Well.. i've seen the cautionary tales about dosage

So I'm starting cag at 0.1mg 🤣

Feeling increasingly hungry on reta so lets see what cag does. I'll be monitoring my blood sugar with my continuous glucose monitor since cag seems to lower blood sugar.

I have some cagril on hand for future consideration, but that dose sounds like about how I imagine immagunna start with it 👍 😎

Same, have some on hand but haven't used it yet, will be interested in your experience

Yes. Thank you for doing your homework. Also of you are on a GLP1 like Retatrutide you may want to drop your current dose (slightly) 250mcg-500mcg would be enough. 100mcg is a perfect starting dose for Cagrilintide. Remember you can add more in a few days, but you can't undo a dose that was too high, you would just have to ride it out in misery.

Maybe I have some low-octane Cagrilintide?

I had lost about 40 lbs on Tirz; starting at 3mg/6D and ramping up to 10mg/6D over a 4 month period.

4 months into this, I stalled. Gave it 4 weeks, then I added Cag at 500mcg/6D, stacked with the Tirz 10mg/6D and Reta 1mg/6D. Each staggered 2 days.

Minimal improvement after 8 weeks. Maybe down 3 or 4 lb. Raised the Cag to 1mg/6D, Reta to 2mg/6D. That netted a 7lb weight loss, then another stall.

After 4 more weeks, raised Tirz to 12/6D, Cag to 2mg/6D, Reta to 4mg/6D. Just beginning to see movement again at the end of week 1 at this dose.

Almost 8 mo's later, I'm about 10lbs from goal weight which is <30 BMI. I was exactly 40.0 BMI when I first began this Tirz adventure. Cagrilintide does appear to be a tool, but I haven't found it to be the end-all-be-all others have claimed.

After 3 days, didn't feel any extra appetite suppression so far. Appetite seems to be the same so i'll probably titrate up rather than waiting a week to do it.

I'd go up REAL slow. There's a lot of peptides where you can go from 100 to 250 to 500 to 1000 pretty quickly; Cagri is not one of them - it's total nuke and insanely unforgiving. I started with 200mcg, and that went fine, then I idiotically thought hey why not just jump to 500mcg, and I've never had worse gastrointestinal misery in my life, including eating a bad corndog at the county fair and having the worst food poisoning of my life (ok fine the corndog was worse, but this was still quite terrible). Two days of pure misery, projectile vomiting and awful diarrhea, then a third day of intense queasiness - the good news is I dropped like 6 lbs.

Even dumber, at the time I had realize I went up too high on my reta mgs (started a new 30mg vial, but thought it was still the 10mg), so I thought it might have been the higher reta dose that was the culprit. Thinking the last 500 mcg cagri dose might have gotten me more accustomed to it, i lowered the reta dose and gave 500mcg cagri the ol college try again! Well..idiot alert! SAME RESULTS! Three days of the worst GI misery of my life-2.0 (dropped a few more lbs though!). I'm going down to 100mcg, and keeping it there for a week or more, them 200 for a few weeks, then maybe 300. I am terrified.

Thanks, yes I will, might just add another 100mcg and then do 200 next week
