Similar general pattern to other GLP-1 medications. Nausea and appetite suppression are the most commonly reported early effects, often more noticeable around dose increases than at a stable dose. Some people report tirzepatide's appetite suppression feels stronger than what they experienced on semaglutide, though that's individual and not universal.

Genuinely felt the appetite drop faster on this than I expected, week one I was already forgetting to eat lunch. Nausea was there but manageable for me.
