For about 10-20% of people, GLP1s do nothing. Sorry you're dealing with this.

Not everyone gets side effects. I have not vomited so far, though emetophobia and T2D are both part of my story. Now at 7.5mg. I delayed MJ because I feared vomiting, and needles too lol. Old foods are still on the menu, just with far less desire. Fried, greasy and sugary stuff is fine, but I...

Enjoying food is what I miss. Nothing sounds good and I never crave anything, so planning meals is a pain! lol! But I like that overdoing it is no longer automatic. Overeating is a conscious choice, and that has been good for me.

Cutting back was a goal of mine, so these days I drink only in social settings, which is great. The desire is nearly gone. Still, on occasion I drank plenty and had no hangover on mounjaro! Maybe I drink slower? Not sure. I am only on 2.5mg, which may play a part.

Retatrutide controls my autoimmune inflammation well, and twice weekly works better for that. Weight loss pace and side effects barely differ. My late-week hunger and extra eating changed nothing. The loss was huge and I reached goal in 5 months. Sadly, at goal I could not cut the dose, hoping...

I was lucky to respond really well for weight loss. Most of my loss came at .25 and .5. Only recently did I go up to 1 and only now feel side effects. I sat at the smaller doses until loss stopped. How quickly did you reach 1mg?

Nearly 14 months in. Tirz was my first and I loved it, then I stalled badly at class 1 obesity, and about 7 months ago began layering in reta while adjusting tirz. Looking back, I could have raised reta faster, but I feared sides at work. Steady loss returned only at 6mg, roughly five months...

Dealt with the exact same thing starting out, morning sickness is genuinely the worst part. What helped me was eating something bland the second I woke up, like crackers before even getting up. Ginger tea also does wonders, just simmer fresh slices in water roughly ten minutes and sip it...

Interesting question, and I dug into it. That compound apparently cannot be absorbed orally. Its inventor built a related version, SLU-PP-915, to solve exactly that, still in research but promising. The injectable form gets mixed in DMSO and/or PEG400, which scared me off.

My first months were on a Mounjaro pen, then I moved to vials and several peps, and recently went back to pens for daily low volume pins. Getting cartridges and loading them is a bit more hassle, but afterwards it is far more convenient. Bonus for injection-sensitive people: a tiny pen needle of...

Enjoying a trip beats obsessing over foods you are not allowed. I put on five pounds during 12 days in Europe, ate desserts, drank my favorite cocktails, and stayed present. Before, every night would have been a spiral of guilt about self control. Not now, and your new outlook matches mine, so...

You have basically hit the ceiling of oral Rybelsus. Oral bioavailability is under 1%, so a 14mg daily tablet delivers roughly what a 0.5mg weekly Ozempic shot does. To shed the final 3kg and quiet the returning food noise, bring up an injectable with your doctor, either Wegovy or Tirzepatide...

Why do you want to stop? New GLPs keep arriving and competition will push prices down. Staying on for life is perfectly fine. A microdose about every ten days or so keeps everything off for me. No big deal.

Oh let me vent for a second. Before finding this awesome community, I ordered the dual compound with a stabilizer additive from a general supplier, and the shipment got delayed by weather and arrived at my door sitting well above safe temperature. Asked for a replacement since anything over that...

Honestly just testing things out. Sitting 27 pounds under my target. Trying to fine-tune maintenance. Ran it for six weeks and it did exactly what it was supposed to. Would try it again down the road if needed. Didn't feel like I truly needed it, just curious whether it'd be a useful option...
