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?

There are people here that would have no problem pointing me in the right direction

Use the search function.

Use the search function.

Apparently thats not applicable to him, he needs information to be downloaded straight to his brain ala “the matrix” lol

Mind if I ask how fat you guys are using this drug? I assume a lot of you are in contest prep?

Most competitive guys would not use glp1s because it’s still unproven in contest prep setting, there is also the fact that some guys who did have had trouble recovering their gastric emptying even after cessation which is troublesome on a growth phase.

This drug is usually widely used by fatties who do not have discipline to choose the right foods to eat and diabetics.

Here in Meso, it’s a mix or everyone, the old crowd dabble with it out of curiosity and then the rest are the newer members who came from reddit or Facebook just because of glps.

Great, looks like youre going to follow my comments around and look for any excuse to be snarky because I offended you somewhere by having a difference in opinion on steroids.

You could have just not replied, and let someone else contribute to the discussion in a thread we are reviving, not only that, but new research comes out on these GLPs weekly.
There are people here that would have no problem pointing me in the right direction or sharing their experience, thats pretty much the whole point of a forum

Lol. Yea, I "follow you" on the forum. I've been frequenting this thread for a long time now. Good luck looking for the handout. Don't worry, generally speaking, I could not care less about the vast majority of your postings. The advice I gave you is the absolute best advice and valuable in my opinion. If someone is incapable or unwilling to search out basic and readily available information on a compound then I don't think they are responsible enough to administer that compound without medical guidance. Sorry if that opinion hurts your feelings but IMO that is the truth. Part of harm reduction is not promoting people to do things they are not equipped or prepared to do on their own.

The modern weight loss drugs covered in this thread have a large amount of excellent information easily available. Good luck and don't let your ego get ahead of educating yourself and doing things wisely.

I use it as a insulin potentiator due to HGH usage. I don't like metformin and I won't use insulin so it's the next best thing

An outside observer reading this thread would probably come to the conclusion that GLP1-s make people mad as shit, lol. Much more so than halo or tren.

someone asking for advice shouldn't make you this upset ,
Re-evaluate yourself, check your estrogen, talk to someone

Which is why I will put this on unwatch.

I’m going from 15mg a week of Tirzepatide to Retatrutide next week. What dose should I start with? I’ve used Sema and Tirz before but not Reta.

From what I have read about switiching, most people start at 2mg reta and then titrate down the tirz slowly.

Keep an eye on your rhr.

I see. But I’m out of Tirzepatide about a week before the Reta arrives. So I won’t be able to titrate the Tirz slowly. You think it will matter much?

What would cause site injection reaction in 5mg vs 10mg? Both were mixed with the same bac water. Friend was splitting 5mg vial into 2 doses and got injection site reaction (redness, itchy etc) and now has moved up to 5mg a week and splitting a 10mg vial into 2 doses and doesn’t get any reaction? Both are mixed with 1ml hospira bac water.

Could be a reaction to the filler. Don’t know who you ordered from, but for example QSC used a different filler for the 5mg Tirz than they did for other concentrations after 2023.

It was QSC. 10mg kit and a 5mg kit. Both bought mid June this year. That’s kind of what I was thinking.

@Doodle any updates on the Maz?

Yeah somewhere in the QSC thread, someone had a similar issue recently. Tracy replied that the 5mg specifically had a different filler than current batches. QSC is still going through the 5mg from last year since it hasn’t sold out yet. I don’t remember if the reaction was to the current batches or the 5 though.

I started on 4 mg reta just fine.

Since we'll likely never know all the factors that could've caused the site reaction to the previous Tirz batch and not the current one thwy're using, I'll mention it's been observed that injecting cold is far more likely to cause a reaction than allowing 20-30 minutes for it to warm to room temp first. I've found this to be the case even with Zepbound pens.

Interesting. I will let them know.
