Taking your shot every 5 days?

I’ve noticed that I always start snaking a lot after 5 days, no matter how high my dose gets, and I’m thinking I might take a shot every 5 days instead. Has anyone explored this?

So do you split your dose? I was thinking of just taking a full one every 5 days

I dose less on a split dose but mine's not half.

I'd check your weekly calories total first. Snacking for 2 days out of 5 might be either a good thing or killing your progress, based on your weekly deficit/macros
 
Well, it sorta started because I have .5ml syringes. So I pinned a load on day 5, then more on day 7. The EL poopsheet says it was designed for "weekly." But that statement alone can start a shit fight. If you can afford it, jack as much as you want, when you want. But don't end up in the hospital. How's that?

What dose are you actually on right now? You say that no matter how high your dose you still have the desire to snack, but I’m wondering if you’re really that high. I personally would try increasing your weekly dose before splitting. Not that I think that there is anything wrong with splitting.

I'm in the "3.5 days" camp, did it on Tirz, now on Reta.

Personally, I didn’t love that for the first few days after the full dose (tirz), I could barely eat or even drink enough… and then for the last day and a half before the next shot, I’d suddenly turn into some famished animal and go for anything that looked even remotely edible.
 
I started taking 2.5 tirz every 6 days after the first month. It worked much better for me, I was too hungry on day 7 other wise. When I moved up to 5, I went back to every 7 day, I think more was built up in my system so hunger was more under control by then.

have you ever tried any other GLPs with a stronger effect on hunge? you didn't specify what you were using but i'm guessing you're on reta since this is a common thing people complain about. After you're well set in your split dosing routine try and add another compound that's more powerful on the hunger suppression, I don't think that going to +10mg of reta per week would be the most efficient option in your case.
hell, you could just be doing 5mg a week with a heavy appetite suppresser 3-4days later, minimal doses for max health and efficienty

That’s still a low dose. Why not titrate up?

Because it’s working the rest of the week, and it’s hard to get enough protein and stuff now, and I want to milk this dose dry before I move up otherwise I might not lose as much weight oh and I don’t have a needle over 100 units

You need a bigger syringe that 1ml? Just do 2 shots split dosing as mentioned above. You could always use a little less BAC to drop the shot amount while still getting what you want.

Sounds like you got a plan. Many people pin 2X per week or at some interval other than 7 days with no ill effects. I think that the 7 day regime is more about patient compliance with medications than anything about receptors.

This is exactly what I suspect, that it's easiest to just tell patients that they need to pin weekly on the same day. People in general are so comically bad with compliance for medications even with easy instructions that I can only imagine how badly a lot of people would screw up being told to do something on an odd number of days. Better for prescribers to cover their asses lol

Compliance with medications is surprisingly low and it has been that way for decades. Back in the early 2000s the WHO called medication adherance a global health issue. By all accounts, the composite rate of non-compliance in most studies is around 50% of people don't take their medications as prescribed. The cost to the global healthcare systems in the 100s of billions annually due to increased hospitalizations.

Pinning every five days, I hope there's an app for that 😂. I couldn't do it just because I travel too much and not in the same place every 5 days.

I have a 6 day trip comming up in two weeks and am already mildly stressed about having to pin the full dose and maybe spoil the first 2 days.

But I think I found a solution for my trip to Spain in July where I will be staying in four different locations over a period of two weeks:

I'm going to order a 5mg kit of Reta and 3ml BAC's. Just reconstitute them for immediate use. It's not the most cost effective but a small cost to pay for consistency my peace of mind.

The rest of my peps can wait 😇

Most of my flying is domestic, but I’m on a flight to Europe right now and brought my supply with me in a Yeti. You do what you gotta do.

You could always just transfer what you need into a new vial rather than buy a small 5mg kit. I’ve also adjusted my pin day by a day or two as needed.
 
I was doing tirz every 6 days as I felt the hunger coming on by day 7 (at 7.5mg).

When I was on compound Sema I would get crazy hunger pangs first thing some mornings then they would subside and I would go about my day.

I'm now experimenting with Reta 0.75mg on a Monday then 7.5mg Tirz on a Thursday (two weeks in) so will assess how that goes for me. Will find the balance between the two.
That being said, I woke up with the hunger today (Wednesday). Will give it another week or two before adjusting doses I reckon. Although now that I'm thinking about it, I did have dinner at 2:30pm yesterday.....

I still enjoy food but the past two weeks it's very easy to say no when the partner offers me ice-cream after dinner.

I do every 5 days... currently bangin 10mg tirz with 6mg reta. Was doing 10mg reta and 6mg tirz but i love getting disgusted by the thought of eating.... not the smartest mentality or healthiest option, but it works for me.

I've been pinning 18mg of tirz weekly and just pinned 4mg of reta this past Friday and cut back my weekly dose of tirz to 12mg. I'm not sure if I like the feeling of less tirzepatide. Probably too early to tell at this point. I was going to pin another 2mg of reta yesterday, but didn't end up doing it as I haven't felt the best. But, so far, I think I like the feelz of tirz over reta. I think I even like the feelz of sema over reta. So, I totally get why would would reverse 10mg tirz with 6mg reta rather than vice versa.

Yeah for me it only lasts a few minutes really, not long enough to find myself actually wanting to eat. And by first thing I mean around 4am.
