The gap between 0.25mg working well and 0.5mg being too intense is the case for half-dosing compounded sema - the standard schedule doesn't fit everyone.

IBGard works because peppermint oil targets the colon where antacids can't reach.

The 4mm needle working well is the answer - depth variation matters for subcutaneous placement and 4mm delivers reliably without going IM. The filtering habit is worth keeping for peptides: sterilizing after reconstitution reduces contamination risk on every draw. The holdup loss is negligible...

I felt pretty bad at first, then I realized I wasn't eating enough protein. Someone told me to track my protein intake and aim for around 120g a day. I haven't been sick since! I don't even track calories anymore, and I'm losing weight again after being stuck for a while.

Wow, that's a really big dose to start with! I'm sorry you're going through all of this. Get some Pedialyte and Pepto ULTRA. Staying hydrated is super important right now.

I accidentally took a first dose at .5 when I was supposed to start at .25 because I messed up the syringes. I had about three days of nausea and some gas, but then I was mostly fine. I did stop drinking soda though. You can ask your doctor for Zofran, or try OTC stuff like Pepto or Tums. It'll...

My first glass vial of Reta 20mg lasted for eight weeks without cloudiness or losing effectiveness. I used non-Hospira bac water to mix.

Understood. I'm getting Hospira. I couldn't toss it and move on to the next thing because I didn't have the right supplies.

Some think Hospira isn't needed for GLP-1s and that "lesser" bac water is fine. Vendor bac water is likely the issue. Is it the quality of the water itself? Like, is it contaminated or does it have the wrong pH? I'm switching to Hospira from now on. Has anyone seen Janoshik's takes on this...

Thanks! I was thinking about adding more Bac next time I mix. Quick update: it stayed cloudy when we got it out on Monday, so we tossed it.

Yeah, it's a bit odd since it was my first time. A little concerning, but I'm learning. If I screwed up, I can't see what I did wrong. Lots of people here say their stuff mixes clear. The vendor is shipping a replacement and even threw in Hospira bac water. I'm still pretty new to all this...

Hey everyone, So, I mixed up 20mg of reta with 2ml of bac water I got online last Saturday – it was my very first try. I followed the instructions (let the powder warm up, used alcohol wipes, put the bac water in carefully), and it looked perfect, totally clear. Fast forward a week, and I take...

You know, some people have to stop these meds not because they want to, but because they have to. I saw a post on Reddit where someone has been on Mounjaro for over a year and lost a good bit of weight, but then started having lots of GI problems. Hopefully some of the new drugs coming out will...

Yes, rapid weight loss can DEFINITELY affect your hair. It's called telogen effluvium. Make sure you're getting enough protein and vitamins! KelsK6

You really need to use the time you're on GLP-1s to fix the things that made you want to start them in the first place. Someone mentioned that this is similar to the yo-yo effect with mental health drugs: Start drug-feel better-stop drug-feel bad-start drug But for us it's: Start drug-lose...
