TIFU by….

Holy smokes. I’m pretty sure I have od’d myself on Sema. I have used tirz and ipa for quite awhile, but haven’t lost any weight for about 5 months, just keep adding/losing the same 5lbs.

Took matters into my own hands and ordered sema 10mg, mixed it up and took a dose.

Now here’s where I have confused myself: If it was a 10mg bottle of powder and I added 1 ml water, my brain says you have 100 units, pull out 12.5 (I wanted to start with half of a normal starting dose and move up) and inject. I wasn’t supposed to start that high, was I? Mentally preparing for a rough few days, but also….what should my starting dose be with the sema I compounded? 2.5mcg seems waaaay to small of a dose!

If the data you’re reporting is right, you took 1.25 mg of Semaglutide. Pretty high to start off with but not as scary as when I originally read the message.

I take .125 doses, which is half the starting dose for sema. I usually do 2ml bac in 5mg vials to make it easier to measure since the dose is so small. In a ten mg vial I would have used 3ml, or if the vial is big enough 4ml. 3ml would have given you a dose size of just under 4 units. 4ml would give you a dose of 5 units which is much easier to measure.

You gave yourself 10x what you intended. Keep your blood sugar and fluids up- drink Gatorade, suck on some hard candies until it passes. Add some benefiber to the Gatorade.

I think you may have mistaken the doses used for tirz with what's used for sema.

I did mistake the dosages…I don’t know what I was thinking, but that’s exactly what I did. It wasn’t until I was reading through one of the other posts on here that I realized what I had done. What a day.

I’ve already got the sulfur burps…dear lord!

i took 2mg as my first semi dose. i had hiccups for 10 days.

If I were you, I would add an additional 2ml of bac water. That will make your intended dose, of 0.125mg, 4u which is a bit easier to measure.

I'd wait quite a while before taking another dose, personally, but for the future, when you're ready to try again.

I was actually thinking to do that. Or start over with another bottle for now.

Oof. That had to be miserable. These burps are already killing me, but at least my whole body won’t be sore from hiccuping!

Either works. I did the math in the interest of saving your remaining 8.75mg of product.

Edit: I'd also add to check your test results if you have them. Vials often have extra product, so you may have dosed even higher than you think.

I think you are probably going to be in for a rough week. You'll live though! You just learned the hard lesson of measure twice, pin once. I am sure most of us have done it to some degree but Sema is not a good one to titrate quickly.

You didn't mention what dose of Tirz you are on but if you're stacking you might want to hold off on your next Tirz dose while you ride this out. Good luck!

I’ve been taking 5mg of tirz every Wednesday and Sunday, I skipped todays dose to try the sema. We are actually leaving Wednesday for Vegas so I’m going to skip that dose too.

You were thinking of the starting dose of Tirz, which is 2.5, and halving that, for 1.25.

Starting dose of Sema is only .25, so you quintupled it.

Nice catch YoYo, I think the rest of us missed that. I thought since he was stacking he was intentionally planning to start at 1.25 which is like half of the max dose (I think).

OP - Keep us updated with how your week progresses. Hopefully, you will be up for your trip to Vegas.
