There's a lot of mixed info floating around about reconstituting this stuff. Spent a couple weeks digging through what's out there online. The key thing to nail down first is whether your version is buffered. Buffered versions are fine with plain BAC water. Unbuffered, the safer bet leans toward...

Been running survo alongside tz myself, pinning each one every six days but staggered by three so something goes in every third day. Climbed tz up to 10 first, then brought survo into the mix. Survo's what broke my stall, same as you I started low. Noticed a small drop on the scale once I...

your doctor starting you lower than the usual 2.5 might just be because of how insulin resistant you are, though im no doctor myself. patience really is key here. some people dont feel anything until they reach a much higher amount, but easing up slowly tends to work out better, it keeps side...

Worth knowing some people are genuinely sensitive and get hit with bad side effects, not trying to scare you off it though, seems like most people sail through just fine. 2.5mg was way too much for my system. Doctor had me stop after just the second dose and take a few weeks off, tried...

You could try injecting two of the 2.5 doses your first week just to see how you handle it. There's actually a 5th dose hiding in the pen too. Plenty of videos on youtube that walk through it.

Worth asking about Vyvanse? Technically an ADHD drug at its core, but got prescribed off-label here for binge eating issues specifically. Actually delivered results.

Congrats! Fought the yo-yo cycle myself for ages, gain, lose, repeat. These medications genuinely feel like a miracle.

Ate lunch roughly three hours back, my first food today, and still feel a bit queasy. Only had a single spoonful of mashed potatoes plus two small pieces of lamb. Had to get up and walk around afterward just to feel some relief.

Seconding this, really solid service from that provider, tons of options too. Been a customer for two years now.

Unfortunately breakdown byproducts like certain aldehydes don't get tested for. That data would've clarified whether this is simply aged water with shifted pH or an actual manufacturing defect. Not something worth injecting personally.

Stop giving up so soon, give it more time. Make sure you're eating in a deficit, focusing on whole foods, lean protein, and plenty of water. Sometimes it just takes months for the medication to fully kick in. In my case it took three and a half months before the weight started coming off. Good luck!

Dealing with an autoimmune thyroid condition here. Started this medication three years back at 284 pounds. Lost 145 pounds total and have maintained that for over a year now. Peak dose reached was 10mg.

Still drink occasionally on this medication. Capped at 1-3 though, just genuinely don't want more than that. Strange side effect too, feels like getting less drunk overall. A couple drinks with nothing else in the stomach used to hit hard, yet somehow it barely registers now. Still smoke...

The 'take advantage of your new life' framing after 90 lbs is exactly right. 245 down to 160 in 11 months is not something you just forget how to do. The habits that developed while the medication was suppressing appetite tend to stick better than people expect.

5mg every 6 days with minimal cravings and satisfaction from meals is the target state. The every-6-days schedule instead of weekly is a small adjustment that makes a real difference for a lot of people. The OP's sweet cravings at 3.5mg is the kind of thing that often resolves as the dose climbs.
