It’s been mentioned many times already - pharma Tirz (like Mounjaro) hits way harder than any UGL version. What you’re describing lines up perfectly. A 15mg pharma dose can easily feel like 20mg or more from a UGL source.Strange experiemce with Stan’s Tirzepatide.
For a year I was using Elli Lily’s mounjaro building up to 15mg shots for the last 2 months. It got too expensive so I switched to Stan’s Tirzepatide also doing 15mg shots but the difference is noticeable
Mounjaro: lasts me 5-6 days of extreme appetite suppression where I dont think of food at all and after eating a small meal have zero desire to eat again
Tirz: lasts me 3 days max of appetite suppression but I still think about food and can eat more later in the day
There are a few ways you can approach this:
1. One option is to add Cagrilintide, an amylin analog that also helps suppress appetite and pairs well with GLP-1s.
2. Some people have started using Reta instead, since it has a triple action and can feel much stronger.
3. Others combine a lower dose of Tirz with Reta to get a stronger effect, but that’s more experimental.
At the end of the day, though, you can’t rely on the drug alone. Sure, pharma made things feel effortless, but real progress comes from learning to control your appetite even when it’s tough. That’s the real win.
