Hunger on injection day?

[BubbaZ]

I have noticed the last few weeks that on my injection day for Tirz, I am hungrier than normal. I have never had this issue before. This is specifically AFTER the injection.

Anyone else experience this?

What's your dose and how long at that dose? When you titrate up it should help that.

Tirzepatide has a half-life of ~5 days, so some people experience what you're finding.

A solution is split-dosing (half the weekly total, pinned every 3.5 days or so). Another is pinning on a different interval -- every six days or every five days -- but reducing the dosage.

I don’t feel like I need to titrate up, the next day I am fine and even on the day of the injection I am fine. It is just by the afternoon of the day I get the injection that I am feeling it. Plus I am already at 15mg.

In that case I would really go with what indolent stated above if it's really bothersome for you. I myself normally get the hunger back the day before my pin. I roll with it and use that time to cram in more protien

A LOT of my rat family stuck to a 5 day schedule and kept the actual dose they took lower. Didn't have that issue. (most are just maintaining now)
Some also added a tiny bit of sema every 7 days.

Normal response...for me, the first day of pinning is not noticeable, I might start some burps and rumbling overnight, but the food noise drops by the next day, and even more the third day...then it levels and yeah, by the fifth, sixth day food noise starts to build...I have been trying a split dose the last 3-4 weeks and I find it to be better. If I change from that, it would be to do a 5 or 6 day between dose schedule...GL with your journey!... 👍 😎
