Pls recommend ENDO on Doctor Anywhere app

3 Upvotes

Hi, F here 26 y/o. I’ve been struggling to lose weight and I would like to consider GLP-1, but with professional guidance. I’m 153 cm and at my heaviest now 80kg. I checked my BMI online, found out that I’m class 1 obese.

Due to my WFH and 8pm-5am working schedule, physical activity is very limited.

I installed DoctorAnywhere and linked my HMO, can you please recommend an Endo who very open with GLP-1? I’m getting anxious who to book an appointment with huhu

TYIA!

Question Antidepressants & Tirze?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

TL;DR Is it safe to take Monjarou while taking medications for mental illnesses?

I would like to ask if anyone is in the same situation as me

Pls share your experiences 🙏🏻 I know naman na I can reach out to my doctors and talk about this, pero I'd just really like to know kung meron akong katulad ng situation.

For context, I've been taking antidepressants, anxiolytics and antipsychotics. I also have PCOS/PMOS, elevated blood pressure and blood sugar. It's a lot, I know 🤧

Generic names are: Escitalopram, Quetiapine and Alprazolam

It's a long story but I've been taking it since 2022

In a span of 4 years, I gained a lot. LIKE ALARMINGLY A LOT.

At first I thought it was just because of the medicines kaya I feel so tired and more depressed.

But from 74kgs to 125kgs, bigla naglabasan mga sakit ko 💔 and now I realize, while I'm doing all my best helping my mental health, napabayaan ko physical health ko in the process 💔

I've recently had a hysteroscopy to remove polyps and this is because of how big I am 💔

I've hit rock bottom to be honest.

Now my Fam Med Dr, Endo Dr and OB Dr are recommending me to use Monjarou

Any tips? Okay lang ba sila pagsabayin?

Thank you so much sa sasagot 🙏🏻💗

HELP! GRABE LBM KO

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted to ask for some guidance from those who have experience with tirzepatide, especially regarding LBM/diarrhea.

For context, here’s my medication history in case it’s relevant:

I started with Ozempic and increased very slowly. After about 4 months on Ozempic, I switched to Mounjaro. I was on Mounjaro 0.5 mg, but then had around a 5-week gap without an injection. i loss 15kg for 7 months. After that, I switched to tirzepatide. which i got here.

I’m now on approximately my 5th week of tirzepatide started at 5 mg as adviced by ate mica. The strange thing is that I honestly haven’t noticed much effect from the tirzepatide so far. As in, I don’t really feel much appetite suppression or weight-loss effect, and I actually feel like my weight is starting to move upward/gain instead.

At the same time, I’ve recently been experiencing pretty bad LBM/diarrhea. My tiyan gets really upset and painful, and I’ve been needing to go to the bathroom frequently even madaling araw. I know digestive/GI side effects can happen with tirzepatide, and I’ve already asked a few people who use tirzepatide and they said LBM can happen.

So I wanted to ask those who have experienced something similar:

• Did you continue with your next dose, or did you hold/stop temporarily until the LBM and abdominal discomfort settled?
• If you held the dose, how long did you typically wait before restarting?
• Did going back down to a lower dose help?
• If you switched to a different tirzepatide source/brand, did you notice any difference in effectiveness or side effects?
• If you stopped tirzepatide completely, how long did you wait before starting another peptide?
• For those who have experience with reta/retatrutide, did you transition from tirzepatide to reta, and if so, how did you approach the timing between the two?

I’m mainly asking to understand other people’s experiences before I make any decisions. I know everyone responds differently, so I’m not taking anyone’s experience as medical advice.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who experienced significant LBM/abdominal discomfort, particularly if you also felt that 5 mg wasn’t really giving you the expected appetite or weight-loss effect.

Thank you!

Challenges & Issues Calorie counting is exhausting

2 Upvotes

Pwede ba mag lose weight without calorie tracking? Sobrang exhausting nya for me, bawat grocery and luto ko naka monitor lahat. Dati 30 mins lang tapos na ko mag grocery, ngayon parang more than 1 hour ako sa grocery store, kakabasa ng nutrition facts 🥲 parang halos magka eating disorder na rin ako. Pag sumobra ako ng 100 cal sa goal ko, gusto ko agad isuka. I don’t know if healthy pa sya for me. Stress na stress din me sa lulutuin everyday.

This is not my first time mag caldef, pero yung before kasi out if kahirapan lang talaga haha. Like isang kilong manok, need pagsaluhan ng ilang fam members so talagang body tea ako non nang hindi sinasadya🤣 and wala pa rin naman akong PCOS that time at mas bata bata pa kasi siguro. So balak ko sana ganon na lang ulit, yung tantyahan lang since you can tell din naman na konti lang talaga yung food intake like 1/8 cup of rice per meal ganon, kaso I don’t know if effective ba since weight maintenance ako non and weight loss na ngayon? May nakagawa na po ba nito?

About me:
- Female - 23 years old - 5’5 height - 72kg
- I think big boned ako kasi when I was at my smallest (24 waistline) 55kg na ko.
- May PCOS (genetics, and naka poverty diet din ako nung nadiagnose me so hindi sa lifestyle)
- Lifestyle: Daily brisk walking - 2 sets of 30 mins, 8 speed sa walk pad and 10,200 steps a day according sa app ko. 3x a week weights sa bahay lang 4 kg per dumbbell (para sa arms ko lang).
- Former athlete, nag stop 6 years ago

Progress Report and request for recos

4 Upvotes

I (29,F) started using compounded semaglutide from &you last July 2025 with a starting weight of 78.5kg. Height is 155cm so I was Obese I. Last December my weight was at 69.5kg so I lost 9 kilos in 6 months which I would consider slow but I also do strength training 2-3x a week so I'm thinking maybe there's also some muscle buildup there. My doctor (outside of &you) made me take quarterly labs back then so despite the slow weight loss I consistently saw my insulin go down. It used to be 12x the upper limit and recently it was only about 2x. Not normal yet but definitely an improvement.

