Starting Tirzepatide tomorrow at 2.5mg with Keto/Carnivore diet. What to expect feeling and side effect wise?

I think growth hormone and it’s various secretagogues can counteract or at least lessen some of the effects of GLP1 meds due to their (HGH) increase in ghrelin. Ghrelin is often thought of as the hunger hormone. Someone feel free to chime in and correct me if I’m mistaken

rHGH will not affect ghrelin, some secretagogues will, whether or not the ghrelin increase will counteract the effects or semaglutide or tirzepatide will probably depend on your dosage.

Ive been running Semaglutide from OxygenPharm for 3 weeks now. I started at 0.25 mg SubQ, then 0.5 mg week 2, now 0.75 mg week 3 and will be injecting 1 mg tomorrow.
I noticed mild nausea for the first 2 days, but that was quite mild (compared to slightly too much Melanotan-II). Since that, Ive noticed no adverse side effects.
One thing to be cognizant of is that your blood sugar will drop slightly, based on your individual response to this GLP-1. As I take short acting insulin on my training days, Ive noticed my postworkout glucose levels drop to near hypo levels, so Im aware and sure to have glucose on hand if necessary. Ive found my insulin sensitivity to increase slightly as well which is good.
Appetite-wise Im barely hungry, and when I start to eat, I feel satiated after eating 1/2 to 3/4 of what Id usually eat. I cant over eat, binge eat... and when I smoke weed at night I used to get insatiable munchies. Now I eat a few handfuls of junk food and Im content, which is huge for me as thats the main time where I can over eat.
Ive lost a few lbs in the 3 weeks (around 5), but drastic fatloss wasnt my goal as Im around 255 and 15% body fat. Im just experimenting with this new compound to find my ideal dose where I can control cravings year around... maybe 1 mg/week Im thinking.
Semaglutide is surprisingly hard to source in Canada without a script (Ozempic, Weygovy or Rybelsus-oral). My buddy got one after 2 years, and the cost for his Ozempic is over $300 for 1x 2mg pen. So the 5 mg I paid $160 for is not as much as a rip off as I dont have coverage here in Canada.
I will keep you updated as I keep rolling with Semaglutide, another tool in my tool box, and so far I like it over other fatloss drugs that are dopaminergic or stimulants.

Nausea is the big one, though I’ve never experienced it and it seems to be way less prevalent in the general population of current users than it was in the trials.
Both Sema and Tirza make me feel weird for about 10-12 hours after injection. So I have found that taking around 5pm is ideal so I wake up feeling normal next day.
The only other side effect I found is mild heartburn.
I have 5mg Mounjaro pens. Is there a way to split the dose into 2.5mg or can I go straight into 5?
Im trying to start tmrw but my pens are 5mg instead of 2.5mg. Can I jump right into 5? As I am not sure how to split the dose the way you can with ozempic
Not sure. I’ve only used generic. I forgot to mention that these glp-1 drugs make me cold as hell. Like freezing. I forgot about that and it’s the worst side effect imo.

Have you sent it in for a lab test? Or did they?

Post #1028 might interest you.
In regards to post #1028. You can actually remove the back end of the pen as well.
When you remove the back you'll get down to a green shaft with the medicine and a needle. You can then just take that and inject it into a sterile vial like you would with any other syringe.

Can one do 0.25mg ozempic then 2.5mg mounjaro 5 days later
Yep, definitely easier to just use the pen as intended
What dose of sema were you taking and how much mounjaro are you now using?

Max dose 2.4mg and I'm on 0.5mg of mounjaro
I had sides through all of ozempic. But it's expected normal sides. Just annoying
