Tirz onset is usually 2-4 weeks versus sema's faster first response - previous sema experience makes the slower start feel like it's not working.

Weeks of radio silence from a vendor usually means one of three things - they've gone dark, had a supply disruption, or are overwhelmed and triaging orders - none of which improves with more contact attempts.

ABC Labs and Diagnostics Research are both used in the community. For tabs specifically, HPLC over just activity assay is worth the extra cost if you're trying to confirm both identity and dose.

switched to mid-afternoon SS-31. running Mots-C 5mg every other day in the AM fasted. second cycle now. first one made me tired. day 11 of 30—already feeling the synergy kick in.

low ferritin isn't a diagnosis by itself, needs explaining. pre-menopausal women usually not a big deal but 60 year old or male? absolutely needs looking into. often requires checking for gut blood loss w/ scoping unless it's diet.

congrats that's awesome! quick q — were you exercising? how much? just started mounjaro 2.5 and doing the one meal fasting thing like you. feel a bit under-eating but no hunger. working out 4-5 days now to match your pace. thanks for sharing.

agree with like 95% of this. I've got all mine from injection shop, currently have 7–8 30-unit hospiras. was weak for a GB deal and just picked up 4 R30s and 1 R60.

been on 2.5 for a while, doc wanted to try 5 because appetite was creeping back. started the 5 and immediately heart palpitations, shortness of breath, heart rate through the roof. ER after 3 weeks—140 bpm, couldn't breathe. they found tachycardia but labs were clean. dropped back to 2.5 and it...

Started tirz yesterday at 2.2mg and it's so quiet — no side effects. Today zero food noise. No voice saying 'eat more because you're bored.' Had to remind myself eating's a good idea. Not hungry. Kinda wild how subtle but how it works lol.

Didn't research before starting, just heard it caused weight loss. Shocked by the lack of hunger and cravings. More energy too, and all this after only 2 shots. Can't believe the difference.

My doc wrote a script for it but I'm bipolar and really sensitive to meds. I'm worried about emotional blunting or depression. How common is that side effect actually? I'd like to hear from people who experienced it and people who didn't.

I guess it's like that saying, 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes'! I knew better, and I paid for it. FastingGains thanks for the tips! I will definitely be more careful.

Okay, fair points. Fried foods, alcohol, dairy...you're right. It was definitely what I ate. These foods take longer to digest. These were all triggering foods, and I know better. I was just hoping it wasn't the Ozempic making it worse! Lesson learned. Avoid heavy and fried foods!

I plateaued on Sema after dropping some weight initially. It's good to know it happens to other people! That's why I feel less guilty using it, since I had a lot to lose for my health.

Has anyone else had a really hard time after eating certain foods? Last night I had a beer, some cornbread casserole, some pasta salad, fried shrimp, and candied yams... I had terrible burping and gas and woke up at 4 AM needing to RUN to the bathroom with gas and diarrhea. It was like, way...
