Hello,

I am new to not just this forum but posting on a forum in general lol. So sorry in advance I am doing my best to read and learn but this is all foreign to me.

I used ozempic in the past and I did not have a good experience. I was hoping on learning about other options and if there is anyone else who went thru the bad symptoms I had with ozempic.

Also one of the reasons I wanted to join is to try to do this in the safest and have as much harm reduction as possible.

Most people that have bad experience do better with a smaller dose. But what exactly was the issue you had?

Welcome! My RS had a much better experience on a lower dose too, and moving up very, very slowly.

Im a bit embarrassed to say or it might be to much info.

But I did start with a lower dose but eventually likely due to my digestion slowing down id have extremely hard stools. To the point I got an anal fissure. It took me months to recover from it. It really sucked.


I stopped and a few months later tried taking it again with a coachs help and sure enough after some time it started happening again I quit since then.

Was hoping maybe reta or triz won't cause same issue. And yes I had plenty of fiber and protein.

Ooooo, sounds terrible! Yeah, perhaps research something different. Bless your heart!

Tirz and Reta both have lower side effect rates.

I started with tirz at 2.5mg and had all sorts of gastrointestinal issues. (I now suggest people start at 1mg to avoid this possibility)

My first 2 weeks was kinda explosive diarrhea. Followed by a few months of constipation that I needed to take fiber and magnesium supplements daily keep under control. I definitely ended up with an anal fissure while I was figuring that out. My body adjusted over time and while I still take the fiber just because I don't eat enough of it, I've dropped the magnesium.

I'm no doctor, but my own personal experience with tirz has been the opposite. I'm EXTREMELY regular (bordering on too regular 😂) while on tirz, especially the first 2ish days after injecting.
I'm currently still on the last of my brand-name tirz (been on it at least a year, maybe more) and going to be going grey soon, but that's been my experience.
