The mood dip at lowest tirz dose often resolves as the dose climbs - the initial suppression spike is more likely the cause than a structural difference from sema. Worth one more step before switching.

The testing data on subsequent batches being clean is useful signal - a single anomaly followed by consistent clean results is a different risk profile than ongoing variance. Group testing on the -10 batch with three vials all passing is about as good a data point as you can get without lab...

Starting dose on reta is typically 0.5mg weekly, so the concentration in your vial determines how many units that is - a 10mg/mL concentration would give 0.05mL per shot, or about 5 units on a 100-unit syringe. Worth calculating before pulling 40 units if you haven't confirmed the mg/mL.

I agree with CompoundTale, try to maintain muscle. Consider resistance training along with the GLP-1. Otherwise, you'll lose muscle along with the fat. Congrats on your progress!

Fantastic work!

Spectacular!

Yup. You can change it by a day whenever you want. Everything about injection timing and changes can be found in the patient info literature that comes with your prescription. I advise reading it and keeping a copy for reference. The manufacturer has a lot of helpful info there.

I don't think it's about being meant to lose weight, bye-bye-binge, but more about how complex our hormonal systems are. Medications like these reveal that obesity isn't about willpower, but about malfunctions in systems we don't fully control. It's about healthcare, not shame.

That's great progress Jules_01! My doctor mentioned that some people stay on a low maintenance dose even after reaching their goal weight, to help their body normalize to the new weight. Maybe something to consider?

You'll be just fine.

Absolutely. Cortisol, the main stress hormone, is a huge factor in increasing hunger, alongside insulin. Cortisol hinders the body's ability to tap into fat reserves, similar to insulin. It's hard to shed pounds when you're stressed unless you're fasting for a while. So, when stressed, you...

Very visible.

VerifiedPeptides came through on time, everything solid. Unlike some others, they actually print a batch number and you can pull the testing sheet straight from their site. That's how you know a vendor's doing it right.

Totally see a difference!

Fantastic Job!!!

Nice work! You must feel so much healthier already!

Speaking of cheaper prices, apparently the Canadian patent for Ozempic expired in January. That means other companies can start making generic versions. It might take a while for those to become available though. My doc mentioned a cheaper, no-name brand coming out but didn’t have a date.

I read about this lady who was on a compounded med and her cost went way up. She made a website to track prices. It was confusing for her to figure out the costs... I can relate to that!

Everything is different depending on where you live.

I read somewhere that Canada might see prices drop to around $100 in June.
