Yall I’m literally over here like “why are so many people laughing at my video talking about my struggles”… and just remembered I literally asked for your most used emoji 😂. Told yall it’s been a doozy of a couple of weeks!
🤣 too funny
Lol
Hi I posted this a few weeks ago to another channel and feel it’s something that needs to be shared. Thank you for this video and your honesty. This journey has been a roll coaster for me. I’ve now stopped losing any weight and at this time I am unable to increase my dosage back up. Please continue reading for a better explanation as to why.
I have been on just about all of the injections before finally tolerating Mounjaro. I started this journey in about October 2022 and Mounjaro I believe in June 2023. I’ve lost 87 unnoticeable lbs since 2022. I have had all the normal side effects. Moving forward to January 2024 I increased my dose to 10 mg and started feeling the blues. Now 3 weeks ago I have increased to 12.5 mg and everything changed. I have been so sick on this dosage but I started feeling impulse suicidal ideation and even started coming up with my impulsive suicide plans. Now I will be honest and say I do have a history of mental health illness but it took me a terrifying week and a half to stop and realize no this IS NOT that!! I know this is absolutely related to the dose increase. I mean I would be driving and then suddenly planning to ram my car into a tree or something. They were sudden and very real thoughts of dying. I even tried to plan to surrender my doggies so I could use my car exhaust but not harm my dogs inside. Completely out of nowhere and irrational and beyond scary. So what did I do? I made a doctors appointment and crawled in bed for 5 days and would not allow myself to leave my room or my house until my appointment. I finally saw my doctor and explained these intrusive horrible and random thoughts I was having and that I 100% believe it is related to the medication. He said it’s definitely possible. He did look at my history with mental health and I insisted this is not part of my other issues past or present. I know my mental health well. I know what I’ve dealt with in the past and I know what triggers certain things and what my lowest feels like and this is not that at all!! I told him I wanted the medication but lower the dose and to also be treated for the depression side of it and I am going to be following up quite often with him. I am 42 years old. I have a sixteen year old that still lives with me and my 23 year-old but luckily they are staying with a family member and not having to see or know about any of this. I do plan on writing about this on the FDA website because I fear for those that may not recognize what they are feeling could be Mounjaro related and they take there own lives and or hurt or injure others in the process. I feel so much better with my doctor being aware and having a plan of action. I’m so glad he did not dismiss my thoughts on the cause. I am on Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes and plan to continue but with better self awareness and support. No amount of weight loss or medical reasons are worth risking your life so please be aware of this and ask for help and talk to someone even if you are unsure if it’s even related to the medication. The intensity of the thoughts that would hit me was beyond what words can fully express. Best of luck to everyone and remember to love yourself and your life is worth living. I know mine is ❤
💜 Appreciate you and all you share about your journey… the celebrations & the struggles!
Thank you Brittany for your honesty and sharing the good and bad, it helps alot people to hear your experience! 🥰
Omg THANK YOU for your honesty and for this video! It makes perfect sense now what I’ve been experiencing! Life changing for me.
☀️I love a hot sunny day. I am fearful of gaining weight back; but I will go down in dose after talking to my doctor tomorrow ! Thanks for the update!
❤ so glad you are feeling better! Take care of yourself
Thanks Brittany! Just found you. I have been on Wegovy 2.4mg titrated up from 1mg over a year and have lost 90 pounds. I have been on a plateau now for about 4 months and am considering switching to Zepbound. I have had fears about regaining the weight and notice that while appetite suppression is still present, I find myself eating more and craving carbs and sugar. Given the shortages, I probably won't start it until 2025. Keep up the good work.
😅
Thanks for always being so honest and vulnerable with us!
Please take care of yourself. Thanks for the heads up. Its easy to not pay attention when you don't crave food.
