Stephen Fry has become the latest big name star to warn of the dangers of the drug, The Mirror reported.
He attributes his obsession with food to his childhood in Norfolk, and the cook Mrs Riseborough employed by his parents Marianne and Alan who was a 'good English plain cook'.
After years of battling with his weight as a result, Fry said he was pleasantly surprised by the drug's effectiveness and found it stopped all of his cravings for food and alcohol.
He said: 'The first week or so, I was thinking, "This is astonishing. Not only do I not want to eat, I don't want any alcohol of any kind. This is going to be brilliant.
'Then I started feeling sick, and I started getting sicker and sicker and sicker. I was throwing up four, five times a day and I thought, "I can't do this". So that's it. The new variant, Tirzepatide Mounjaro, makes it even worse apparently.'
Fry, who is married to comedian Elliott Spencer, says he was at his heaviest in April 2019 when his weight came to nearly 21st.
But by August of that year, he had lost five and a half stone after taking the drug.

Part of the appeal to Kelly was that she found it less 'boring' than changing one's diet and increasing exercise to lose weight.
'There are a million ways to lose weight, why not do it through something that isn't as boring as working out?' she said.
The daughter of Ozzy Osbourne went further, accusing critics of the medication and similar drugs of being jealous or deceitful.
'People hate on it because they want to do it. And the people who hate on it the most are the people who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they can't afford it. Unfortunately, right now, it's something that is very expensive, but it eventually won't be because it actually works.'

Oprah previously revealed she weighed 107.5kg at her heaviest, however she did not say what her current weight was.
She revealed in an interview with People that she 'now [uses] it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing'.
'The fact that there's a medically-approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.'
She did not reveal which weight loss drug she used, although many speculated that she had got a prescription for Ozempic.
Oprah said she took the medication before Thanksgiving, and credited it with ensuring she only gained half a pound rather than eight.
Speaking in An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution, she fought back tears as she revealed how the drugs had meant she was no longer 'constantly thinking about what the next meal is going to be'.

The show was released days after Oprah quit her Weight Watchers board role, citing a potential 'conflict of interest' with the show, which heavily featured weight loss drug brands.
During the show, Oprah pushed back at people she said wanted to 'shame' her for her weight and for taking the drugs.
She said: 'I come to this conversation in the hope that we can start releasing the stigma and the shame and the judgment... to stop shaming other people for being overweight or how they chose to lose and not lose weight.'
She added: 'All these years, I thought all of the people who never had to diet were just using their willpower and they were for some reason stronger than me.
'But now I realize y'all weren't even thinking about the food. It's not that you had the willpower. You weren't even thinking about it. You weren't obsessing about it.'
Now, she said: 'I use it as a tool, combined with hiking three or five miles a day or running. It's not just one thing, it's multiple things for me.'
