Users report that during menstruation, tirzepatide's effects on food noise weaken, leading to increased eating and temporary weight stalls or gains of 3-5 pounds. This is followed by a 'whoosh' where weight drops suddenly after the cycle ends. Many experience similar patterns regardless of dose increases.
What this discussion establishesNothing here is advice.
I stayed on 7.5 mg of tirz for a full month before bumping it up five days prior to my period. Even after going up, the 7.5 dose seemed stronger than the 10. Is it possible my period is overpowering the appetite control? I've been eating way more this week compared to before. Same vial though.
Found a somewhat related post sharing advice from AI.
It might require several doses before noticing the higher amount working. No need to be hard on yourself. Most people seem to lose control during their cycle.
My daughter mentioned gaining five pounds around her period, which vanishes two days later. The bloating is definitely noticeable. Everything should settle back to normal.
A number of us experience a stall or even weight gain during that time of the month, followed by a sudden drop of about four pounds overnight once it's over.
During each cycle I tend to stall or put on three to five pounds. It usually drops off by the following week. Appetite signals also get stronger.
I notice a small weight increase and stronger hunger pangs while on my cycle as well.

Tracking your cycle alongside the scale readings makes a big difference. After you notice that same increase showing up every month it no longer feels like the tirz has stopped working.
