Still-in-shock is the right reaction - daily changes blur together and then the side-by-side makes it undeniable.

Metformin add-on has some evidence behind it - worth asking the prescriber. Starting from an already-clean diet is a harder baseline: the easy early drops from cutting junk aren't available to you.

Topical GHK-Cu does punch above its price point compared to most alternatives.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! Sounds like staying put might be the smart move for now. Reta_King363, I appreciate you sharing your experience with plateauing.

I'm thinking of switching to maintenance soon. Been using .5 for about 60 days, and I'm starting to lose a bit slower now.

For those on 0.5mg, how long did you stay at that dose while still seeing positive effects? I'm about to take my fourth injection at this level and I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor to keep me here for another month.

Constipation and nausea were manageable with meds and supplements. Unexpected: Tirz nuked my chronic neck pain and headaches. So grateful, but the day before my shot when it wears off, pain comes roaring back. Rough cycle.

Thank you!

I've maintained at 7.5 mg for about half a year now. I'm only about 10 lbs shy of my target weight (I'm just 5'1"). It's funny, it seemed to happen when I wasn't even paying attention. I skipped weighing myself for over a month because I was so busy, and then one day I realized my clothes were...
