julia.endo said:Patient preference weekly injection is not that straightforward in my experience
This is exactly right. julia.endo articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Patient preference weekly aspect is what made the difference for me.
Reading this thread on Patient preference weekly hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 285 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 60 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Patient preference — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
Dr.ReproEndo — that is really helpful context on Patient preference weekly. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?
I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer InsuranceTom's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Patient preference weekly is a reasonable concern that deserves a thorough answer.
The short answer: the evidence supports this approach for most patients.
The longer answer involves reviewing the specific clinical trial data relevant to your question, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
Bookmarked 📌 The Patient preference info in this thread is essential. Coming back to this for sure.
