Side effects of Tirzepatide:

ā€œThere was a higher incidence of TEAEs in the tirzepatide treatment groups compared with placebo, mainly because of a higher incidence of GI AEs in the tirzepatide treatment groups. The most frequently reported TEAEs overall (Table 2) were diarrhoea (27.0%), nausea (27.0%), decreased appetite (16.2%), vomiting (14.4%) and headache (13.5%). The incidence of events was similar in each of the tirzepatide treatment groups with the exception of lower rates of nausea in the tirzepatide 12 mg group. The percentages of patients who reported nausea were: placebo, 7.7%; 12 mg group, 24.1%; 15 mg-1 group, 39.3%; and 15 mg-2 group, 35.7%. Graphs showing the prevalence and severity of nausea over time for each treatment group are provided in the supporting materialā€

Geez. Iā€™ll just stick with Metformin. Zero side effects for me. Iā€™m not sure I actually have diabetes. I think if I came off abilify my blood sugar levels would return to normal.

They shot up as soon as I started abilify. As far as Iā€™m concerned itā€™s abilify induced high blood sugar, and not ā€œnaturalā€ diabetes.

I lost the weight induced by medicine and didnā€™t lose diabetes. So my diabetes is med induced.