💋 I know several people who are struggling with energy while on glp-1s. I want to say before I comment that I am not a rep or salesperson for this product BUT I have been on it for 8 years! Thrive capsules! Vitamin A, D,B1,B2,B6,B12, folate, chromium, selenium and a host of other good things…..peeps I cannot preach enough about the energy and mental clarity! My teens take it as well as my husband! We sleep better and the focus this product provides is amazing! I don’t have a link as I don’t sell this product I just obtain it from the website but I HIGHLY recommend it! Try the capsules for a week and I promise you’ll love it! It’s two capsules first thing in the am and that is it. I am farm and ranch mom of four. We live 30 miles from town and I run my own business. This product has been my go-to for years and it’s healthy nutrition. No more dragging feet thru the day or mood swings. I want everyone struggling with sleep, energy and mood problems to get help! It’s is reaaaaaallllll! Seize the day ❤
Where do u order these? Thrive capsules?
@@aimeekreutzer-malkawiI signed up and buy them directly from Thrive.
❤thank you. I needed this today.
Hello Brittany great video ❤
Hey lady!! You just helped me reach my ah-ha moment. I know for a fact that I haven't been eating enough this week because it's been a stressful couple of weeks at work... I definitely need to get back to making sure I meal prep and eat my meals... And getting my water in SMH... Luckily, I don't fear going down in dosage but so far, as a diabetic, that part hasn't really been addressed yet with my doctor. I'm about 10 lbs away from my goal weight so that conversation will most likely happen at my next appointment. Thank you for always being honest and sharing the good and the ugly... Take care!
So glad I could help you out!!
😘 thank you for sharing your story. ❤
😊 I've been wondering about the addiction side of glp1 for a few reasons. First my partner's doctor refuses to write any GLP1 Rx because he said he's had death threats and violent people in his office demanding scripts like junkies. Then, when I had to go 2 weeks without my Zepbound before switching to compound, the always present heaviness in my stomach finally went away and I honestly felt like I'd lost my best friend. I realized the sensation of tirzepitide becomes a companion in a way and when it was gone, I would've lost my mind if I hadn't already signed up with Orderly and knew it was in the mail. It definitely creates a mental addiction and has me worried about my end game when it's time to go off the meds.
I don’t think we are meant to go off of them, but I do think we are meant to lower to an appropriate maintenance dose. Doctors need to be more mindful of this
@@BrittanyRoseHomemakingit’s sad that the doctors aren’t as mindful and kind about this. They don’t know how hard the struggle was before these injections but also using them , we are in a tight spot because without these we will go back
To uncontrolled eating or at least I will. Not speaking for everyone but I know many have this problem and that will be back
To old days of depression and being overweight not having at least this part of your life handled like it is now. It makes a lot of difference when you’re losing weight even if you uave tons of other life issues. At least we are still happy inside that we finally are healthier look and feel better. I can’t imagine going back because I could have been on this few years ago when I didn’t know what it was but my doctor tried to put me on it wasn’t that popular few years back I guess. Wish I took it earlier. Being overweight is a big trigger for me that starts my depression along with my other hard life. Wish the doctors were more sympathetic they do know about our struggles but too busy to care that much.
When my dr put me on it she told me to drink plenty of water and have a lot of protein of some kind because lack of protein can cause low muscle mass and make a person feel down and weak.
💕. I had a tough week too. No loss but no gain either thankfully.
So glad that you are feeling better 😂 sorry for the laughing bits it’s my most used emoji
Ugh sorry the UA-cam stuff is SO annoying. Yes, seriously same for me with mood and fatigue the past couple weeks. My husband was out of town and we had crazy amounts of stress and business stuff plus just taking care of everything solo and I the other day didn’t eat until almost 4 PM and I wasn’t even supplementing with my protein shakes like I was before I ran out and then didn’t order right away, I’ve been feeling terrible. Also I do think the weather didn’t help as others commented too just been cold and rainy lately. Today I put protein in my coffee and making sure I get at least two meals.
😊 Thank you for sharing the issues that can take place with these GLP-1 meds. I think we all need to hear this. Hang in there it sounds like you’ve got it figured out though.😊
Hello, it's B12 deficiency. It causes depression because you're not eating enough. Research it. I am not a healthcare provider, but I am familiar with the deficiency.
