There is a subreddit for people who came off the medication, worth a look for their perspectives.

Compounded tirz isn't some shady thing. Mine comes from an FDA pharmacy, so that term baffles me.

Three years in on Ozempic now, I'm 71, and side effects have been nonexistent: nausea and sulfur burps never showed up. Current dose is 2.0. Dinner is pretty much my only meal, with a light snack after. I'm 5'2" and started around 180, and I'm now 140-145, it varies. Food noise has vanished. Age...

Just teasing you, I know. It really was an honest slip: my fridge holds two mixed vials, 10mg and 30mg (both with 1ml bac water), and by accident I pulled my dose out of the 30mg one, believing it was the 10mg. I worried a lot about the fallout, yet I escaped easily, only somewhat...

Been on reta for around six weeks, with a trip coming up in roughly seven days. Currently at 4mg weekly. Down roughly 10lbs and overall things are going well, but there's a real thought of pausing now, right before heading out on that trip. There's this flat, gray feeling lately, lower drive...

Pace of increasing my amount is really up to the individual, I moved up about as fast as side effects allowed, noticeably quicker than the clinical trial schedule, without any issues I could point to. My goal is losing a hundred pounds starting from my heaviest weight before this medication...

Vulnerable post incoming... Dealing with a lot here. Polycystic ovaries, type 2 diabetes, a painful skin condition. My entire existence has revolved around carefully juggling blood sugar and diet. Over the years, tried plenty of approaches, mostly successfully, for the condition causing the...

This is literally the thread where my opening comment was about wanting more data on the healing peptide for that exact reason. Plenty of peptides discussed here genuinely lack the evidence to back their claims, which is exactly why I'd welcome more research. Not sure how you landed on the idea...

Fatigue's really common, especially the weeks right after a dose increase. A couple things worth ruling out on top of your current routine: Make sure you're getting enough total calories, it's surprisingly easy to eat way less than you realize on this medication even when a meal feels like a...

Reads almost identical to my own eight-month run, only on Reta, slightly lower doses. Started at 2mg, climbed to 10mg. Your starting point was a touch heavier than mine. I was at 220, though 215 when I actually began. Bouncing between 159-162 running 6 and 8mg over the last three weeks. Second...

What are you targeting for daily calories? Carbs aren't the enemy generally, same goes for fat and protein. Went low-carb back in 2018 myself, dropped 80 lbs, then regained roughly 60 of it eventually. On reta specifically I've noticed if my mood turns sour, carbs tend to fix it. As long as...

Yeah, noticing that too! Didn't have much trouble with the fifth or third compounds injecting into my belly or thighs. But with the sixth compound (starting week three now, 1 mg daily) my stomach looks like a battlefield!

Really wrestling with this. Reached my clothing target (a size that felt comfortable, didn't want to be stuck at the top end in regular stores) but I'm still just barely under 200lbs. Feels like the loose skin will always make me look heavier than I am, even though I've built decent muscle...

What amounts are you running on each one? Really like how that combo's set up, tempted to try it myself. Already dabbling in stacking, just a small bit of Tirz on Mondays alongside my regular Reta on Thursdays. Starting to wonder if my body's adapting too much to it.

That does seem uncommon, but it's a documented thing. Somewhere between 5 and 10 percent don't hit even a 5 percent drop from where they began. Are you seeing no response across multiple different peptides or GLP compounds, or just this one?
