Hi everyone! Started at a much higher weight and have dropped a huge amount over eighteen months, last dose stepped down from the previous amount since my new weight has shifted how the medication affects me. Struggling to hold anything solid down lately, losing close to a pound daily which has...

70 lbs and hitting goal at 6mg in 6 months is such a great result!! Tapering down when you have hit goal is the right question and the fear of doing so is completely normal. The rebound in the OP is real but a slower taper versus a jump is the key difference. You have got a lot of room to step...

Steady on 2.5 the whole way is incredible!! That's all you doing the work with just a little help from the medication. So much headroom left if you ever need it. Congrats on reaching the goal!!

Consistent delivery and solid quality across community orders - well-regarded here.

The RT20 community results will matter more than the vendor COA here - waiting for a few reports rather than being an early tester on a new batch is the conservative call.

Warm broth or ginger tea in small amounts helps move nausea through faster than waiting it out - and tracking portions for the next few days resets the baseline.

there's a cost comparison chart floating around that's pretty useful. glpcalcs.com has most providers listed, though some might be missing. worth checking if you're shopping around.

Lost 32 pounds so far with minimal side effects. Kept maintenance at every 10 days after hitting my goal.

just bumped up to 1mg and spent an hour at my desk yesterday trying to breathe through the nausea. didn't even eat much, just a protein bar. my stomach's not cooperating with anything right now—anyone got food suggestions that won't make me feel sick?

if they're not filtering then there's no need for those supplies. filtering can actually contaminate something that was already clean if you're not careful. if the batch tested sterile then reconstituting unfiltered might not be terrible honestly.

same, i've had mad sweet cravings. but the meds make everything taste sweeter already so i can't handle much actual sugar anyway, which is honestly perfect.

zepbound 15mg kwikpen is about 400 bucks with savings card at costco - highest dose pen available. count the clicks right and it lasts like 4-6 months.

Been on this a year. A1c was 6.5-7 on other meds. Switched and now it's 5.6 and 5.9 on point-5mg. Lost maybe 15 lbs, kind of plateaued. Off one med but still on metformin. Wild thing: I eat garbage and it doesn't matter. Had a yogurt-banana-peanut butter smoothie for breakfast and barely a bump...

6mm works great for me. 8mm too but i don't have much practice with it yet. sometimes a small drip at the injection site with 6mm but not with 8mm. i keep concentrations high so usually 15 units or less, over 20 i switch to the longer needle.

docs who titrate weekly instead of monthly are gonna get more phone calls and follow-ups. mine did that with tirz for everyone, and yeah the lower gi stuff hit hard but i didn't complain—we're both nuts about it. heartburn i had before? gone after the weight came off.
