ok this is kind of specific to me but i'm also just interested in hearing general thoughts bc i know glps are kind of a contentious topic in this community. i've been using one for a few months and it's been IMMENSELY helpful in managing bulimia symptoms. but also admittedly i'm using it as a weight loss tool. i don't plan on staying on long term bc i'm afraid of long term effects, but just wondering if people think it's possible to stay on a glp while/after recovery? (not counting binge eating disorders)

this might be a stupid question, but i've been on tirz for ~3 months and recently decided i want to start maintaining sooner than later (i'm only like 10lbs away from goal but lowkey just sick of it + having some negative side effects). but the problem is i spent hundreds of $ on this product so i guess i'm just wondering if it's possible to stick it in the fridge for later, if i decide i want to lose more or if i'm having trouble with overeating again? and if so, how long does it stay useable, is there like an expiration date?

ps. i know some people stay on glp even after reaching goal, but i'm gonna try to taper off bc i don't wanna be dependent on it long term. i know how to cal count for maintenance, etc.

so i've been on tirzepatide for around 3 months now, 1 month at 5mg and 2 months at 7.5mg. at first it was CRAZY effective, like the effects everyone would rave about online where i couldn't eat more than 2 bites. the effects gradually wore off to where they were no longer having a huge impact, i was eating pretty normally but it did help prevent overeating/binging. however, now that i'm a week into month 3, i feel some of the overeating habits coming back, and the effect of the meds are noticeably less effective, even though i just took my dose and just finished my period (which is usually when i'm least hungry).

i just wanted to ask - is this normal? should i be worried? i really didn't want to go over 7.5mg firstly because of price, secondly because i'm concerned about long term effects. is it worth increasing the dose? i will say i'm only around 10lbs away from my goal weight, so i feel like it might not be worth increasing anymore. help please!!!
