| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | switching from semaglutide to tirzepatide is pretty common and most people don't have issues going back if needed. the dual mechanism in zepbound often breaks plateaus when wegovy stalls, especially around that 160 range. your body comp is probably changing with the lifting too so scale weight isn't telling the full story.

Hello good folks,
I'm a 40-year-old male. I embarked on a Semaglutide journey with Rybelsus in Nov 2025. My starting weight was 220 pounds. I was on insulin for T2 diabetes. My HBA1C was 8.9% even with high insulin doses. At one point, I was injecting 90 units of insulin a day. My cholesterol was high and triglycerides were above 300. I was put on statins.
