| "No", "zero", or "minimal" side effects | 1 | 3.3% | |
| Appetite, hunger, or food noise | 1 | 3.3% |
Reported doses
A milligram figure counts when it is written next to tesamorelin, tesa, or Egrifta. Figures next to another compound, a price, or a vial size are left out, as are amounts above 5 mg. Each distinct figure counts once per confession. Figures that appear in only one confession are omitted from the table.
This is not a dosing recommendation.
3 of 30 confessions (10%) name at least one such figure. 3 other figures appear in a single confession and are not listed.
No figure met the bar above.
Timelines
Week numbers and month numbers are counted separately. A month is not turned into four weeks. A confession that names two different weeks can appear in two week rows.
Weeks (3 confessions name a week)
| Range | Confessions | % | Share of corpus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–4 weeks | 1 | 3.3% | |
| 5–8 weeks | 2 | 6.7% | |

Outcomes written in the text
A weight figure counts only when it follows lost, down, or dropped. Kilograms stay in kilograms. A figure next to tirzepatide, semaglutide, retatrutide, or a brand name for those is left out. Start weight and end weight with no unit are left out. What users report is not a result to expect.

Questions
- What tesamorelin side effects do users report?
- A confession counts when its text matches the shared phrase list (for example nausea, constipation, heart rate, palpitations). A denial in the preceding words ("no nausea") does not count. The side-effect phrases users report most often are heart rate or palpitations and vomiting (tied): 2 of 30 confessions (6.7%). Silence is not recorded: people who never name an effect are in the denominator only.
- How many confessions are in this tesamorelin count?
- 30 published confessions are tagged tesamorelin. The site has no accounts, so this is a count of submissions, not a verified count of distinct people. Published dates run from 29 May 2026 through 15 October 2026.
- Are these tesamorelin doses a recommendation?
- This is not a dosing recommendation. 3 of 30 confessions write a figure next to tesamorelin, tesa, or Egrifta. Figures are kept when they sit near that name, and dropped when they sit near another compound, a price, or a vial size. One distinct figure counts once per confession. No figure was frequent enough to list.
- Do these percentages show what tesamorelin causes?
- A percentage is the share of published confessions that used a phrase. Figures on this page are phrase matches over anonymous published stories, not clinical incidence.
- Why are weeks and months separate?
- 3 confessions write an explicit week number, and 5 write an explicit month number. Months are not converted into weeks. A confession can land in more than one bucket when it names more than one number.
- How is weight loss counted?
- 1 confessions contain a pound figure written with lost, down, or dropped. 0 do the same in kilograms. Kilograms are not converted to pounds. A figure whose nearby subject is tirzepatide, semaglutide, retatrutide, or a brand name for those is left out. Start-and-end weights with no unit word are left out. The median is the middle value of the figures that remain. What users report here is not a result to expect.
Methodology
Cohort: confessions with status published and a Tesamorelin tag. Data through 15 October 2026. The page is cached and regenerated about once an hour from that query.
There is no structured field for side effect, use, dose, week, or outcome. Matches are case-insensitive phrases. A phrase that nobody used stays in the table at zero. “Tired”, “sleep”, “heart”, and “skin” alone are not scored; those words show up in stories that are not about a side effect.
Figures on this page are phrase matches over anonymous published stories, not clinical incidence.
This is not a dosing recommendation. Doses are not a protocol. Weight figures, where this page shows them, are not a result you should expect. Nothing on this page is a finding from a trial.
Editorial rules for what gets published are on the methodology page. Vendor names are not repeated here.