I was taking b12 for a while, maybe I need to start back up!
🤣
I am a new subscriber and looking forward to your videos. Great information.
Hi there! So this channel is my homemaking channel… it’s a long story as to why I was posting weight loss stuff here, but going forward all weight loss stuff will be on my weight loss channel which is Brittany Rose Vlogs. I’d love to have you over there! ❤️
My Doctor told me I was probably going to need to stay on Monjaro for life im diabetic and my blood glucose numbers are very good now I only had to lose 30lbs and im half way there i saw on The countess of shopping on her channel that her Dr. Has said the same im wondering has anyone else been told this. great video
I have not been told yet and I didn’t ask
My doctor but the im diabetic for years and it was out of control but much better now , I will ask
Him. I didn’t know countess of shopping has diabetes I thought she’s using for weight loss that’s why she has to pay a lot she was saying. I had no idea
Hi
Uk here.
Despite strictly dieting I don't lose weight on tirzepatide. Nobody seems to have this problem.
I diet hard, i have no side effects and am always hungry. I am on 5mgnow. On 2.5 mg I lost 4 lbs then zilch! Today I have eaten more because I feel like giving up. I just feel like I am just throwing money away.
Thank you for being so vulnerable & honest. It seems easy to fall into not eating, especially on shot day or the day after. I just took my second 5mg shot & hate to force myself to eat if I'm not hungry.....thoughts?
Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link to the reddit thread about Compounding?
Great video! I am very confused about phentermine, isn't that a controlled/banned substancein the US? How is it still being prescribed for weight loss?!
I think a lot of people struggle with these sorts of addictions. Whether it be, counting calories to the point that you don't let yourself have any enjoyment or cheat meals per say. If you've worked so hard at something and even with these drugs, it's hard work, you don't want to take the steps back and have to do it all over again. It's human nature not to want to take steps back and feel like you have to start all over again. That's so daunting, especially once you know what it takes.
Well you can’t be addicted to food and then find it strange not to become addicted to being thin. I noticed very early on a slight addicted attitude with some CC.
I agree, but I think it’s important that doctors recognize this and help by requiring maintenance dosing at some point.
@@BrittanyRoseHomemaking no i agree but it will be under reported. It will be looked at as the new normal. It will be looked at like aren’t we doing the right thing now? By being thin
🤷🏼♀️ I know for me the weather plays a big role in my mental health. We’ve had heavy overcast clouds here in NE PA for everyday in May so far, hopefully this week we have 2 sunny days coming! 🌞🌞🌞
I really hope so! Last week in NC it rained literally every day
I can’t stand how I feel either on Phentermine. The loss of sleep drives me crazy!!
Do you know if the lady changed her habits during taking these meds? If I hadn’t have change any of my habits I definitely could see myself getting obsessed and unable to get off of zepbound or lower dose. I have plans to get off it complelety after I reach my goal and then taper down from maintenance. BUT I’m open too….if I need a maintenance dose for life, then so be it.
Hi Brittany, I am SO happy you realized your body NEEDS proper fuel and water (so smart), and decided to share it with your UA-cam friends. Your honesty is not only refreshing, but admirable!! Cheering you on, as always; and hoping your other UA-cam channel is rectified soon. Luv U pretty lady. 💖🎀
Do you have the Reddit link for the spreadsheet you were talking about?
Thank you for sharing. My doctor started me on 5 not 2.5. I couldnt sleep last night but felt exhausted. Is starting on 5 mg ok?
Happy Sunday what is your favorite coffee
❤ bless u ❤
Hi Brittany
My younger brother seems angry while taking this drug. He isn't normally grumpy but he is always unhappy now. Easily irritated.
Check his blood sugar
Wait!?! What happened to your other channel? I just realized that the health videos are here as well.❤
It’s coming back. It’s a long story, but essentially the put a hold on my revenue and advised me not to post there until it was cleared up
What dosage
10:54 This isn’t that surprising, and I don’t know that it’s helpful for anyone to characterize it as ‘addiction’ (aka, don’t give the media any bad ideas 😯).
