I have been on 3.5mg since week 5 - now 20 weeks in. I am consistently losing around 2 pounds a week – depending on how constipated I am. I'm really happy a smaller dose works for me since it's cheaper and the side effects aren't as bad.

I went up to 2.0 about a month and a half back. I'm actually getting concerned because I think I'm losing too much weight. People are starting to wonder if I'm ill. I started this to get my A1c down and maybe drop a few pounds. I've dropped about 25 pounds since starting at 180. My A1c went from...

It all points to a bigger problem. Sure, GLP-1s are great, but we also need to teach people about nutrition, make sure they can get healthy food, and that they don't have to work so many jobs they can only afford quick, processed crap.

I was so happy when I stopped constantly thinking about food and didn't want junk anymore! That’s what this medication is all about for me. No more mental battles. I’ve been on 2.5mg for nine weeks and my appetite is still suppressed, and the food noise is barely there. I'm doing pretty well...

That's a big leap up, going straight to 2mg!

I understand what you're experiencing. Something that helps me a lot is planning meals frequently and spacing them out during the day, like every 2-3 hours. I do this on MJ and plan to do it forever, meds or not. That way, my body gets consistent nourishment, and I don't get to the point of...

Most people always chase the newest shiny thing.

For anyone who clicked hoping for the name: it's retatrutide.

We don't have any safe, effective, or approved myostatin inhibitors yet, Many are waiting. There are a few in development, but they're monoclonal antibodies and will be very expensive and not easily available. Some peptides are marketed as myostatin inhibitors, but their results and safety are...

For your info... My doctor prescribed Metformin along with Ozempic and suggested I try it if I hit a plateau. So far, I've broken through plateaus by adjusting my calorie intake.

The results are similar on paper, but the side effect profiles are different. Tirz is likely more favorable. Sema was the original, but it's outdated now. Cagri was new, but not a selective amylin agonist. Amylin agonists (like Elora) have more tolerable side effects. CagriSema is like a...

Keep going! Great job!

This is a question for your doctor, but here's what might happen: you'll probably continue Metformin until your blood glucose levels are low enough to discontinue it later.

No flirting here, but you genuinely look fantastic! What a wonderful transformation.

I'm going to lower the dose slowly when I reach my goal weight, just as I slowly increased it. I'm 6 months in and only at 1.9 mg/week, happy with losing 1-2 lbs/week. I plan to come off completely and see what happens. If I gain weight back and it doesn't stabilize, I'll use reta again to get...

Eh, some people do it. I've done it, and it seemed fine, felt the same as usual. Some of these peptides are tougher than we think.

Same here! I'm sticking with tirzepatide as long as possible!

Came across a database of reported side effects. Super helpful to see what others are dealing with. I'm sharing it with my clinic. My doctor always says that patients know these meds best. Hopefully it helps us all keep each other safe. I'd suggest using with caution and remembering this is...

For anyone who is just starting - don't get discouraged by slow progress. I have patients who lose quickly on 0.25mg of Ozempic. I have patients who need 2.0mg to even see a change. Everyone reacts differently. Stick with the titration schedule your doctor recommends!

We should filter grey market stuff anyway, 'cause we have no clue about the labs. Filtering costs next to nothing. Don't even need the "scary mutagenics" reason; I'm sold at "we don't know if they checked for bugs."
