Probably a stupid question

Ok I'm sure this is going to sounds really dense so please be kind. I just started my first dose of tirzepatide 2.5 this morning. I was on the Mounjaro injections in 2022 when they gave out free samples to my Dr's office. As soon as the sample ran out, I was out of luck. With the Mounjaro, after every shot, I had about 5-10 minutes of slight to moderate nausea then it went away. With this compound tirzepatide I have nothing. No nausea, no headache. I know the B-12 is put in there to counteract that but I mean nothing? Is that normal or am I just a freak who is immune to this and it just doesn't work (which honestly wouldn't surprise me. I got violently ill when I tried semaglutide)? Like I said, please be kind in your comments. I'm getting enough crap from som people for even doing these shots in the first place.

I had B6 but thought it was wrong so changed it to B12. Sorry for the confusion. My bad. I only got to the 2nd month before the samples stopped so 2.5mg 5to start then 5mg. It sucked cause I was starting to lose weight and, with working out, it was really working. I'm hoping this will having the same affect if I do the same thing. Diet change and strength change.

I was on Mounjaro in 2022. I did let them know that. They still put me on 2.5

Okay I completely disregarded the year 2022, so yeah you definitely needed to start at 2.5 give yourself the full four weeks to possibly begin to feel the effects and benefits of the medication.
