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?

Thank you for chiming, I was hoping you would. Much info I have got at this point was from you and I didn't want to depart from practices you shown drug company's recommended.

These compounds are by far the fastest, most effective weight loss drugs ever developed. They only require a small amount of patience as the body adjusts to a higher level of GLP, but it does, and by following the pharma protocol you're nearly guaranteed to be successful at getting to your ideal weight, and with a maintainance dose, staying there for a lifetime.

Right now, her digestive system is going from 100 to 30 miles per hour in an instant, so the side effects are potent. Everything else in her metabolic system needs a little time to catch up and reregulate, but it will. Future increases in dose will cause some mild effects, temporarily, but it'll never be as bad as it is now. Once she gets to her goal weight, she'll feel nothing. People in the long term studies take the same (maintainance) dose for years, and overwhelmingly don't experience any side effects.

That's the "promised land" she'll eventually reach. For most, it's around 6 months.

In a sense she's lucky to be such a good responder. Many, especially males, feel no effect until reaching 7.5mg or higher and don't lose as high of a percentage rate of overall weight. Thats a combination of males having more receptors requiring activation to regulate to a lower weight, and the person to person variation in GLP insufficiency and need more of the hormone to get to the ideal level.

Beyond all of this, GLPs are "putting money in the bank" for better long term health. Almost all organs show evidence of direct beneficial effects from GLP receptor activation. Systemic inflammation is reduced. It protects against the development. of everything from arthritis to alzheimer's and heart disease. The nervous system in particular seems to gain significantly, protecting against the ravages of oxidation and general degradation, preserving vision and cognition.

Sounds good and I will provide this as encouragement as I pass it along to here. In the meantime I have read of some things that could perhaps help, ginger chews, alka seltzer, and I believe I can get some anti nausea medication from a family member who is pregnant.

Whatever you do, don't start messing with the dose or timing.

And Metamucil. That'll help with the worst of the effects more than anything, in my opinion. It'll take a few days to start working, but for most who've tried it, they stick with that even if they stop taking GLPs. It's just natural fiber from the psyllium flower, but what it does for you in the bathroom is amazing. It corrects constipation and the opposite, making things much more pleasant while digestion is in turmoil.
