Hey everyone,
I recently increased my zepbound from 2mg to 5mg. The past couple of days I’ve had some diarrhea, which I figured was probably just part of my body adjusting.
This morning I noticed a slight pain in the lower right side of my abdomen. It’s not constant — it just comes and goes — and it isn’t super severe, but enough to | COMMUNITY | — | 2025-09-17 |

I’ve tried both semaglutide (Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) and even though a lot of people say tirzepatide is “better,” I actually felt less hungry and had fewer sugar cravings on semaglutide.
On sema I was only on 0.25 mg, and now on tirzepatide I’m at 2.5 mg, but the hunger suppression just doesn’t feel the same.
