Greetings from Washington State

Hello everyone.

I'm a new member, recently registered. Truth be told, I followed a certain someone when I learned their Reddit profile was suspended. Super nice person who has a nice spreadsheet of suppliers in their profile which I use. I'm sure it's no secret.

I've been on provider prescribed Sema for about 5ish months. Up to the max dose and it seems to have stopped working. I also have had to supplement my Hallandale supply with additional Sema as there have been some gaps.

Now I'm on Tirz. I just made the switch last week so I'm on my second dose of 5mg. I still have some Sema left over from Hallandale and others... considering stacking the two but I haven't decided yet.

Down 30 lbs since I started. I have about 70 more lbs to go. My wife is down nearly 20lbs on Sema. It still seems to be working well for her.

What else? I guess that's the gist of it.

Thanks to whoever runs the forums and all the people who created and maintain this place. Thankless job I am sure. So thank you!

Welcome aboard.
Always nice to have another person join us.
Did you jump right to 5mg Tirz when you switched over or just increasing it each week?

I stepped my way into it... First week I started with 2.5 tirz.... a few days later I took another 2.5... I didn't feel anything from the 2.5 first dose.

Then on my dose day (today). I just took the 5mg.

Right now I'm loving it.... starting to feel nice appetite suppression. And I would always get this nasty headache on Sema dose day... it feels like a dehydration headache even though I was drinking water. Tough to touch it with OTC pain meds, but usually a combination of the two (advil + tylenol) would eventually lick it.

I'm off script now so I'm just using Skye. Knock on wood no headaches.
