A long convoluted story cut short for space. A change in insurance requirements moved me from Mounjaro to Ozempic. I had been on Mounjaro for 2 years and had lost over 200 lbs. I have Bipolar 1 Disorder, on 5 psych meds for many years helping to keep me stable. Within 24 hours after 1st Ozempic injection, I had an ideation that sent me fleeing to the ER and my psychiatrist. Through fighting my insurance, I won the Mounjaro back for life. During the appeals, I used compounded tirzepatide and mental stability resumed.
Anecdotally, I see many more psych issues with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy... both mono GLP-1s) than I do with tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepound - both dual GLP-1/GIP).
I look forward to seeing more research between the two types of medications.

Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing! I feel like there needs to be a lot more research about the mental health effects- there are just so many conflicting studies.
I will keep researching!
You and I together! Nice to "meet" you.
