and I are both cold all the time on Tirz. Don't know why, we still have plenty of insulation!
