Switching from sema to zep is often a pretty smooth ride. They're similar, but zep targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, so some people notice better appetite control. But, the initial side effects can be a bit stronger, like nausea and tiredness. Start with the lowest dose and increase it...

My out-of-pocket cost here in Texas is $1,400. My insurance says I need pre-authorization, and they stop covering it after two months at any dose. They wouldn't cover my 2.5 dose, only if I went to 5mg. I wanted to stay on 2.5 as long as it worked. My cost with coverage is $160. It feels like...

To add to what Core_Fit mentioned, some medications used for weight management, like semaglutide, can indeed cause gastrointestinal side effects. These commonly include nausea, constipation, and sometimes, sulfur burps. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for...

Congrats!

I've been taking it since early last year. Kicked off with 0.5cc and now I'm at the max, 5cc. Weight came off, but when I try to lower my dose to stay where I'm at, the weight comes back. Also lost a lot of muscle (glutes are GONE). I'm thinking about stopping because I'm hearing about all...

It was almost certainly caused by the food.

Both pictures look fine.

The medication itself doesn't destroy muscle! It's what you eat and drink that matters! Use a protein and water calculator. For example, at 64, I need 90 oz of water and 85 grams of protein. I lost 66 lbs in a year by focusing on protein, water, veggies, and salads, and avoiding empty calories...

Also, echoing some sentiment from the other forum, younger individuals should really explore lifestyle changes before resorting to medications like retatrutide. It's often better to optimize diet and exercise first, if possible.

For those not feeling the full effects of retatrutide, especially younger users like the 21-year-old mentioned on the other forum, consider that dosage and frequency matter. 500mcg every three days isn't the same as 1mg once a week. More frequent injections, maybe twice a week, and titrating the...

I've been on Oz for about 8 years, and DEXA scans show I've gained about 25 lbs of core muscle and lost about 30 lbs of fat. It might not sound impressive, but as a full-time wheelchair user, it shows I've been able to slowly build muscle in my core and upper body to get around. I do resistance...

Same here! About 80 lbs gone and need to shed about 35 more!

Killing it!

Well done!

Has anyone had experience with sermorelin or ipamorelin? I'm trying to find alternatives to enclo. I heard sermorelin can cause sleep disturbances.

I have been researching it also. Have you experimented with it yourself?

I started with 1mg. I've had bad experiences with other GLP-1 drugs, so I wanted to start slow. After a week, I increased it to 2 mg and have been on that dose since. I'm planning to go to 3 mg with my next injection. I initially experienced low energy, but it has since gone away. No insomnia or...

I've had mixed experiences with GLP-1s. While the appetite suppression was beneficial, the gastrointestinal side effects were a major issue. Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide disrupted my digestive system. My wife has been using Retatrutide for a few months and has seen very positive results. I'm...

It's important to remember the health benefits. Has your doctor mentioned anything about strength training to help with the loose skin?
