Was considering stocking up on more tirz, but there was a reta sale...might be a long time before I ever try it, but it's good to have, right? Oh man, I have a problem.
Ordered some Reta because it was on sale

Oh no, I would never want the headaches of that.
But in all seriousness, I've read a number of posts from people who say tirz eventually stopped working (or working as well) for them. And you just never know how difficult some of this stuff may be to get in the future.

I didn't think peptides were something one would impulse purchase 😂

reta is better in every way IMO

I first tried Ozempic about four years ago and was genuinely amazed by the results. Later, I switched to Mounjaro and used it for about three months—until my insurance stopped covering it and I was blown away by how much more effective it was for me compared to Ozempic.
After that, I participated in a year-long clinical trial with Eli Lilly for the oral version of Ozempic. Unfortunately, that experience was underwhelming. I dealt with frequent gastrointestinal side effects, and the effectiveness was maybe a 3 out of 10 for me.
Most recently, I started Reta three weeks ago with just a very small dose to begin with. I tend to be anxious with new medications, and on the first day, I did feel a bit of increased heart rate and nervousness. But since then, it’s been a complete game changer. I’ve felt like I’m on cloud nine. It strikes the perfect balance: it quiets food noise without completely killing my appetite, and it adds just enough indifference toward food to help reduce overall consumption. Most importantly, it’s had the fewest side effects of anything I’ve tried. I honestly couldn’t be happier.

I figure there's a reasonable chance I'll want to switch at some point. Even though tirz works fine for me now, I've read about benefits of cycling and I could see that being a good strategy in the future. Atm, reta seems like the only alternative that would be at least as beneficial. Also, I'd hate to stock up on nothing but tirz and then have it stop being effective 6 months from now.

Join the club! Confession here....yesterday I ordered a 3.5cu ft freezer just for my growing stockpile of research supplies. 🤦♀️😎 I have a couple of research subjects doing really well and I think this small unit will be easy to grab if I need to run into the bunker during an apocalypse.

Meh, it’s all good.
I’ve bought and sold and traded Reta, Cagri, and have Survo tucked away just because. I’m not sure why. ( FOMO? )
If you find that you are content and doing well on tirz in the future there are BST ( buy sell trade ) groups everywhere.😉
Just be sure to check the rules on whatever platform/channel you are on and do your homework so you ( hopefully ) don’t get scammed.
Good luck to you😊

This was my mindset also. ( what if tirz stops working )
Tirz continued to work though & I’ve been maintaining for a while now. I hope it continues to work for you too.☺️

Welcome to a growing group of Stashers. Or a group of growing Stashers. Anyway, my STASH IS GROWING! (Almost by the day... )😆

I've currently got a 3.1 cuft fridge/freezer combo, with the freezer part being separate, so it'll get down to -20C, but it's fairly limited in space. Been contemplating either getting a dedicated mini freezer (like yours or maybe a bit smaller) or one of those -86C devil's nut sack level cold lab freezers. Seems to be some disagreement on whether that level of cold makes a long term difference, though.
I'm going on 6 months, and 5mg every 5 days is working well. Weight is coming off slower now, but was to be expected. 10 more lbs and I'll be at my goal weight. Figure it should be easier to maintain than lose, so hopefully no issues.

I really want to keep my stash separate from my food freezer because I often run out of space and I don't want my grandkids getting curious. (sneaky little buggers!) The reviews on amazon were mixed but it advertised an upgraded compressor that seems recent. It's supposed to get to -40F and says it's good for flash freezing food. We'll see!

I always wonder about people's partners or roommates cleaning out the freezer. Could be a recipe for disaster if there's an overzealous attempt at disposal of the unwanted or unknown.
