🎉 MILESTONE: Comparative pharmacokinetics semaglutide vs tirzepatide vs!
I can not believe I am typing this. When I started this journey I had zero hope.
Numbers: BMI went from 42 to 25.
Thank you to this community for keeping me sane through the hard parts. You know who you are. 🙏
Dr.AddMedPHL's experience with Comparative resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 42 lbs in 7 months.
One thing I would add that Dr.AddMedPHL did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.
Thanks for sharing this, Dr.AddMedPHL. A few questions about your Comparative experience:
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Comparative.
To answer NurseKim_ATL: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.
Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
Relevant to Comparative pharmacokinetics — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 215 → 115 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 7 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
