Cagri Day 10
I am appending a followup here in the same thread as
@indolent suggested.
So finally 12+ hours after 0.8mg (!) there is a noticeable effect thats independent from Tirz and definitely different. The food aversion kicks in about 12 hours after pin and is definitely not nausea (the Tirz affect) but instead a lower grade aversion to food. However from previous doses I am expecting it to be pretty short-lived to be honest (and this before I have had time to get used to it), let's see next 7-10 days. At this rate I would end up at 2mg/week in multiple doses which is WAY more than I ever expected (I thought maybe 0.5-0.7mg).
I guess my observations on Cagri are several already. First, there is a WIDE sweet spot range, I am literally living proof. Second, if you are intent on using it (and some aren't) be prepared to start very low but go through the gears pretty rapidly if you 'need to.' I went from the ultra cautious 0.15mg to 1.6mg/week basically in 10 days. Third, sensitivity to amylin agents is TOTALLY independent of GLP1 sensitivity; I have responded well to Tirz and a lot less to Cagri.
Which of course begs the question why continue it? I am way off my original protocol - (which was a bit of extra Cagri to add suppression around my Tirz dosing), and never intended to become a 2 medication lab rat. Question I am asking myself, will stay on it for another couple of weeks then see if the extra stack is really worth it. Maybe to stay lower on Tirz overall I guess, that seems like the biggest positive in my mind. Also, if at some point at or around 1.5-2mg a week suppression lasts for longer than it has so far, then maybe that combo of benefits will be worth it. Jury definitely still out, and nowhere near a slam-dunk addition.
Finally, after reading more than I ever thought, I am being really careful with this stuff. Taking care to keep refrigerated, and planning to toss vials earlier than 28 days just to limit risk of degradation. I know it's been formulated to avoid fibrils and Novo chose it over dozens of other options, but I also have enough info that suggests Cagri is just a bit more fragile than GLPs, and last I checked I don't have another body.
The sema idea (instead of Cagri) is an interesting one. I'd resisted stacking GLPs simply to avoid screwing around with their effects too much. They were formulated each in a certain way for a reason, and I respect the effort that went into that research. But compared to spending $50-100 a week on Cagri, Sema does seem awfully tempting as an option. Or be a simpleton and just move up on Tirz and stop all this faffing around.
Not at all the journey I had expected, and thought helpful to share.
