I’d like to see some data on meth against these two. Sure it has some bad side effects but so do these.
Key info:
*** The study was funded by Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of tirzepatide. Multiple authors reported financial relationships with Eli Lilly, including employment. The sponsor was involved in the trial design, data collection, site monitoring, data analysis, and manuscript preparation.***
I would expect that people can still get Ozempic face from the other drug, too, because I believe that is a result of rapid weight loss.
Well, with meth you lose weight and your teeth...............
I have friend who has been on both. Yes, she’s lost weight. 70 lbs, over a roughly, but not quite, a 1 year period. However, both medications made her nauseous, so yeah, she’s stopped eating. You’ll lose weight if you pretty much have no appetite because everything you eat makes you sick to your stomach. That’s what she’s dealing with.
There was a period when we were all congratulating her. That was about 35 pounds ago. Now she looks withdrawn in her face. She LOOKS sick now. It’s getting hard to watch. I hope she stops. She needs to put a few pounds back on. She is a very sweet and kind person. I don’t care what she looks like. I want her to feel good about herself, but at what cost?
Yes, my friend is on Mounjaro, and she has the same face. It’s awful.
I'm a 5'-10" 73 year old male. My IBW based on four models is shown below. I'm currently over 190, so 30 pounds to shed to reach the highest IBW. But, I do know if I actually hit 165, I'd be skin and bones and look terrible, same as you describe your friend.
How come we’ve stopped hearing about all the dangerous adverse effects? It seemed like for a while, you couldn’t go a week without hearing about someone who died or had irreversible intestinal problems, or had to be hospitalized.
Someone should do a documentary about how they choose the names for these modern drugs. I guess it’s probably heavily focused grouped, but I can’t help thinking someone in a far off third world village is saying “hey they named a drug after us.”

Well, the first volunteer patient died. So they named it after him, Mounjaro.
It Kill a Mounjaro. ............
My wife hated Ozempic (semaglutide) but was ok with tirzepetide (Mounjaro, Trulicity). So that’s an official clinical trial right there.
When she told us she’d lost 70 lbs, well, I was surprised, because she never looked like she was that overweight for her height. I’m guessing she’s 5’5” or 5’6”. She’s lost it all over but it shows most in her face. She looks very withdrawn. I’m not sure what it is, but she looks much older, not younger.
I hope your wife isn’t my friend. If she is, please tell her she’s taken off enough weight. It looks like it’s hurting her at this point.
Has anybody here had a similar experience?
That’s what false teeth are for. Plus you get to pick them out! You can get the white white (which looks unnatural) OR you can opt for the extended eye teeth for the vampire look (my personal preference). But yeah, they all have some drawbacks.
My wife went from 250 to 140 with Mounjaro. She had no side effects.
That’s great! No side effects to boot!
Unfortunately many people do. I wonder if it has anything to do with genetics?
Or possibly something in their environment, like a certain food they continue to eat that reacts negatively with the meds?............
I’ve been on Mounjaro for 2 months and lost 16 pounds. You can see it in my face and all over. You have to work out while on Mounjaro to keep looking good. I’m not sure I can stay on it as the side effects are not great, so I’m taking a break for a short time and see how things go. I definitely want to lose another 34 pounds.
Unfortunately, I’m not on it just to lose weight. I was on Metformin which I couldn’t take, so Mounjaro is my second option and if it doesn’t work out, I’m not sure what’s next. More diet and exercise for sure.
I dont know where they are getting those ridiculous numbers.
Mine claims that I should be lighter than when I wrestled in high school and about 30lbs lighter than what the military expected. Of the weights they give as correct one is not only 30lbs lighter than what I wrestled, no I wasnt the chubby kid that just showed up, but there was no one on the team, not even that skinny spaghetti kid, that was making those weights without going to extreme ends at that height.
