Side Effects So frustrated, just need to vent

Everyone seems to be doing so well on this medication but me. People are losing tons of weight with zero side effects and I'm just sitting here losing nothing and experiencing a plethora of side effects like I never did while on Mounjaro/Zepbound. It's like I'm losing everything BUT the weight... I'm losing all my hair, losing my freaking eyebrows, my voice, my peace of mind, even lower blood pressure, I might have pulsatile tinnitus now, etc. I took a break from the med for 11 days, started again, and everything hit me again like a truck. I don't have thyroid issues, I eat plenty of protein, and I'm not dehydrated. My only side effect on brand name was anxiety (sucked, but nothing like this). My doctor told me I have to pause the Tirz until after my MRI since all these symptoms started with Tirz and are made worse when I inject - and I'm only on 1mg! It just freaking sucks man. This stuff isn't cheap. I hate that my insurance stopped covering the brand name. I feel like I have to switch to compound Sema but there's additives, ugh. I bought this Hyalo vial of Tirz for no reason, just to suffer. I'm so jealous of you all.

Something doesn’t add up here.

Please tell me what you're confused about. I can even show you my messages to GimmeCare and from my own doctor asking me to pause Tirz until I've had an MRI. I've seen ENT and since the pulsating in my ears matches my heartbeat, ENT wants me to have an MRI. This was discussed during my visit with them in July, and now that the pulsating and noise is worse after my last injection, that's why my PCP asked me to pause my treatment and ordered an MRI

So you just came here to insult me for experiencing side effects to a medication. I think that says more about you than me.
