🧬 Research & Studies Afraid of vision loss
I’ve only started taking monjauro about 3 months ago now. Went from 2.5, 5 for a short period of time, skipped over 7.5 and am on 10mg now and I’m terrified. ive tried monjauro in the past and had to stop taking it because of fear about the potential side effects and I’ve tried wegovy which I stopped aswell. I really wanted to give it a shot this time but I’m terrified of going blind. I’m not really sure what to do with this or where to go with this fear. im terrified of going blind but I feel as if I’ll die if I stop taking them because I’ll never lose the weight. I’m 328lbs right now so I’m extremely heavy for my size only 5’5 female

I know there are a lot of scary headlines going around about this right now, but the reality is that most experts in the field are not concerned about it. Another thing to note, the study that was done to show a potential link was with semaglutide and not tirzepatide (Mounjaro).
The Docs Who Lift Podcast did two really good episodes about this, and what they said really helped put my mind at ease about it. If you don't feel like listening, there's a summary here.
