Mixing Tirz... is that cool?

[Stretching_Pennies]

Quick question: My study is switching from a compounded version to a name brand tirzepatide at 5mg. Still have like 2.5mg of the compounded stuff left over. Can I use both in the same week? Injecting at different times, of course.

Tirzepatide is tirzepatide, right?

 

[Stretching_Pennies]

Yeah, I get that. I just wasn't sure about mixing the compounded (which seemed totally useless) with the name-brand stuff. I'm too cheap to just toss the compounded, haha

 

[Lucky_Fixed34]

It's all the same medication. Think of it like mixing apples from two different grocery stores.

 

[Stretching_Pennies]

I hear you, but what I got from the local pharmacy was definitely NOT the same as the name brand. Felt like it was missing something.

It's possible you experienced a nocebo effect. It's been shown that more expensive meds are perceived as more effective. That said, you might just need to up the dosage. My doctor said you can increase by 2mg every 5-7 days without too much trouble (just watch out for GI upset and stay hydrated).

I was on 2.5mg of the real deal for a month and then moved to 5mg of the compounded from some online place. Zero effects. I'm going to try the combo this week, then switch completely to the name brand after that. If nothing changes, I'll up the dose.

I agree with Stretching_Pennies, sometimes the compounded stuff just isn't the same. I swear it's underdosed or something. I switched back to brand name and it was like night and day.

Okay, newbie question here... I've seen people talking about stacking peptides with their MJ. What does that even mean? Is it safe?

I tried stacking Tesofensine with my tirzepatide for a bit. Gave me a ton of energy, but seriously messed with my sleep. Had to stop after a couple weeks. Just a heads up!

 

[Nicky_2002]

Oh no! I'm already not sleeping great on tirz. Tesofensine sounds scary! Maybe I'll just stick to increasing my tirz dose like WellWin suggested. Thanks for the warning QueenMarshmallow!

Stacking just means taking multiple medications at the same time to get different or enhanced effects. As for safety, it depends entirely on what you're stacking and your individual health situation. Always talk to your doctor before trying anything new!
