Really hoping someone has been through the same and can give some insight.
I was on Semaglutide from mid December 2022 to February 2026. I lost about 25 pounds in the first year and then my weight loss pretty much stalled but that was OK because I was at a good place. I also lost so much inflammation and didn’t even realize how good I could feel just from not having as much inflammation, —and the food noise was completely gone which for me is the key to everything.
About two years in I noticed that the inflammation started to creep back and now I definitely have it all back. And in February the food noise started to come back after 3 1/2 years and so I knew it was time to make a switch. In the past 2 months, I’ve gained 6 pounds.
My doctor put me on Zepbound and suggested starting at the 5 mg dose since I had been on Semaglutide for so long. But I was nervous about side effects because my lifestyle is super busy so I had her start me out at the 2.5.
I literally have felt nothing this past five weeks. I still have the food noise. I still am hungry, definitely not down any inflammation either.
Should I have started at the five? Those of you who have been on a semiglutide before a tirzepatide, what dose of tirzepatide did you start at??
Any info would be appreciated ☺️
