Question for you stackers: EL makes both Reta and Tirz, why wouldn't they have a higher ratio of GLP1/GIP in Reta if stacking was a smart thing to do? I've read knowledgeable people speculating that all you're going to do is lose more muscle this way.
What's your current GLP-1?

Oh man the skin discomfort was a real turn-off for me with Reta. And the hunger and cravings for sweets.
I've tried compounded wagovy (prescription pharmacy for 6 months) and also grey semi at 2.7mg per week for a month.. Both knock out some of the appetite but have no side affects. Have not 1lb. I'm also an avid runner. I'm not overweight by much, but could lose 20. I'm thinking about trying Tirz.

Three most common ways to use Tirz;
Research - lyophilized vials from a vendor that you reconstitute with Bac water yourself.
Compounding - A pharmacy telehealth or more rarely your physician uses (Hallandale, Red Rock etc)
Brand Name - Actual Lilly product Mounjaro or Zepbound acquired at your pharmacy or through Lilly direct.

Me neither.
I've only heard of name brand, doctor-prescribed Mounjaro and Zepbound. Either fully/partially covered by insurance or paid for out of pocket for full retail prince, minus manufacturer coupon maybe.
No other way possible to acquire it, IMO.

Ordered PGB Survodutide. Switching it up from Reta.
This is interesting cause sema raised both my heart rate and blood pressure did tirz a few months didn’t help at all with weight loss but unfortunately I might try again :/ see if 5 months or a longer time is the sweet spotI just recently switched from research sema to research Tirz. I didn’t really want to because $$ & sema was working. I wanted to try Tirz to see if I’d have zero side effects. The only side effect I had on sema (besides reflux and burps occasionally) was the increased heart rate. Which is worrisome since I already have a tendency for arrhythmias. The increased heart rate also meant I couldn’t work out while on it. My heart rate with very little effort would go very high (125-150 bpm). I’m normally someone who does cardio & weights several times a week, so not being able to even walk my neighborhood was frustrating. So, I switched to tirz 2 weeks ago. So far, heart rate is closer to normal! And I’m starting to work out again. Loving it!
eta: I had never gone above .375 every 5 or 6 days on sema, so I can’t imagine what the higher doses would’ve been like.

Lizzie, not everyone immediately responds to these peptides. If you were only on it for a few months you really don’t know if you are a responder or not. Some folks don’t experience weight loss until hitting the double digit doses. I read a post once from a person who had reached 15mg and still hadn’t lost weight, but stayed on it due the great glucose control. Due to a shortage she had to go down to 12.5mg. She started losing weight, at the time of her post she had lost over ninety pounds. These peptides work on our hormones, and hormones can be finicky. I would give the tirzepatide another try. Best wishes.
