Tirzepatide shortage is over

[Fenix]

I think for a lot of people, they simply want people to put in the same amount of effort and care that they did when they started. Asking "Hey did you guys feel like triz was actually better at quieting food noise" is a lot different from asking about "bacteria water" for the 10th time today. As for a FAQ I personally like the idea but can see how that would open the site up to more liability and scrutiny.

I do hope those that stay are able to get what they need out of sites like these though and are able to be healthier and happier as a result.

agree with you

I'm a relatively new user as well. I think most of the frustration lies in the fact that a lot of these new new members immediately jump in here and the first thing they do is create a new post for a topic that has been discussed in depth without even trying to do a simple search. This is the case across all platforms though. However, I'm definitely seeing more of it on this platform over the last week or two.

Perhaps a FAQ does need to be created that includes how to perform a simple search and new users posts are subject to mod approval until they have read and acknowledged the FAQ. I don't know what the admin side of a forum looks like, so I'm not sure what the logistics of implementing these types of restrictions are. That does feel kind of like babying the new people though, which I feel like isn't the way things were envisioned when this forum was created.

Yes, everyone is new at some point and there is a lot of info to learn, but I don't think theres anything wrong with expecting people to actually *try* and do their due diligence. Look at how many Amo posts have been created in the last 2 weeks. All over the same topic. It makes navigating the site more difficult when you have to look at 5 different posts for the same topic because people couldn't be bothered to do a simple search. Those are the types of new users that I feel are getting the most negativity.

Some of this is usually handled by moderators. Some of this is the nature of the population this forum attracts (nervous and looking for a trustworthy source online)

So far as "pharma" Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), there may have been a shortage but I hope people realize there is no shortage if you buy UGLs.

There's a substantial number of long-standing, safe, effective sources that sell Tirzepatide single vial or kits. I could list 8-10 sources I have used, 100mg kits cost $120-$300 depending if the source is domestic or international. I have (5) 300mg kits that cost $230 each… some folks are paying what I paid, they're buying one 15mg pen… I've never had a bad experience using UGLs (my experience ONLY).

Obviously do your research so far as the source(s) here or on other boards… but so far as getting Semaglutide or Retatrutide or Tirzepatide or Cagrilintide, super easy.

But definitely no shortage unless you're dead set on overpriced Pharma Pens.

I'm going to make an extensive how-to guide post that's based of my experience/opinion/way of doing things, soon stay tuned!

Can't wait.

This type reddit post probably solves 40%+ of the FAQ of new users.

Granted, I don't know if this forum can be as cookie cutter as the post. But steps are useful. hell, even linking to this page

First...screw Reddit. Just stop going there for this. Unjoin the peptides forums you're on.

Second... that post is for filtering. I've seen discussion on it here. But I'm not sold. I don't use alcohol swabs and I've never had so much as a slight reaction to any of my injections.

And it adds to the cost significantly. Cheaper to just get a round of antibiotics if you ever get a site infection. At least those are covered by insurance.

And that guy is selling filters too. So what's his motivation?

 

[Fenix]

Anyway, thanks for the replies. I have a 3 wk old and realize my original comment may have been more rude than intended. Looking forward to learning from ya'll - i'll be sure to send DMs when I need a source for bacteria water

oh btw someone just asked me a nonsensical question on another thread without searching. i'm onboard with you guys now we need to make this forum invite only. these newbs are ruining the place

Please don’t tell newbies that.😱🫣 Yikes! I mean…to each their own but don’t encourage that.

It's going to be more of what I do and what I think is best, it will be informative but very opinion oriented.

Anyway, I have to write that first aha

Please tell me that your way of doing things includes using alcohol swabs.🙏🏻

I know isopropyl alcohol is a poor disinfectant. I still swab my wife when I inject her if that helps.

But let's be intellectually honest. My syringes aren't stored in an airtight container. I keep my meds in the refrigerator. This is the same fridge that sadly could probably use a good cleaning after the numerous foamy heads of lettuce, milk spillage, etc. Granted my vials are in a cardboard box next to the butter.

Then my skin... It's not clean. Wiping with alcohol isn't killing the germs you should worry about on that very very small pinpoint of skin that is pierced by the needle.

Having said that... I dropped an unused uncapped needle on the floor. I discarded it.

It's a calculated risk. And the consequence is relatively low.

I'd feel better with a chlorhexidine or iodine wipe than I would with isopropyl wipes. 😛 😛 😛

Make sure your wife has life insurance on you.😜

at the moment it hasn’t become overrun by repetitive “how do I add water to the vial” questions, so we are standing by to see what happens and will sort out how to address it.

This forum has become an opiod clinic. Very few new members are here for the info, they want access to the vendor spreadsheet and contact info.

The instructions on Reddit by a forum member here is to 1. Join glp1forum and 2. Find the vendor spreadsheet. 3. Link to peptidetest website to buy bac and filters 4. peptidetest filtering videos. 5. Link to Amopure.net

This isn’t the Dummies guide to harm reduction.

I think people would be genuinely shocked if they saw or were aware of the ways in which this world is trying to decompose you.

Your immune system is a wonderful thing. I'd be a germophobe if I thought about it too much.

Oh that’s all true. Our immune systems need building. But let’s encourage harm reduction by encouraging safe practices.

I bet you ate your boogers as a kid. Well I did too. But there are best practices for harm reduction; whether or not I truly need to follow them, I do.

Amo is about to experience a surge of customers....

I deleted my original post because I took a cheap shot at geoguy78 . I want to apologize to him for my snarky comment.

As a forum, we are better together.

I never did. But I understand that is linked to a healthy immune system in kids. My daughter did though. I think she got that from her mom. 😛

Practices are fine... everyone's risk tolerance is different. I hate to bust out my intellectual honesty card again. But safe practices include not injecting yourself with research chemicals.

I am kind of interested to see if this causes vendors to lower or raise their prices. Also kind of curious if this many people looking at them will get them unwanted attention from their government but I haven't been involved long enough to know if that's something they even care about.

 

[geoguy78]

A sure way to confirm who is doing this on Reddit is to check post reactions for the person who left “laughing” emoji.

Hey now!

These shady folks? Prices are gonna go up due to "unprecedented demand"

I am most upset by the prospect of foamy lettuce. How?! Why?! 😩

Oh don't get me started on food waste. I'm not sure how it happens. My wife loves to cook.

Last incident was the homemade hummus. I accidently tasted it... there was a layer of something uniformly growing on it nearly the same color as hummus. I didn't think it looked quite right but it's homemade so I thought maybe it's a little lighter than the store bought. Nope.

Or the milk that leaked on the shelf. I mean I sopped it up.. the bulk of it. It's probably fine. Pretend it didn't happen.

 

[noteablequotable]

I've been trying to help out over there a bit because some of the info is lacking or at the very least a little too authoritative. But I'm about to just delete my posts because I'm sick and tired of all the PMs I'm getting asking me to spoon feed vendors. I'm all about pointing people towards harm reduction and preventing catastrophes, but I'm not recommending vendors

I think I have a screw loose because I was asking questions on Reddit and someone sent me a PM offering to add me to a discord where they were doing group buys and I said no, lol 🤣

I'm thinking about reaching out to say I changed my mind just because I'm curious about what's going on over there.

I would thoroughly vet your group buy coordinator before you decide to do that.

The large influx of new members due to recent compounded Tirzepatide rug pull is an excellent opportunity for scammers to take advantage of the inexperienced.

Okay if the shortage is over do I guy more a ton more Tz? 😅
