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?

Can men get scripts from hello alpha? It looks like it’s only geared towards women.

Awesome. Glad you were able to get it.

Doesn’t make sense to pay $130 a month from QSC when you can get pharma for $25 for almost an entire year.

After that, QSC all day because pharma will be $1100 a month though.

So with the savings card.

Either A. Insurance will cover it

Or B(most likely). Will be denied and you can get a monthly dose for 25 up to a year.

Not everyone has insurance so that can be an issue

Frost hammer caught my fuckup. Don't get the membership. Doesn't cover weight loss treatment..

I think it's technically 300 for a whole year . 25 a month?

 

[Rido]

One issue I see with the auto injector it's a one time use. I may have to transfer it to another vial of I want to have starting doses in the future.

Oh yea, meant to say $25 a month lol. Either way, still better to pay 20% of even QSCs price for pharma.

Yea, I fucked up my first autoinjector. Too used to manual pinning and was trying to figure out how to expose the needle and find the plunger haha

I got my practitioner through hello alpha to ask if I wanted him to prescribe me mounjaro. I said yes but don’t want to pay $1500/month and asked if he had any Lilly coupons or incentives. Haven’t heard back. That was like 6 hours ago.

You get denied from your insurance but the copay card would.

But isn’t it like 30 dollars a 5mg vial? You get 10 vials which is about 1-2 injections right? I paid about 300 dollars including shipping. I plan to use 2.5mg so that’s 20 doses which seems like a lot (half a year). So they are pretty comparable in price right?

There is a dose escalation all the way up to 15mg a week ..

Are you talking about ozempic?


Also if it is QSC vials, I would say 2.5mg of their vials feels like 1mg of ozempic

2.5 of tirzepitide feels like 1 of sema?

2.5 of qsc semaglutide feels like 1mg of ozempic.

 

[HB_22]

2.5 of qsc semaglutide feels like 1mg of ozempic.

I can not confirm this. I dont feel that much of a difference. The 2mg kits is probably as slightly underdosed as the 5mg kit was (~20% less).

You’re right! I forgot about the higher doses. Thanks!

Get your prescription from hello alpha. $30 to get the prescription, all text based, and takes a couple of hours.

Good looking out man. Can confirm - super easy. I appreciate the tip.
