I miss the nausea

[YoYoFat]

Well I just took a new shot from a fresh vial today, 15mg. Thinking about food makes me want to throw up so I'm wondering if maybe I just had a bad vial. I was on that vial for 3 weeks, threw it away 1 week early. I'll keep this thread posted if anything changes but it seems the food aversion is back. Thanks everyone.

Also I forgot to mention but I don't store my tirz in the freezer, its only a 8 month batch. From what I've read that is not enough to degrade stored at room temp in a cool dark dry place. That was another thing that was worrying me, if I had killed my tirz.

Were you using a 60mg vial?

I understand some concern but this is a bit of an extreme. I never titrated up without feeling well adjusted to the dose. I'm just like the rest of yall in the sense that I can eat small portions before feeling full and only sometimes nauseous. Again, its taken 3 months to get to 15mg, whereas normally it would take 6.

Dude, you titrated up every week! How you felt doesn't matter, the levels of peptide in your body never stabilized and the peptide never got a real chance to do its job

I have heard that if you take a 4-6 week break you can reset the receptors. I'd pause for 4 weeks and then start again at 2.5mg and make sure you give it a full week before increasing in .2mg steps at the most. The other people who have experience this at a year have taken a full year to titrate up to 15mg, unfortunately.

Too long. When I had horrible sides with sema at a dose of 1.5mg once a week. I have never had diarrhoea and vomiting at the same time. It was really bad. I cut sema out completely for 2 weeks. Had zero chemicals in me. But guess what? I dropped 3kgs?! Like what?! Then I felt weird without sema so I reintroduced it with micro dose of 0.15mgs. No further weight loss occurred after readminstration …

Sounds to me like you rushed so fast to get from Point A to Point B that you didn't get to enjoy the trip. You should have spent a minimum of four weeks on each dosing step. It takes about five weeks for the level of tirzepatide in your body to reach peak levels at any specific dose. Ive spent 6+ weeks at dosage steps and I'm going up in 0.5mg increments right now. The way you went about this, you've probably lost a fraction of weight compared to what you would have lost by the time you reached 15mg the right way, at month six or later. Instead you've absolutely saturated your GLP-1 and GIP receptors, and who knows what you've done to your metabolism. And now that you rushed to the finish line so fast, you've basically got zero options, or at least zero good options. What's next? Start stacking reta so fast you have a heart attack? You need to take a step back and use your head here. Me personally I'd stop cold turkey for a receptor reset and try again the right way. Chances are you'll gain a bunch of weight back though. Also, extreme nausea isn't how these meds are intended to work

Agreed. We're not supposed to feel nauseous all the time. That sounds like a miserable existence!

While I think GLP1s are a great tool in helping with overeating and other food disorders, they're not a cure. You should be using GLP1s in conjunction with other tools (therapy, etc) to get to the root of your habits and be able to change them. Otherwise, GLP1s are really just a bandaid and not a solution.

If GLP-1s are a Band-Aid, they're an extremely powerful Band-Aid.

That's right

Taking breaks and restarting has clinically shown that the last effective dose typically no longer works. You still are supposed to start at the beginner doses and titrate up though. Something to keep in mind if you take a break.

Can you site this "clinically shown" information?
