Anyone else feel like they’re “crashing” on tirzepatide even on a super low dose?
I’m only on 0.5mg tirzepatide (very low dose) for PCOS/hormone issues and keep getting these random “crashing” episodes. I started my first dose last week and just did my second week of shots last night.
I will suddenly feel:
- faint/weak
- shaky
- sweaty
- physically heavy
- like my body is running out of fuel
It goes from 0 to 100 super fast. Weirdly, drinking Coke or having sugar sometimes makes me feel normal again within like 15–20 mins. Assuming it’s a sugar crash?
I’m 5’4”, 135 lbs, eating ~100g protein daily, using LMNT electrolytes, and staying hydrated, so I didn’t expect this on such a small dose.
Has anyone else experienced this early on, especially if taking tirzepatide for PCOS/insulin resistance? Did it get better?
