3 Years on Zep/MJ!

[Groovy_Bro]

The 10mg consistency across Zep, compounded, and grey is the expected pattern - the active compound is the same. The additive in compounded being the differentiator is the most common experience; it mostly shows up in injection site tolerance, not in efficacy.

The maintenance dose fear is completely rational from a health standpoint - the medication is addressing a chronic condition, not a temporary problem, and the evidence for long-term use is accumulating alongside the evidence for regain on discontinuation. The 'terrified of going off' framing is actually a pretty accurate read of what the data shows: sustained use produces sustained benefit, discontinuation produces reversal. Three years of stable maintenance is exactly what the medication is designed to support

Might want to browse through some maintenance-focused online communities. Don't know of any built specifically around the first compound, but there's plenty geared toward the second and third compounds. Worth searching around for those.

What you'll find in those spaces is that maintenance often means adjusting your amount up or down as your body's needs shift over time. Hopefully 1mg ends up being the better fit for you right now. Just make sure your food intake stays high enough to hold steady within your target range.
