Maxed out

[Dookpop]

I have maxed out at 15mg every 7 days. I still have about 20-30 pounds I want to lose. For the last 3-4 weeks, I’ve been maintaining the same weight fluctuating up and down about 2-3 pounds. What are you guys doing once you’ve maxed out at 15?

I’m in the same boat, I’ve lost 100 pounds over the past year and want to lose another 20 to 30. I stack Reta which helped me but now I’m stuck, been stuck for months. Tried injecting every 5 days switched back to 7. I’m interested to see what people do in this case as well ….

I maxed at 15 for last 4ish months. Added extra protein and Cagri .125mcg

Are you maxed out on Reta? I'm not saying that this is the way to go, but I went to 15mg Tirz and 5mg Reta. I then titrated down on the Tirz while titrating up to 12mg Reta. I've never had a stall. I'm down 92lbs and still losing.

If you are already maxed out on Reta, maybe try adding Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin. Tesa is FDA approved to target visceral fat. One thing to note is that Tesa does retain water, so while it is actually burning fat the scale may not reflect it much until you go off the Tesa and lose the water weight.

cagrilintide+tirzepatide broke a 7 month stall for me, but the little .125mcg microgram doses didn't do it. ended up taking 2.5mg weekly. hoo boy did i need daily naps, but it did the trick.

Take Tirzepatide every 5 days.

Take Tirzepatide every 5 days.

@Dookpop this is your answer

 

[SDglp188]

When this happened to me. I did a refuel day. Ate higher calories to shock my system. Sounds counterproductive, but this is a tactic many people use in different scenarios.

 

[Dookpop]

Take Tirzepatide every 5 days.

At 15mg?

I’ve been on the fence about cagrilintide. I’m confused on how to mix it. Is it the same as tirz or does it have to be at a certain acidity?

We don't know for certain. We'll have more understanding once the details of the combined cagrisema pen come out, but it's still in trials with limited data.

If I was going to use UGL cagri, I would lower the pH and filter. But I am not comfortable using UGL cagri in general, even with these precautions.


One thing about all this weight loss is that our BMR and NEAT go down the more weight we lose. We might hit the cap on the med dosage before we hit the cap on how far down those will go. Try to reduce your calories further.

At 15mg?

Yes. Its half-life is 5 days. Approximately 2 days shorter than Semaglutide. I think it peaks at about 72 hours. There is an in depth thread about on here somewhere.

Next question, would you stack cargi or switch to Reta and try that first before stacking?

for 30lbs, I'd switch to reta. But I like reta way more anyways. If you already have lots of tirz, you can shorten your frequency to 5 days or keep upping your dose up to 30mg as long as you're not getting side effects.

I wouldn’t stack Retatrutide. My opinion on progression is to start with Semaglutide because it’s effective and cheap. Then if you must, move to Tirzepatide. Save Retatrutide for last. If you are going to stack, use Cagri. Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide are all going to hit your GLP-1 receptors individually. I think staking them is overkill. The Cagrinitide works as an Amylin analog so it stands alone and I think can generally be stacked with any of them.

I didn’t mean to stack Reta. I meant stack cargi with tirz or just switch to Reta. Thanks for the info though! Yall have been very helpful!

I would go with whatever option is more cost effective and sustainable for you. If you can stock up on Cagrilinite it’s probably better. But, it will probably suck if you stack it and then run out and aren’t able to get it for a while because of some Chinese holiday or shipping debacle. I don’t know how noticeable it is if you stack it and then go back to just the GLP-1 peptide.

this is great advice 👌🏼
