It's common to need several medications for BP control. Getting a home BP monitor is a good idea; they're cheap. Deciding on medication changes based on just two readings is hard since one is borderline and the other isn't good. A bunch of readings help you average it out. Treat high BP now...

I had naturally high BP too. I switched meds a while back with good results. Before swap from Losartan: 135/85 After swap to Telmisartan: 115/75 My current cocktail: Amlodipine 10 mg HCTZ 25 mg Telmisartan 40 mg I was considering swapping HCTZ for Chlorthalidone, but my doctor wants to...

For those looking for alternatives, I have heard good things about a compounding pharmacy down in Texas. Specifically, Talon. Said they are super friendly and knowledgeable. I haven't used them personally yet though because I'm not in Texas.

I understand. I've been reading and researching on the site for a while now. There is a ton of great info, but also some conflicting stuff. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best. Been on the GLP-1 train for a while, just new to this forum.

I also received the email. Skye has worked well for me, although they are on the expensive side. Looking for other options if anyone has suggestions. I'm not tech savvy enough for crypto though, which seems to be a requirement for many of the reputable alternatives.

I agree with FiberTracker that daily weighing can be useful, but only if you don't get too hung up on the daily fluctuations. I only log my weight once a week to avoid obsessing over small changes.

It's amazing how much a change in weight can affect someone's overall health and well-being. The photos really show the positive impact. You must be thrilled with the improved health markers, BurnBoss.

Fantastic job! That's a significant accomplishment. Keep pushing until you reach a healthy state.

Fantastic!!

Thinking about the adolescent obesity studies with semaglutide... Makes you wonder about the long-term impacts of starting these meds so young.

A category for it exists now! Need to wait for suppliers now.

Compounded GLP-1s are a hot topic. There's a lot of debate about their legality and safety, especially with Big Pharma getting involved. It sounds like the regulatory landscape is changing rapidly, so it's important to stay informed.

You look terrific!!

Wait, there were two people who did this?! I knew someone who took a whole R30 vial thinking it was their weekly 10mg MOTSc. Didn't go to the ER, though.

That's awesome, Blair75! Remember that everyone's journey is different, but stay consistent and trust the process. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We're all here to help!

Go you! Happy Zepiversary! Looking fabulous and woot woot on the accomplishments.

Absolutely amazing! 🥰

I've heard about supply issues with certain medications from my pharmacist, and it seems like Canada might be experiencing some shortages specifically. Anyone have more info on this?

*Just a note: assuming OP is from Canada.*

THIS ISN'T CAUSED BY THE MEDICATION. IT’S CAUSED BY DRASTIC DIETARY CHANGES! It's pretty common! 20/4 fasting is basically a low-fat diet… reduced fat intake means gallbladder issues! Back in the 80s/90s, it was super common because of the low-fat craze. Medication trials have to report ANY...
