am I the only one who found GIP harder than the injections

Trial Data Slow Clap ×3 Receipts ×2 Clean Column ×1

Week 79 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 24.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

nope, the equivalence to semaglutide is not known, comparing 15mg tirz to 2.4mg sema is guessing

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 70 weeks to accept.

week 27 on Mounjaro and the appetite profile is genuinely different from sema

u/kaia_wojcikOP581 points·1 year ago

Switched from sema at 10mg to tirz at 12.5mg. Different drugs, cannot compare the doses directly.

Adding to this: dual agonist is doing more work than the comment implies.

The SURMOUNT readouts are real but less consistent than STEP. Some people plateau earlier on tirz.

How long at each step before you escalated?

Week 75 on Mounjaro and 24kg down. The appetite reduction feels different from sema in ways I do not have words for yet.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

This matches the trial data. SURMOUNT-1 was 98.6% body weight at 6 weeks.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

My A1c moved faster on tirz than on sema at the same timepoint, which matches what people report.

Hard agree. The food noise disappears differently on the two compounds.

u/incretin_ivypharmacology439 points·1 year ago

the GIP side does different things than the GLP-1 side, that is the point

u/halima_boateng-23 points·1 year ago

Is that on Mounjaro pens or research tirzepatide?

About c/tirzepatide

Tirzepatide-specific discussion: the dual-agonist pharmacology, the 2.5 → 15mg ladder, the appetite profile people describe as different from semaglutide, and the SURMOUNT/SURPASS trial programme. Comparisons with semaglutide are welcome as long as they are specific about dose equivalence being unknown.

c/tirzepatide rules
  1. "Tirz is better than sema" needs a comparator dose or it is a vibe, not a claim.
  2. Vial-splitting and self-compounding discussion stays in c/reconstitution.
  3. No pen-cracking tutorials. Discussing that people do it is fine; instructions are not.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
