These weight loss medications are not to be removed "cold turkey" as they will cause terrible withdrawal effects and potential health consequences. With Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections, we never plan to remove these medications from your life abruptly once you hit your goal weight. We take in account lifestyle and the adjustments that you have made and will prescribe a taper regimen best for you to prevent regain weight gain. In the past studies that others have mentioned, people were taking 2.4mg of Semaglutide and immediately went to 0mg - wow - I am sure the body acted like a rocket being suppressed then shooting way up once the medication was removed like that. I have sympathy for those patients regaining weight. Here at STL Medical Weight Loss we taper your medications up and we will taper your medications down. And for some, a small maintenance dose is safe lifelong. The fat that you lose is also the fat around your internal organs, which puts you at risk for heart disease and cancer. We care too much for you to be staying at high risk for other detrimental health comorbidities.
We are the start of your weight loss journey and throughout!
