    Most of them are no worse than the side effects of any other drug, the most common being nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which I was already dealing thanks to my other meds so it was actually no worse. I mean hell, aspirin carries a warning of potential death.

    I was speaking to my wife about this the other day. Her professional opinion as a nurse was that the side effect of stomach paralysis can occur. This isn't good and not worth it. Working out 2 to 3 times a week to lose weight and monitoring your eating habits is much safer.

    This stomach paralysis is so very rare. The benefits far outweigh the risks. I hit a plateau for 3 weeks but now starting to lose again, I've lost 28lbs in 13 weeks on compunded trizepatide. Slow and steady wins the race
