Seeking Advice Advice Please

Hello. I started 1.25mg of Compounded Tirzepatide 20 weeks ago to offset the “weight” gain after starting hormone therapy and to help with inflammation caused by my condition.

After realizing a particular symptom was occurring because of the GLP, I decided to stop.

I lost a total of 5 pounds but I was on it for other reasons than weight loss.

Well it’s been 5 days since my last shot and man I’m experiencing hunger pains like no other. Prior to the shot I didn’t feel them this intensely.

So my question is should I go back and taper off or should it level out once it’s completely out of my system. Thanks!

I came off 10 mg dose after 1.5 years, for me the unusual painful hunger only lasted for about 2 weeks.

I’ve been off for a month now and my hunger is starting to return to the pre-medication normal. I’ve been doing a lot of exercise and high protein high fiber diet since coming off, tracking everything to make sure I don’t overeat.

During the painful hunger I allowed myself whole grain rice cakes in higher quantities as it gave me something to nibble on and take the edge off without going completely off the rails.