If you feel like you’ve been a ‘slave to your hunger’ all your life, and you then FINALLY come across something that keeps the food-noise at bay - again, for the first time in your LIFE - then OF COURSE you’re going to be a bit terrified of ever going off of it, or even going down in dose for maintenance.
And this of course feeds into the current huge meds shortages, and how they are even EXTRA stressful for the many folks out there in this boat, and/or who feel that they have disordered eating. 😢
It makes all the sense in the world, really. ☑️
But, is it ‘addiction’, or is it a pretty logical/understandable response to what these (MANY) folks have been going through all of their lives? 🤔
This is a great point- however even if it were to be considered a “good” addiction, it can still be an addiction. I think the worry is that people will be so terrified of gaining weight back that they go the opposite way and end up harming themselves by not providing their body essential nutrients.
I don’t think it’s necessarily helpful to ignore a potential problem either, you know?
@Brittany I’m not certain it’s an addiction at all, ‘good’ or otherwise.
Say you have hypertension, and you’re prescribed meds to treat it. You may have to take those meds for life.
Are you then ‘addicted’ to those meds? Or is that even a helpful way at all to frame it? Just sayin’. 🤷♂️
One can address the (serious) problem of lifelong disordered eating, without conflating it with addiction, and all the loaded implications that come with… which may just confuse and further ‘emotionalize’ what is already a pretty emotional issue.
I agree. Very insightful way to put it and realize that “addiction” probably wasn’t the best choice of words
No worries. And you weren’t really the main one framing your friend’s problem that way - as you said, someone was *telling* your friend she was ‘addicted.’
Which isn’t helpful, IMO, and is sort of a mis-diagnosis of the likely real issue(s)… an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, etc. etc. Plus lots of fear. 🙁
Which, if that’s the case, is plenty to deal with all on its own.
Btw, do dig your channel, and I think your takes are great 99 percent of the time. Keep on keepin’ on. 🌟
My doctor has stated to me that I would always be on Zepbound. Maybe just a low dose.🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely! I guess the concern is people not weening down out of fear of gaining weight.
😊Hi Brittany and community, a few things: 1. Yes. It’s important to drink your water and eat at meals. 2. I have heard of no medical evidence that GLP1 agonists are addictive. Let’s please not spread this unfounded FUD around. Can you be scared of losing the progress you made on your GLP1 agonists? Sure. But in no way is that an addiction. 3. I have found it helpful to take vitamins such as Vitamin D3, C, B12, Folate, B complex and Magnesium. With regard to Magnesium I take Magnesium L-Threonate and Magnesium Glycinate primarily. You are not eating the volume you used to eat nor much carbs and other things. So it can be possible to become vitamin deficient. Talk your doctors about this. But this is what I do. Also, get some exercise in, it revs up your metabolism and gives you a sense of accomplishment when you see that you can do more or walk farther than ever before. Plus it’s good to get out of the house and get some sunshine. Also share your progress with supportive friends. They give you encouragement. I have a game going with mine. Can I lose more pounds than the Chicago White Sox can lose games. The Sox stink this year, so it’s going to be a challenge. So far, the score is Sox 32 - Me 31.9. The Sox are playing the Yankees today. So I am going to have some catching up to do! I hope that all helps.
I just mean that it’s an interesting topic. In my opinion, anything can be addictive.
❤

I do not but I have a very good friend … that refuses to do her maintenance… and continues to stay on these high doses… she too has lost a lot of weight hardly ever eats 600-800 calories if that , I try to talk to her about it but she’s like really not listening she loves how she looks too too skinny… so I’m here for her but I’m seeing more and more of this sadly….
You think maybe UA-cam flagged your page from the video where you were showing how to split your injection was the reason.
Possibly, but there was never any correspondence regarding that. When you violate a rule, or have a video flagged you receive an email explaining what you did wrong and ways you can go about correcting it. I never got anything. I’ve gotten zero reasoning from UA-cam, they just keep saying they are investigating it.
