Weird experience switching from White Market to Grey Tirz.

I used to take White market Tirzepatide from a Mounjaro Kiwkpen purchased at a Thai health clinic. I took 5mg every 5 days via counting clicks from a 10mg pen to save money. I got good hunger suppression but it got weaker over time. With one noticeable side which was diarrhea every morning like clockwork. I got ERP's 30 mg Triz (the orange caps), and out of apprehension of the fact that the the COA showed 36.54 mg and ~34mg in the vial, I reconstituted with 2ml and pulled 28 units. First shot still diarrhea every morning still low level. Then second shot of 28 units the diarrhea stopped, and the level of hunger suppression was very low. So the next week I increased to 30 units and still no diarrhea and not as much hunger suppression than I would want. This last shot I cranked it to 35 units, and I think I have better hunger suppression (although Ideally I would like more) but I am weirded out by still not having diarrhea.

Should I try a new vial or should I crank up the dose?

IDK what I should do here?

Think in terms of mg, not units (except for drawing the fluid).

Are you going by a legitimate third-party test of what you have? Is ERP one of the many vendors which use the same orange or red caps for a particular peptide/quantity without ever changing it out, so that a test on anything but your particular kit of 10 is completely worthless, even from a third-party test?

That said/asked, bear in mind that 5mg is considered the very lowest effective therapeutic dose of tirzepatide, and meant to be titrated up if possible. If you're no longer getting diarrhea (which I think is an unusual side effect for tirz anyway; it's often the opposite funfest), and you're now buying at black-market prices, consider getting back on the official approved titration schedule, which is upping the dose every four weeks by 2.5 mg, until you reach 15 mg or intolerable side effect.

I think the problem of thinking in terms of mg is that I dont really know how much is in the vial, supposedly ERP always overfills by a bunch.


The 34mg test was ERPs own COA to janoshik, and the 36.54mg test was one I paid for a guy off the ERP telegram from the Netherlands who got triz at around the same time as me, to send it to Janoshik, as I cannot ship any from inside the country I live out.


But yeah I guess I definitely gotta titrate up.
