@tarakeeg - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That's rough that your tirzepatide (Zepbound) is having very little or no effects.
I moved your post here where another member was talking about a similar situation with tirzepatide (Zepbound):
- GLP1 and no weight loss https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/glp1-and-no-weight-loss/
Fellow members here such as @sandylakes @celia16 @samwho and others may also have some input on being what you called a slow responder.
I am not a medical professional, but personally, I, too, have dealt with this. I took tirzepatide (Zepbound) 2 years ago when I lost 53 pounds on semaglutide (Wegovy), but had terrible GI side effects. I got all the way up to the top dose of tirzepatide (Zepbound), and my insurance said I'd maxed my coverage. I had only lost 1 pound on it by then.
My husband did not lose any weight on tirzepatide (Zepbound) till he got to the highest dose.
What does your medical professional overseeing your care say about this lack of effect so far?
@lisalucier Thank you, I get the Zepbound from Ro.co, they are not very helpful. I am trying to find a doctor I can see in person, though not sure how to find one with experience with Zepbound.
