Can I just vent for a second about novo nordisk vs eli lilly the?

I know this forum is evidence-based and I love that about it, but sometimes you just need to let it out. I hit another plateau and I am frustrated.

Not looking for a fix necessarily — just solidarity. Anyone else going through this right now?

anders_CPH's experience with Novo Nordisk vs Eli Lilly resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I am on a different medication. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 59 lbs in 14 months.

One thing I would add that anders_CPH did not mention: my sleep quality improved dramatically.

Thanks for sharing this, anders_CPH. A few questions about your Novo Nordisk vs Eli experience:

  1. What dose are you currently on?
  2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
  3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Novo Nordisk vs?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Novo Nordisk vs Eli Lilly.

To answer paige_pharma: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
