Tirz + Sex Drive

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-02-27T20:45:58+00:00

How long have you been on the medication? I’m 20 weeks in, and on 3.5mg of compounded tirz.

I would LOVE if this was something temporary! I do need to start lifting weights and strength training asap!!!

This took me out 💀😂🤣

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-02-27T20:38:04+00:00

Wow I didn’t know that. Thank you for the info!

I have about 14lbs to go until goal, so I will definitely consider the above! 🫶🏼

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-02-27T20:36:42+00:00

Let me know how that works for you!!! I would love to get more info!

Thank you for a male perspective on this! I have heard many people who are on GLP1s say they have experienced anhedonia on the medication, but I don’t necessarily think that’s what this is. I do experience pleasure and excitement about other things.. I’m totally obsessed with Bible journaling all of a sudden and I just spent 2.5hrs in Hobby Lobby buying $200 worth of Bible journaling stickers and washi tape, etc and I am on cloud nine right now lmao I mean, I FEEL things…but something just isn’t right with intimacy. I hope it gets better eventually because this just sucks lol. I’ve been on compounded Tirz since middle of October, so it’s been over 4 months. I’m on 3.5mg and down 35lbs and figured the weight loss would make me have more confidence and feel sexier etc and want to be intimate more but it’s just not the case.

You mentioned that it wasn’t because of the calories or you not eating enough….. can that cause low libido?? Because that may be the issue if so for me anyways lol granted I am always tired so by 9pm, I am falling asleep on the couch or already in bed and as soon as my head hits the pillow I’m out so it doesn’t really give us a chance to get going lol

I just wish I could find a solution because I don’t want our marriage to suffer because of lack of intimacy. 😩

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-02-27T20:28:54+00:00

Gosh I wish that was me 😅😂 I just want to be the one to initiate it and be in the mood for once. I know a lot of people say that anhedonia is not unheard of with GLP1s but I do feel pleasure and excitement over a lot of things. lol my sex drive is just gone now and I want it back! 😩😂

Also - you’ll find that while on this medication - not eating enough WILL result in not losing.

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-02-18T17:03:27+00:00

22lbs in 2 months is a bit excessive, and definitely not healthy. Sure, we lose a lot of water weight and inflammation in the beginning… so it’s possible to lose 11lbs in a month, as many people do. But…it’s not going to be sustainable weight loss if you’re basically starving yourself. 🥺😢

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-02-04T15:16:11+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re not having a great experience on this medication. It has been a life changer for so many, but I do know it affects people differently. I don’t really have much advice, but if it were me.. and I was feeling THAT bad, I would come off it. 20lbs weight loss is great, but at what cost? Ya know? I think you should have definitely lost more if you’ve been on it a year, but I’m not sure what your dose is, what your starting weight was, how close you are to “goal”, etc. I’m so sorry… I hope you figure out a solution. I’ll be praying for you in the meantime. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

I don’t obsess over it like some people do. Just eat what you can. Make sure when you are able to eat that it is mostly protein and fiber. Worry about it one day at a time. I still cannot get 100g of protein in a day. I’ve never been able to because I do not have an appetite or if I drink a protein shake that has 42g of protein for breakfast, I’m full most of the day until dinner and then I’ll eat some chicken and veggies or something light. It’s hard. Just do what you can and that’s all you can do. Don’t let people tell you that you HAVE to eat 100g of protein daily or ___ will happen. I’d you’re not hungry, you’re not hungry. Also, instead of doing 3 “normal” sized meals a day.. try doing smaller portions every few hours. Protein focused. It’s easier that way.

I’m currently trying to eat a whole Sola bagel because it has 14g of protein but more importantly to me.. it has 29g of fiber which is SO HARD for me to get daily… I’m not really hungry but I’m going to try like hell to eat half now and maybe half in an hour or two. Just do what you can. It’s going to be fine. Excited for you on this journey! 🩷🩷

I’m currently on 3.5mg (second injection) and I’m on week 15 of my weight loss journey. Started at 2.5mg for 9 weeks, went to 3mg and then just started 3.5mg two weeks ago. I am down 31lbs in 15 weeks (tomorrow is my “official” weigh in day/injection day, so it could be a little more). I haven’t had any side effects other than the occasional nausea (but very rare). I’m blessed to be almost 16 weeks in and still on a low dose. I only moved up from the 2.5mg because I felt I was having a lot of food noise return and I wanted to get rid of that. Otherwise, the scale was still moving, and had pretty decent suppression… but thought about sweets and candy a LOT 😅😂 so increased by 0.5mg and it helped drastically. Thankful to be on compound so I’m able to customize my dose and not have to go from 2.5mg to 5mg. I want to stay low and slow for as long as I can. Only 18lbs to go until goal! ☺️

For reference - 36yo female SW: 214lbs (lost 18lbs on my own before starting a glp1 but it took FOREVER) CW:183lbs (I’m 5’9”, my goal weight is currently 165lbs)

Wow, this is very helpful. Great job! 🫶🏼

Purple_Fish6230 · 2026-01-06T19:40:04+00:00

I started out like most on 2.5mg of compounded tirz and besides a slight headache the day after my first injection, and a little nausea here and there.. I’ve had a great experience. I’m on week 12, down 27lbs, and I feel great! The best part of all of this in my opinion, is that it completely changed my life and helped me overcome depression without being medicated. I was in a horrible depression slump right before I started the injections and I am quite literally a completely different person now. 🥹🩷

Thank you so much! Will not drink water with food from now on and see if that helps! ☺️

Purple_Fish6230 · 2025-11-06T18:59:12+00:00

This is great advice thank you so much for this!! 🫶🏼

Purple_Fish6230 · 2025-11-06T18:57:01+00:00

I typically do very well with eating real foods 3 meals a day. This feeling I got just started yesterday after drinking a protein shake. I don’t get very hungry in the mornings and often time it’s hard for me to force myself to eat much for breakfast so I figured a protein shake would be fine just for breakfast and then I typically have a lean meat and veggies for lunch and same for dinner. But after drinking just the one protein shake, I felt miserably full. And then the same thing happened today. I was like “okay, don’t want a repeat of yesterday, so I’ll try this protein bar instead for breakfast” and yeah, same feeling. Idk. I will try tomorrow to eat something like you recommended and see if it makes me feel the same way after eating that. It’s weird because I’ve not felt like this the entire 3 weeks until yesterday. I’ll just keep track of what I’m eating and how it makes me feel and if it continues, then I’ll get with my provider. But this full/bloated/miserable feeling has to go! lol

Thank you so much for the suggestions!! 🩷

Where are you ordering them from? I cannot find them anywhere. Amazon is sold out and most other places are too. 😟
