That stash lineup covers the major bases - a year of multi-compound supply is solid by any standard, and the combinations give you real flexibility to dial in what works.
honestly if you're feeling great and losing at that pace with zero side effects, stay at 2.5. slow titration exists for a reason. I was on compounded and my provider let me sit at 5mg for 2 months because I was still losing. if you're trending right there's no rule you have to chase higher.
Canada here, ozempic didn't help much back in 2023. Was paying 250-270 per pen. Thinking about trying again but no insurance. Prices changed? Can I get wegovy or mounjaro here and what would they cost?
when my dose is too high i get diarrhea that's just miserable and stops weight loss cold. chronic diarrhea damages your body — you need to address this. get your kidney function and vitamin levels checked. if you had this at lower doses you shouldn't have gone up. consider dropping back.
Settled and good after some regain is the realistic endpoint most don't talk about - weight returning when stopping is expected, and a stable place without the medication is a valid outcome.
felt it the next day at lunch—only ate half my meal before i was stuffed. weird cause i've always overeaten. after 3.5 months on small meals i gotta force protein sometimes. don't rush your dose.
took a decade but we're finally starting fertility stuff monday and omg nervous. lost 140 lbs since feb, 8 months in. it's been work but happened — small stuff stacked over time. you got this too 💪
7 weeks in and had some skin sensitivity at 1.5mg, so I split it 1mg mon & fri instead. no more side effects and still losing — 17 lbs down since mid-feb.
I saw an article about lawsuits related to severe side effects... makes you wonder. I mean, they list all the potential problems right in the insert, and the pharmacist explains everything. I just wonder if people ignore the risks. My doctor is super careful, keeping me on a low dose and...
If you're gaining weight and always hungry, check with your doctor to see if you're a good candidate for GLP-1 medications. If your insurance won't cover it, there are compounded forms available.
Congrats on the progress, Snack-Dude! I saw someone online who dropped 56 lbs in about 8 months. They said they stayed on a low dose the whole time because it was working. Pretty cool to see different experiences.
I saw a post about someone who lost 129 pounds over 26 months using a GLP-1, then switching to Zepbound! What an inspiration to keep going and adjust as needed. They went from a size 26-28 to a 16-20. Amazing!
I agree with Ozempic_OG_21, systems are key. I'm doing strength training a few times a week, aiming for a step goal, and prioritizing protein at every meal. I track protein, fiber, water, and my shots in an app to spot trends.
