I’ve been on tirze since Jan 2026 and have lost 22lbs. I was on 2.5mg for the first 5 weeks then moved up to 5mg.
The only negative side effect i experienced so far was chills and flu-like feeling after getting my 1st 2.5mg shot. Then of course the occasional constipation and very slight nausea after going up to 5mg
I’ve had steady weight loss since then but the last 3 weeks I felt like my weight has been plateauing. So I asked my provider (dr at a med spa. For context im in asia and the providers here differ than in US) if I can move up to 7.5mg. He said we can do 7.5mg for 2 weeks then go back to 5mg (cause 7.5mg will give me more side effects)
My last shot was Friday last week. Here’s what happened:
- friday: all good, no side effects
- saturday: high appetite suppression, feeling very sleepy
- sunday: gas and burping, diarrhea, nausea, still high appetite suppression
- monday: body aches like the flu, slight nausea, feeling unwell in general
- tuesday (today) - slightly better but i still feel like i have the flu. Nausea. Brain fog. Food aversion (food with lots of seasoning and spices), and for some reason my tastebuds are heightened?? like food taste overly salty or sweet
Anyone else experienced this? Will it go away in the next few days? 🥲 i feel like i wanna go back down to 5mg cause this is kicking my butt 🥺
