Nighttime shots to sleep through side effects is the most-repeated tip for a reason. Low to no nausea is genuinely common - it just doesn't get posted because there's nothing to troubleshoot.

Pre-labeled nutrition per meal removes the calculation - useful for hitting protein targets when appetite is variable.

Coming off 15mg tirz, start Reta at 2-4mg. The hunger pattern shifts - tirz front-loads satiety, Reta builds more gradually.

That's a great idea! I've also had luck calling the medication manufacturer directly and asking if they have any patient assistance programs. Sometimes they can offer significant discounts or even free medication to those who qualify.

I've been using this online provider for a few months and it's been the cheapest option I've found. They charge the same monthly fee no matter what dose you're on, which is nice once your dose starts going up. I was worried about using an online provider at first, but my experience has been good...

I've heard that one of the big box stores sells it for around $150/month, if you have a membership there.

I saw a progress pic of someone who lost 60 pounds in a year. The jawline transformation was incredible! Seeing the before and after is so inspiring. Congrats to everyone here!

Congrats! I'm at 209.8 this morning, down from about 260. Hoping to be in Onederland before my next doctor's visit.

t68s only for me. bought in january and march, and the third-party testing came back solid. waiting on march batch to finish testing but looking very promising so far. they take cards and ship in 3-4 days. way more convenient than the drama with other vendors.

Congratulations Meal_Fixed! I totally understand. Every Tuesday is shot day, and Mondays I'm super hungry and expect a big jump on the scale Wednesday. But it never happens. Maybe up half a pound, but then it goes back down after the shot.

Switching GLP-1s can be tricky. It's always best to consult with your doctor, especially given the varying half-lives and potencies of these medications. A gradual transition is generally recommended to minimize side effects.

To the person just starting out: Get a shot tracker app to keep track of your injections. Also great idea to use a food tracker so you can keep an eye on your calorie intake. Plus an exercise tracker. And check out the community for food ideas when you don't feel like eating much.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Whose protocol are you referring to?

I've seen some people report increased feelings of depression while taking GLP-1 medications, which could certainly impact a relationship. If you experience new or worsening depression, talk to your doctor immediately.

What do people do for the tiredness? I've been on this for almost 2 years, I eat protein, but my water intake could be better. Could that be it? Every time I take a dose, I dread getting more tired.

Absolutely. Always weigh the potential benefits against the risks. Especially with compounded medications, since they don't have the same FDA oversight.

Congratulations!! I love seeing people succeeding!

Ugh, Big Pharma at it again. Leave us alone!

I'd include #6: Increase or decrease your dose GRADUALLY (0.25mg at a time) and only when you feel ready. Don't just follow the suggested schedule – especially that 1mg jump! Way too much! And when you're ready to lower your dose, do it the same way, 0.25mg at a time. SLOW is key!
