Drug-induced PN due to tirzepatide

@projfan thank you for this. I had to stop tirzepatide for a procedure and noticed the PN and foot cramps disappeared. When I started back up a month later, they started again. I switched to a different compounded version without glycine but still had the PN. I am now going to try semiglutide as I really don’t want to gain the weight back. I am hopeful I’ll have the same response as you did.

@justonesearching I would call that reliable evidence of a connection. There are several other drugs in the family as well, if semaglutide doesn't do it for you. Alternatively, you could consider bariatric surgery, but unfortunately, you might need to put the weight back on for insurance to approve it.
