I saw some concerning news about compounded medications, and it reminded me of this thread. The FDA is looking into topical finasteride and has received multiple reports of side effects, including sexual dysfunction, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. It's probably a good idea to research the...

I stuck with each dose for like 3 months, still dropped weight and had minimal side effects! Dropped a hundred in just over a year, and I only ever hit 1.7!

Don't rush to increase your dosage until you absolutely need to. I've been on this since late 2023, and so far I've shed more than 100lbs, and I'm still not even close to the highest dose.

I noticed the FOX04 on one vendor's list actually links to a lab analysis that says it's FOX04-DRI.

Some people have found success ordering the kids' portions at restaurants, to prevent waste. A strategy to consider!

Drink more water and add more fiber! Fam, I'm in the same boat because I didn't drink enough water this week. The pellet poop life is real.

That moment of mental quiet is really significant. A lot of my patients describe it as the first tangible sign that the medication is effective.

199 lbs is a fantastic achievement! Enjoy weighing yourself! :))))

Definitely increase your water intake, NurseFam! I find that warm water works best. Have you tried senna tea? That usually does the trick for me.

You look fantastic!

It's worth remembering that these medications don't work in isolation. If you haven't addressed underlying issues like diet and exercise, you might just be masking symptoms temporarily only to rebound later. Tolerance can develop, necessitating higher and higher doses, which comes with increased...

It's always smart to understand the half-life of any peptide you're using. For those with longer half-lives, like Reta, use a GLP-1 plotter to see how the concentration builds in your system beyond the injected dose. It can take around a month to reach a steady state on a dose, so wait at least...

You lost 93kg in 43 weeks? I know we aren’t supposed to compare ourselves to others, but I’m at 15mg now, and I've been on MJ for over a year, and it's s-l-o-w going. Edit: Sorry for making this about me. 🙄 You look fantastic, and the look on your face in that last pic is like so much more than...

You look fantastic, really stylish! I understand where you're coming from about stopping. If you've struggled with weight-related anxiety for years, losing weight might be a comfort. I know I'll have to make a tough choice and gain control over my eating at some point. It's worrying! But think...

I just had a DEXA done and muscle mass is solid for my frame. Low RMR shouldn't be an issue from muscle perspective. Hope it goes up soon - it's frustrating watching a buddy drop 15 with zero effort while my scale stays stuck.

Regarding refrigeration, the medication can be left out after the first use for a certain period, but refrigeration promotes stability. I advise my patients to keep it refrigerated to minimize any potential degradation.

Just did my first dose of Reta from my usual source, no sting, no problems, just less hunger and continued loss!

Trying to blend a 2mg semaglutide with 300mcg ipamorelin to get that mix right. Still working through the math on it.

Are you tracking your calories and macros? Sometimes you need to really dial it in to see the scale move. Also, are you drinking enough water? That can stall progress.

What did your diet look like while on semaglutide? Your results are impressive, congrats!
