What strange side effects have you experienced?

I just got the results. I went from an A1C of 14.6 to 6. I am ecstatic!!!

That’s great! Hard work pays off!

I attribute my success to my new provider. "Greyhealth" 🤣

Hated the anhedonia, switching to split dose has helped a lot.

Oh, it didn't help me with split, only to go down in dose

I always said I have no side effects, but I just discovered via Reddit a potential one which I thought was hayfever this whole time...

I've been getting blocked ears. It's a bit like when you get water in them. In my right ear mostly. Turns out a load of people on the UK mounjaro Reddit get the same thing so it's maybe a side effect?

I've never had it before, and it started around the time I started taking Tirz. But it was also April and peak hayfever season so I just assumed.


Today I have horrific nausea but I had surgery Monday, so I'd not pinned in 15 days. Took half my dose yesterday morning and half this afternoon and daaaaamn I should have waited a couple more days. 🤢

I have blocked ears too sometimes- started a few weeks ago. Never realised it was the Reta- makes sense because PCP said my ears looked good!

First day on Tirz felt like being on bad stimulants. You know when you capture a wasp or something in a glass and it panicks and zips around super fast? Felt kind of like that. Couldn't focus on anything though, just frantic energy.

I went down in dose and didn't get that effect again. Curious if anyone experienced that, haven't seen any reports of it.

I would never have even begun to think it was the glp1 until I saw it on Reddit. Literally shocked. And interestingly, I took a break for surgery and haven't had it the whole time. So there's something in it, I think!

Motion sickness when riding passenger for longer than 5 minutes.

Unexplained weight loss.

Whenever I start Tirz again my body feels like sore like a just did a full body work out. Even now my neck muscles are still sore.

Here are some side effects that I have experienced. I am only 3 months in 🙂.

Not being able to sleep/waking up at 4 every morning.

Ringing in ears. Not as bad now

When I raise my dosage I know that I need to make sure to use Merlax.

All tolerable and I have found that I definitely need more protein. Start protocols with the Merlax. Eat right and DRINK water

Rapid weight loss can also cause temporary issues by inducing "proprioceptive recalibration demands, further compromising vestibular adaptation":

Wow, interesting read. I recently started having mild positional vertigo and an ear pressure issues in my left ear. Never even considered that it could be a semaglutide side effect. It’s a minor inconvenience but I understand how it could be impactful for those who are already a fall risk.

Oh I'll be damned. I've had the BPV since late August, and started tirz in late July. I just figured it was perimenopause, since it's a not-uncommon thing that starts happening at the start of perimeno.

I thought the ear ringing was just me lol. I do wake up at about 3:30am everyday

My tinnitus is mostly triggered by bruxism and mild TMJ like from eating popcorn. For the bruxism, I take magnesium at night along with a marijuana gummy or a more traditional muscle relaxer.

That’s what I felt like on Yohimbine, it’s a miserable experience but you can stop its efficacy by eating food.
