Soooo currently on 7.5mg tirzepatide, wanted to ask, do people also take Cagri with it? What's your experience been?
Thinking of adding Cagri alongside my Tirz, what's your experience?

Ahhh amazing!! It helps with suppression right? Do people use it as a filler inbetween doses? Curious to see...

curious.... why wouldn't you just go up on your triz dose if you want more appetite suppression while on such a low dose VS adding cagri? I could see if you were adding cargri if you were on a higher dose of triz. am I missing something?

If you take cag at 0.5mg, it'll hit you like a TRUCK.
But your body will gain a tolerance faster than taking tirz and/or reta, at least in my experience.
Max dose for cag is 5mg alone and 2.4mg with other GLP's.
Cag lasts 5 days. Tirz is up to 6 days and Reta up to 7 days.
It would make sense to do Tirz until max dose at 15mg, then switch or take along with, cag/reta/teso/or other "tides" to help assist.

Ayyyyye, I don't see anything wrong with OP's thoughts or your opinion. To each his own? 🤷♂️

I used it for about 2 months so I could stay at 6 mg Tirz until goal, and it worked great for me 👍 The hitting you like a truck thing is exactly how I feel about it. I think I got up to 1 mg Cag but was at .6 mg for most of the 2 months.

This is something I'm considering, my day two symptoms are what put me off increasing. I get awful headaches and fatigued... I've not yet committed to adding cargi just wanted to get more information...
Stalled at about 52lbs lost in 6 months, been in a pretty narrow range for almost a month. 22% weight loss, from a BMI of 40 to a BMI of 30. Pretty normal point for people to stall on Tirz, I understand, having looked at the graphs.
I'm up to 10mg/6d of Tirz, and I don't want to increase any further due to the tinnitus and allodynia (prickly skin feeling). (anyone ever think tinnitus and allodynia are the same thing, acting on different parts of the body? I do!)
I added in low dose Reta (1mg/6d), and Cagrilintide (250mcg/6d). These are staggered on day 2 and day 4 respectively. No noticeable effect at those dosages.
Felt I needed to stop the Reta for an employment physical (heart rate elevated). Paused for 3 wks.
At week 4 I upped Cag to 500mcg/6d. No noticeable effect.
Now at week 8, I upped Reta to 2mg/6d, and Cagrilintide to 1mg/6d. (As in just 3 days ago).
Too soon for an honest eval but initial results seem good.

This is what I might be considering as Im worried increasing my Tirz will give me more side effects... Did you have any side effects from the Cagi?

I didn’t have any bad sides from Cagri, maybe from starting so cautiously. I just knew I didn’t want sides lol. I started so so low, like .2 mg. For the feels side of it, it just made eating feel like a chore. The only bad thing about it was the difficulty I had hitting my protein goal.

I am at 2.4mg of Cagri and 8mg of Reta. It took about 9 months to find the right mix to lose a couple pounds a week. If I take more Reta, I get the Allodynia. So, I backed down the Reta to a point with no side effects and titrated up the Cagri over several months until I got the right amount of appetite control.

Not that I'm aware of, no. But when I took Cag, I also took Tirz 10mg around the same time. However, what I do know is Tirz 10mg for me is on the weaker side. Cag def made a huge difference.

Not true Cagri has a 7.5 day half life, tirz 5 days and reta 6.5 days,

Honestly I don't have an opinion yet, that is why I said I was curious. I am type 2 diabetic and down 90 lbs since I have started with about 10 lbs to go to my original goal weight (subject to change once I get there). Was thinking about supplementing triz with Cag as well. however I am at 15 mg and trying to decide to up my dose or add cag.

If you only have 10# to go. Why bother with adding something else. You might lose that 10 by the time it arrives. Unless your current protocol has stalled so much that you are gaining.

If you're gonna start, which it honestly doesn't seem like you need to, start at no higher than .125mg for a few doses bec that will hit you like a truck.

The other option to adding in cagri is split your doses as the worst side effects you describe as happening on day 2. I assume this is one day after the dose of tirz? That would correspond exactly to peak blood levels of the drug and is usually when side effects are worst as it takes about 24 hours for a dose to be absorbed and hit peak levels. Highly recommend looking at glp plotter to see this in graph form. Usually half the dose twice as often will work just as well and reduce side effects that are at their worst the day or 2 after a dose, and can allow you to increase the overall weekly dose if needed without worse side effects.
If you do add in cagri , use low doses like 0.25mg and increase slowly. It does have pretty high rates of nausea and fatigue, especially at higher doses, and a lot of people on this forum seem to use it at low doses of 0.25 to 1mg a week as an add on to reta or tirz with useful extra appetite reduction.
