Tirzepatide worked great in Week 1, but cravings came back in Week 2-3. Is this normal?
I’m currently in my first few weeks on tirzepatide and trying to figure out if this experience is typical.
The first week felt incredible. Hunger was quieter, cravings were low, and eating felt much more controlled without constantly thinking about food.
But after that first week, things started feeling less noticeable. The cravings slowly crept back in and now it feels more subtle overall compared to the beginning.
Now I’m wondering:
- is that strong “Week 1 effect” common
- do things usually stabilize again later on
- and is this just part of the adjustment period early on
I know starting doses are meant to ease you in, but mentally it’s hard not to compare everything to how dramatic that first week felt.
Would really appreciate hearing how this went for others.
