An Indian man hailed Mounjaro as a “miracle” for losing 10 kilos in three months, but revealed a concerning side effect: emotional blunting. He described feeling muted joy and sadness, impacting his personal and professional life. While the drug effectively suppresses appetite, he felt a crucial emotional switch had been turned off, a rarely discussed consequence beyond typical side effects. As weight-loss drugs are becoming increasingly popular, an Indian man shared how he lost more than just weight using Mounjaro. He called it a “miracle” drug; however, he also spoke about a dark side that is rarely discussed.
He lost 10 kilos in 3 months
In a YouTube video, the man revealed that when he hit 91.4 kilos in December 2025, he decided to take the weight-loss drug. During this time, his diet was unhealthy, workouts weren’t on the cards, and he also consumed alcohol in excess. Three months later, in February 2026, his weight came down to 82 kilos. He was taking Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and not following any crash diets.Mounjaro, also known by its generic name tirzepatide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. These drugs mimic hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, making users feel full faster and stay full longer.Along with taking the drug, the man also did some weight-training workouts three times a week and ate a relatively clean diet. The man confessed that his confidence improved, but what happened later was not what he expected.
He lost weight, but also something more crucial
While the man was enjoying his newfound confidence, he warned about a rather dark side that hardly gets mentioned. “I lost 10 kg on Mounjaro. Looksmaxxing with a cheat code. GLP-1s become generic tomorrow. Be warned, though. While I lost the weight, my emotions became flat. Been off it for 10 days now, and I feel EVERYTHING again,” he wrote in an X post.In the YouTube video, the man expressed that he has always been an emotional person. But after taking the drug, it almost felt like someone had turned off the knob on his emotions. He noticed a shift in his emotional state. Excitement felt muted, and even moments that would usually bring joy or sadness seemed flat. The man explained how it affected his personal and professional life. Achievements no longer brought him joy.While Eli Lilly and Company, which manufactures Mounjaro, warns users about the potential side effects of taking the drug, this man says, “There’s a side no one is really talking about.” “It didn’t just affect my weight. It started affecting how I felt—motivation, excitement, even emotional connection,” he added. He acknowledges that while the injection suppresses appetite effectively, it felt like a “switch had been turned off.” He also revealed that he no longer had the urge to consume alcohol.According to the makers, some of the possible side effects include tumors in the thyroid, including thyroid cancer; hypoglycemia (low blood sugar); serious allergic reactions; kidney problems; severe stomach issues; changes in vision; and gallbladder problems.But there is more—at least that’s what users have revealed. Some studies have hinted that patients experienced suicidal thoughts and other psychiatric adverse events while using GLP-1 agonists.Disclaimer: This article is based on individual experience and emerging trends around weight-loss medications like Mounjaro.
