I've been on tirzepatide for maybe three months at this point. I highly recommend it. I think the risks are massively overblown. It's predictable fear-mongering that is simply an understandable reaction to how greedy the pharma companies are with their pricing on it. If you can't afford it, it's tempting to convince yourself it would be a bad thing to take it anyway.

I can't afford it, but instead of spreading FUD about it, I found a third way. I just pirate the shit out of it! I'm not just taking tirz, I'm taking bootleg tirz! So far I've dropped from about 180 to 150.
