13 lbs at 2.5mg in two months with bad side effects from a prior med is actually a strong start - the cautious pace your doctor is running is the right call for your history. The scale being managed by your doctor instead of you removes a known mental health trigger, which is unusual but makes...

The 0.45ml residual is the correct math for 75% of a full draw. At 5mg in 2ml BAC, that residual is still a usable partial dose, not wasted medication.

The subscription model for GLP-1 oversight is the provider-side friction point right now. Pay-per-visit makes more sense for people who stabilize quickly - mandatory bundled plans don't map to the actual clinical cadence.

Take measurements! Whenever my weight stalls, my waist size is still shrinking. That's what matters most to me.

My partner and I both started at 2.5mg without any problems.

It depends on how you respond. Trial runs started at 2mg, but I began with 1 mg twice a week before going to 2mg, then progressing to 4 mg, 6 mg, 8 mg, and finally 10 mg, spending 4 weeks at each level. Some people stay at lower doses like 2 mg or even 1 mg due to side effects. If you respond...

Weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm 155 pounds down, but it's taken me a few years. My first year was 72.4 lbs, my second was 54.8 lbs, and this year has been less. Some months are great, others I barely lose anything. I live way up north now, so I'm not as active due to the weather...

Yep, smaller volume. I like to keep mine below 25 IU. With GLP-1s, a larger shot doesn't really help. I have a 50 mg vial and dose 10 mg, so I use 1 ml BAC for a 20 iU injection.

Great point, Shannon_04. If you're not sure, consider the overfill a bonus. Especially when starting.

I'd suggest using only 1 ml of BAC water for a 5mg vial. It makes the math easier. I use this calculator to double-check: https://peptidescalculator.com/

Different medicine, but same issues…. See the community

What about keto? You can eat pretty normal-sized portions and still lose weight. The only problem is that it's hard to stick to because most people crave carbs.

There aren't any known interactions with PEA.

Not a peptide, but palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a great analgesic with a lot of human clinical trials showing it's effective for various types of pain. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. There aren't human studies for RA, but it helped mice with osteoarthritis. None of the peptides have...

Yes, there are very few references to those bioregulators in the forum, and they're difficult to find on the vendor lists. I think the reason is the high demand for GLP1s. Most vendors probably prefer to focus on weight loss peptides right now. I hope that changes when the GLP1 market becomes...
