Giant Semaglutide Thread (and other GLP-1 / GIP agonists)

[Doodle]

Wanted to create a thread where everyone can post their experiences with different sourced Semaglutide.

Who are you using?
Pharma vs non?
Dosage?
How long have you been taking it?
What are your thoughts?
Have you lost weight?
Side effects?
Oral vs injection?
Tests?

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve developed an almost supernatural love for sweets. It’s honestly a little scary, especially when I walk past a cheesecake at the store. That thing starts whispering to me.

At 6mg of Reta I also noticed increased skin sensitivity and my resting heart rate crept up. In combination with HGH it’s even more noticeable. Funny enough, after adding SS-31 it seemed to drop by about 5 to 7 beats, so that was interesting.

After thinking it through, I’m considering going back to Tirz. Not sure if it’s the “right” move, but we’ll see how it feels. Overall, Reta has definitely been an interesting experiment.

The sweets are absolutely my weakness as well,
I crush a bombpop 3 times a day to keep it at bay they’re only 40 cals lol.
I noticed the skin sensitivity when I jumped up too quickly, not sure if you skipped any levels but when I jumped 6-10 I had the skin sensitivity for a few weeks then went away.

I was NEVER a fan of sweets; I'd only eat them after having eaten something savory. After Reta? I CRAVE sweet things ALL the time now.

@Ghoul sorry for the ping, I have someone she has pcos , I put her onto Reta , she is on it for 4 months she only lost 8/10kg she isn’t overweight she is at 66kg atm, she is vegetarian so her diet is low in kcal, she gets all side effects at any dosage low or high
My question is shall I stop her using Reta(she is at 10mg atm) and switch to tirz to see if is gonna work better ? Or her weight loss difficulty is due to the hormonal unbalance due to her pcos ?
Best regards

Same here

I'm surprised you got any benefit from that ss31 dose..

I’ve got a working bro science theory.

My body seems unusually sensitive to most compounds. Test, GH, pretty much anything I run shows up clearly on bloodwork. So maybe ss-31 just happens to register for me even at a lower dose.

No hard data tying it directly to heart rate. Just me observing patterns and trying to connect dots. Pure thoughts out loud.

I've been taking 0.5mg of semaglutide for 3 weeks now, and it's incredibly hard to eat. I feel like there is a rock in my stomach constantly. The only other real side effect is that I have to be very, very careful when working out. I have puked 2x already at the gym from pushing myself too hard. I'm experimenting with ways to mitigate the nausea, but eating beforehand or drinking water seems to be a no-go when working out on this stuff for me. So far, the only thing that helps is going really slow and taking long breaks between sets, and even then, I still feel uncomfortable. The upside is that I completely forget about food, but I cannot imagine eating 200g of protein on this stuff. Thank God I take testosterone or I'd lose a lot of muscle on this stuff... I can't imagine taking this long-term.

You could try zofran. My doctor lets me order some every month. They are dissolvable and act fast. I get nauseous after taking my medications in the morning.

Lower the dose?
