Summary
This study looks at what happens to your brain, hunger, mood, and daily life when you briefly stop taking tirzepatide (a medication for blood sugar and appetite) and then restart it. Researchers will track 40 adults aged 18-70 who are already on tirzepatide, using brain scans, questionnaires, and interviews at three points: while on the drug, after a 3-4 week pause, and after restarting for 6-8 weeks. The goal is to understand how the drug affects brain activity and behavior, not to test a new treatment.
