Random question: research subject is switching from compounded tirz to grey at 5mg. Still have 2.5 of compounded left. Is it okay to combine? Separate pins of course.
Grey + compounded?

Yeah I just wasn't sure about mixing the compounded (which I honestly feel like did nothing) with the gray. I'm such a cheapskate I can't just throw away the compounded, lol

It's the same thing, Tirz is Tirz
It's like asking if you can mix apple from 2 different stores

Right, I understand that but definitely what I got from the compounding pharmacy was nothing like the name brand.

Could be a nocebo effect. It's well documented that the more expensive (and bitter) a medication is, often the greater the perceived effect.
But far more likely: you need to up the dosage (in order to experience the same effect as before, since your body is already accustomed to the current dose). Per my board-certified internist, you can safely increase the dose of tirz by 2.5 mg every week (without any major problems except annoying GI side effects like diarrhea, provided you stay hydrated).

I was on 2.5 of Eli Lilly for 4 weeks and then moved up to 5 of a compounded from Red Rock. Didn't really have any effects. This week I will do the combo and then after that go completely gray. If I'm still in the same boat I will increase dosage as you said.
