A 53-year-old woman, Vicki McFarlane, says she stopped taking Mounjaro (tirzepatide) after experiencing side effects and then lost significant weight using what she describes as a low-cost daily supplement. In the reports, she attributes unpleasant symptoms to the injections, including nausea, headaches, and “eggy burps,” and says these effects were severe enough that she chose to stop.

After quitting, McFarlane claims she began taking a supplement costing about 30p per day and reports losing substantial weight over several months. One source says she lost 49 lb over 15 weeks, while the other says she lost about 3 stone over four months. The articles frame her account as a personal experience rather than providing independent verification of the product’s ingredients, dosing, or medical supervision.

The coverage centers on her claims about weight loss and side effects, with details limited to her statements and the reported cost of the supplement.
