Bunnie Xo gives an update on how she’s feeling on tirzepatide, joking that she’ll “never be a sex symbol” because she’s only making headlines “wearing diapers and s—ing myself.”

On the Friday, October 25th episode of her podcastStupid blonde. Bunnie, 44, said on the fifth day of taking “Trizeppy” she woke up thinking “I’m going to have to go to the hospital. Like, I’m so sick,” she said

“At that time, I already had diarrhea for days. I was very dehydrated.”

“Luckily we have a nurse on tour with us,” said Bunnie, who is on the road with her husband, Jelly Roll, on his ongoing Beautifully Broken tour.

“She gave me two intravenous bags and some magnesium, and I felt like a new woman. This showed me that I was seriously dehydrated. After that I was fine,” she added.

Bunnie said she started taking tirzepatide — commonly known under the brand names Mounjaro or Zepbound — for about two weeks, but said on the first day, “I felt fine until about 11 o’clock at night. suddenly, [I] I felt like I was going to f—— projectile throw up.”

Previously approved for the treatment of diabetes, tirzepatide received FDA approval for weight loss when a clinical trial showed that high doses of tirzepatide helped patients lose an average of 22.5% of their body weight.

The drug is taken by injection in the thigh, abdomen or arm, and improves the breakdown of sugar and fat in the body and reduces appetite.

And while Bunnie said she was “feeling a bit skinny” after shedding 4kg, she was quick to point out that she’s not taking any diet pills.

“I’d like to have, you know, about 10 pounds. from me, but I take it for inflammation and to regulate hormones because I believe I have PCOS,” she said. PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a hormonal disorder, as the Mayo Clinic explains, where “many small sacs of fluid develop along the outer edge of the ovaries.”

According to the National Institutes of Health, “Tirzepatide helps reduce weight and insulin sensitivity, two major problems associated with PCOS.”

“I do it for hormone health,” Bunnie said, adding. “The first time I took it, I took, like … the smallest piece, and I’m so thankful I did because this s— sent me for a ride, man. I still feel it.”

She cautioned followers about taking medication, especially “if you’re super sensitive to things like me, and I don’t even want to take an aspirin… I don’t have anything in my system. I’m literally, like, just going through life here.”

“I take a hit and start feeling like I’m going to throw up a missile that night.”

But as Bunnie recounted, there was one positive side effect: “I got about eight hours of sleep on Trizeppy and it was so great.”

“It’s so good. So that’s one positive.”

However, she said, “I still don’t feel great.”

“The scale has fallen. I was 160. Now I’m 157.2, and I’m back to normal pooping in case anyone wants to know. My diaries are back.”

But she said she may have finished taking tirzepatide.

“Everyone tells me it gives them energy and makes them feel so good. I just feel like I have a chemical in my body and I don’t like it. So I think I’ll give it another try.”

“I’m going to … start really super, super slow, see how it goes. And if that doesn’t work, then I’m done,” she said. “I just can’t ride the Trizeppy train.”