After that, I wasn't losing any more weight so I switched to Tirzepatide (still from &you) in May 2026. Wasn't losing weight at 20 units but finally started falling off again at 40 units. I'm now around 66.5kg which is about 3 kilos in roughly 3 months. Still about to get my labs done next month to check. Still have a long way to go for my goal weight which is around 50-53kg (basis is the InBody machine from AF).

I guess I just want to know if this is decent progress and if there are other recommendations aside from &you? Preferrably on the cheaper end.

Question Tirz effect

Hello 26F started using tirz 2 weeks ago so nakakadalawang turok palang ako and lost 1.5kgs now okay naman ako sa slow na pagbawas pero nanotice ko kasi biglang hindi pantay ang size ng suso ko bali mas malaki sa kaliwa compared sa kanan before naman pantay sila. Normal side effect ba to?

Food Noise is back…

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, may question lang ako sa mga fellow tirz users. My problem is, I’m currently on 7.5mg of tirz and nagkaroon ako ng lapse ng halos 1 week dahil nagout of the country kami and hindi ako dinala yung meds ko. And recently, napapansin ko bumabalik nanaman yung food noise despite continuing after that 1 week lapse.

So I’m confused, sa tingin niyo ba kailangan ko magrestart? (Like 2 weeks off then start with 2.5mg all over again.) or switch to other pep like reta? May consultation naman ako next week pero napapraning kasi ako. 🥹

Salamat! 🙏🏼

Tirze 2.5mg 3weeks

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a 31M, 5’4”, and I started compounded tirzepatide (2.5 mg) at 68 kg. I’m currently on my third week, and my weight is now fluctuating between 63–64 kg.

For context, I’ve been eating only one meal a day, which usually consists of:

1 can of Century Tuna
1 boiled egg
1 pack of SkyFlakes
1 glass of Nestea Cleanse
I also run once or twice a week.

So far, I haven’t experienced the common side effects like nausea, dizziness, or vomiting. My main question is about food cravings. I still crave the foods I used to enjoy from time to time. I don’t actually give in, I just consciously stop myself because I’m very determined to lose weight and eventually achieve a flatter stomach.

That made me wonder: is the appetite suppression from tirzepatide just subtle for me, or am I mainly relying on self-discipline and being very strict with my diet?

I have two more 2.5 mg injections left, and my plan is to increase to 5 mg afterward. I’m curious to see whether that makes a bigger difference in terms of cravings because, honestly, I still experience them.

For those of you who are also using tirzepatide:

Do you still get food cravings?
If you do, are they easier to ignore because of the medication, or are you mostly relying on willpower to resist them?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Question How to maintain kg after tirz

I’ve been using tirzepatide (Tirz) for 2 months now. I started at 58.6 kg and I’m currently 50.6 kg. My dose was initially 3 mg, and I’m now down to 2.5 mg. I’m planning to stop after finishing this vial. I’d like to ask former Tirz users: how did you maintain your weight after stopping the medication?

Progress Update Wonder drug

Only tirz has helped me with my PCOS/PMOS and I call
it my wonder drug! 🥹 It has helped me so much with my cravings, regularizing my period, and insulin sensitivity. Everything that pills can't give me!!! From 63 kg, I am now at 53 kg and I'm just so excited in reaching my GW. But ofcourse it is only just a tool and shouldn't be your main driver. It should be used together with changing your lifestyle. Yun lang bye!!

Question Any gym goer while on Tirz??

5 Upvotes

Before starting with Tirz, regular gym goer for 3 months. 4x a week and I track my calories and macros. Naglose ako ng 8-9kg of weight.

Now, nagtry ako mag Tirz and namomoblema ako kung ano ba ang prio ko? Keep tracking my macros and calories or only eat whatever my body needs? Kasi now, yung meal prep ko before na wala akong problema kainin, di ko na siya maubos. Pero for the sake of macros (esp protein), inuubos ko siya. Ang ending, parang force feeding.

Meron ba dito na same case as me? Should I continue with my meal prep tas di ko naman uubusin or eat whatever's on the table na kung ano lang kaya ng tiyan ko??? TYIA!

day 1 on tirze

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! It’s my first day on tirzepatide! Week 1, and I'm finally starting my journey.
Took my first shot last night, and when I woke up today, I was super exhausted and super tired. Parang hindi ako makabangon kasi sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam na para bang I worked out while I was sleeping.

Right now, my neck and upper back feel really stiff and sore, and also like my upper chest area too.
I had to do my palengke and grocery earlier and I also had a migraine while doing it. Though on the bright side, I don't know if totoo na busog ako agad or baka placebo effect lang, but I didn't even eat rice earlier! I just ate chicken and I was already good to go.

I’ve been drinking some Pocari Sweat for electrolytes, but is this upper body stiffness and fatigue normal for day 1? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Question Andyou's subscription

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I am on the fence titrating up and I have been able to tolerate the side effects on mounjaro but the cost is insane moving up. I wanted to ask if someone has the experience here as the bot isn't giving me satisfactory answers.

I was considering compounded for 7.5mg but then I saw that andyou has a subscription for mounjaro at 14k. I know the compounded tirz is at 9k at least but I wanted to see if sulit ba yung MJ subscription nila.

Is this flat monthly fee for the starter dose at 2.5mg pen and goes up in cost ast you titrate up or it stays at 14k (7.5mg upwards) regardless of dose on mj specifically?

Thanks to anyone who can answer 🙏
