    2.5mg tirz every five days and thinking of adding reta

    I concur with everyone else about just sticking with Tirzepatide. I had my best results when I did 2x/week dosing, i.e. 2 mg Tue AM & Fri PM. I would tinker with dose and timing before adding another variable into the mix.

    New and looking for guidance

    You might also consider splitting your dose. For example, if you take 10 mg/week, try 5 mg q 3.5/days.

    First time ordering feeling anxious

    I know this sounds harsh, but how exactly do you expect anyone here to be able to answer this question? We have no way of knowing. You didn't even give the name of the company initially! So welcome to the forum; it's good you found your way here. Now what you have to do is spend a couple of...

    Minimum BAC for reconstitution

    It's the smallest quantity that I feel I can easily and reliably draw up correctly on a standard insulin syringe. The cardinal markings (i.e. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 ...) are easier to see and read, and there's no need to use a bigger volume.

    Minimum BAC for reconstitution

    Yeah, solubility isn't really an issue. I prefer an injection volume of 0.2 mL, so I adjust the concentration of my doses to achieve that. I would bet that even the max dose of Tirzepatide of 15 mg is easily dissolvable in 0.1 mL if you wanted to use that.

    Tirz dosage equivalent of Sema .5 ?

    That seems to be very idiosyncratic. Some people swear that semaglutide is far superior, but I've also heard many success stories with tirzepatide. Food noise was always a very minor issue for me, but what little I had was resolved with 2mg 2x/week of tirzepatide.

    Let see everyone’s weight loss results

    That recomp pic is amazing. Hard to believe it's only 9 lbs on the scale. The only downside to weightloss for me is that my lifts have plummeted, especially the bench press, with my bodyweight going from 145+ to 110lbs, but if I convert my lifts to a multiple of body weight, then they don't look...

    Tirz Price Tracker October

    If you think about it, that's a shitload of Tirzepatide. One kit would be 9 months of doses at the maximum of 15mg/week. (Although there are more than a few folks here that have 2 or 3 years worth stocked up!)

    Meal replacement shakes?

    Any commercially available one that you find palatable should be fine. Just make sure there's at least 20 grams of protein per serving, and that the sugar/artificial sweetener is acceptable to you.

    How did you choose your goal weight?

    I was aiming towards my high school weight, but I'm now at goal, which turns out to be about 5 lbs less than I weighed in high school. However, my lean body mass is probably about 10 pounds lower, so I sure don't have the same body as a post-menopausal female than I did in the 70s! I...

    Weight loss goals and dealing with family

    This is quite common. The best way to handle it is to not handle it. "I'm not discussing this anymore." "My body size is none of your business." "My doctor is happy with my weight." "This is not a topic for discussion, I am leaving/hanging up." Then do it. (BTW, this forum is not...

    Addressing non-sterile supply: Is there an easy path to [sublingual] Tirzepatide?

    Making an oral formulation of the current GLP1-RA is basically a joke. The approved oral form of semaglutide is 14mg, vs 0.25 mg parenteral. That's how low the useful absorption is. That same stomach acid that makes sterility a non-issue is also what destroys peptides before they enter the...

    Maintenance has been going pretty well. I had dropped to 2mg q7d, and my weight seemed to stabilize around a certain number.

    Storage and Using Peptides / BAC Water

    People have spent way too much energy arguing about this, when frankly, it's not going to make much difference. I store BAC unopened in a cool, dark place. I refrigerate it after opening. I use good sterile technique, and have used BAC water that was first opened a year ago with no ill...

    Started on tirzepatide 11 months ago at 145 lbs, 36% body fat, now 111 lbs, 25% body fat, at goal weight basically. (5'1" F) Plan is to increase dose interval to 5, then 7 days. (Currently 2mg q 3.5 days.) Eventually, I'd like to just take a dose when I feel like I need it. I've got about 240 mg...

    Orforglipron: The next big thing?

    No. Comparing to a control group is required, but it doesn't have to be a placebo control group. It's 100% acceptable, even required, to compare a new treatment to the standard-of-care treatment. For example, if I were testing a new oral medication for Type 2 DM, I might randomize the...
