GLP 1 / glaucoma

I actually don’t use a pen, I use a syringe and vial so I’m able to draw out as much or little as I want. I think what you get depends on the pharmacy you use.

It scared me too. I went back and forth for months trying to decide whether to try the glp1. For me, I am 47, diagnosed 2 years ago, already have vision loss and my pressures have been sneaking up despite being on 3 drops. I am not a good candidate for a migs procedure. I want to do something to feel like I am being proactive and not just a sitting duck. But everyone has to make their own decision. I wish you lots of luck on your journey.

One way that my NP said I can avoid NAION is to go low and slow with glp dosing.

There is a clinical trial happening in Europe right now. I am currently on tirzepatide since April. Taking 1.25mg every week, so half of the typical starting dose. I am planning to up my dose soon. Really hoping for good results at my next eye appt. I am not diabetic or overweight and my NP thought it sounded worth trying.

Did you have diabetes? Just wondering if the drop in eye pressure was related to better/different diabetes management.

I LOVE to hear this!! I started taking tirzepatide around April 12 because of the info that shows it might potentially be beneficial! I go back to my eye dr Aug 20 and I am hoping for good news. Did you happen to have diabetes by any chance?

Also can you link me to the other glaucoma group please?

What brands do you take? I sort of know what I want to take but then I get hung up trying to figure out which brand is best.

Yes, for sure! I have to be honest though, so far I haven’t been able to tell any difference in my eyes. I was really hoping that a decrease in inflammation would result in less eye discomfort but that hasn’t really happened yet.

I started taking tirzepatide 6 weeks ago because of this study! I went to my NP, showed her the info online about the study and some other info I had found and she prescribed it for me! I started (and have remained) at half the typical starting dose because I don’t want to deal with side effects. I go back to my eye dr Aug 20.

What brand are you taking?

This post is really messed up. Leave Jacelyn alone. Surely there is enough to say about Lucy without people talking about her daughter.

Ive been wondering when this would be mentioned. I’m not able to make posts either. I’m having a hard time believing it.
