I am in several groups where folks that haven’t been able to tolerate semaglutide have switched and had good results. Nausea and vomiting don’t seem to be a problem with tirzepatide. I have had no nausea or vomiting..Good luck.

I'm sorry you turned out to be a non-responder to semaglutide -- some people just are, unfortunately. Zepbound is a combination of another GLP-1 RA and a GIP, and some people do respond better to one drug than the other. The nausea and vomiting are common side effects, and I can definitely see them as more likely for someone who goes up sharply in dosage rather than gradually.
If you are still interested in serious weight loss, you might want to consider bariatric surgery. Nothing is the perfect answer for everyone, so this might be a better option for you than the drugs. It also has the advantage of being one-and-done.
