New to grey. About to do first dose and im scared!

Why would one buy from Polaris or Skye? I am trying to understand this. My local compounding pharmacy charges $413 for a month's supply of 15mg Tirzepatide. Polaris is $459/month.

I thought that compounding pharmacies are no longer legally permitted to produce tirzepatide?

That lasted a whole of about a week

Hey now, I think it was 6 days.

Novo just filed a very extensive letter and presentation with the FDA. My guess is that once a decision is made by the FDA, going forward, no compounding will be allowed of any weight loss/diabetes peptide even if there is a shortage.

The compounding pharmacy lawyers are going to fight that one hard. Obviously Novo can't come up with a way to end the Ozempic/Wegovy shortage, so they are making the flimsy argument that compounded versions are dangerous. That's going to be a very high bar to pass when there's several years of compounding that's happened already.

Unfortunately, regardless of political affiliation, about 2/3 of American politicians are on the pharma payroll. Don't expect any one of them to support us in this issue.

You know what helped my nerves was reading at Meso RX forum. The forum for bodybuilders. They will literally inject anything and everything, sketchy stuff I wouldn't even consider. And most of them are fine, physically anyway.

I know this is old and maybe it's poor form to make a silly comment?

I just wanted to say, I really liked the day or so I spent with those MesoRX guys, they opened my eyes a lot and I wasn't feeling like I was trying to read code. But, they sure do talk about boobies!

I came in like that. Bought my tirz, stashed it in the freezer, joined a discord chat and read every word anyone said about them for weeks. Earmarked money for my OWN testing. Have a year's stockpile from the compound pharma so I have plenty of time to think about my risk tolerance. Ordered the filters and pens and am waiting for them to come.

Then I bought a kit of Klow off a place with good reviews, reconned it with three 1ml syringes ful of bac water, cause the larger ones aren't here yet, and just started injecting blue mystery water because of fuck it, the world's on fire and I grew up swimming in lake Michigan, drunk, at 1am and lived to tell the tale, it's all relative.

Don't be like me, but the nerves subside.

I've been on rx tirz since March. Lost 45 pounds. Cannot afford to keep paying $550/month but I'm still needing to lose 15-20 more pounds plus I'm probably going to need this med for life.

I received my package from china yesterday. I'm reading everything I can, trying to gain as much knowledge as I can... I'm about to give myself my first injection and I'm terrified. I'm thinking "what am I DOING?? I'm about to inject myself with some unknown powder from CHINA?!" I got my package from amo. From the research I've done here and reddit, it's a decent company. It's just the idea of doing this, putting something unknown into my body, who knows what it could really be? No I did not send for testing. I don't have time to. I will likely send a vial for testing in the next week or so, but for now I just need my dose. I'm almost a week out from my last dose. Sorry for sounding hysterical, I'm not quite. I am just wondering, am I crazy for doing this?? Did you feel the same way when you first started grey? Thanks for any thoughts.

#1 - Its not an unknown substance you know what you ordered.
#2 - You put your trust in a different group of strangers when you took the other shot.
#3 - Most drugs sold in the US are manufactured in China and India.

DOH! Once again, I answered an old post like it was new. I really got to start looking at the dates.

Yeah .. Their prices would be fine if you were buying a kit of 10 vials .. but it seems they sell by the vial. Just no.
