I weighed myself the other day and I was at 222(I’m down 37 pounds since starting Tirz in January). The next day I made a 10 hour road trip over 2 days. First half was 6 hours; 4 hours the next day. The day after I got home(yesterday), I was 229. Today I’m 227. Is it plausible that this is just swelling or water weight from a long drive? I wouldn’t think anything of it if it was just a couple of pounds but that’s 7 whole pounds. Are big weight fluctuations normal? Also I just got off my period about 5 days ago, if that matters.

I’m on month 4 of being on the shot and I’ve had little to no side effects. This past week I’ve had random bouts of dizziness. I’ve been on the same dose(6.4 mg)since mid March and this is the first I’ve experienced dizziness. I don’t know if it’s the tirzepitide. Just curious if anyone has experienced dizziness as a side effect and how you remedied it. I’m fine with tapering down if I need to. This is just really the only(if only)side effect I’ve had at all.

I’ve been dealing with pulsatile tinnitus for 3 years. Started when I was around 7 months pregnant. I noticed about a week ago that it just kind of stopped. Has anyone had that happen, where the whooshing just stops? I’m not complaining. I’m actually overjoyed but worried that it’s too good to be true.

Do you plan to taper off once reaching your goal, or are you a lifer? I think this medication is something I will need for the rest of my life. I know all the “rules” to healthy eating but that’s never helped me successfully keep weight off. I think the biggest impact is the effect the medicine has had on my PCOS symptoms, like chronic inflammation. I saw my face de-puff the week I started. I don’t want to go back to feeling awful all the time even if I reach my goal way and find a way to maintain it.
