Compounded glp-1s are not the same thing

Same! Went from 135 to 125 in 3 weeks. Now ready to stop

Compounded is an amazing product! It gets a bad wrap because there are some mediocre actors out there, but there are plenty of bad actors in the big Pharma seen as well. Remember that big Pharma has invested interest in selling you as much of the product as you can. That’s why you have so many people who get sick off of glp 1s. I have moved up from 2.5 to 3 to 3.5 versus a regular trajectory that would’ve had me move up from 2.5 to 5 to 7.5 all the way up to 15. I could’ve gotten so sick doing that! Compounded medication equals freedom and it has this place in the American landscape. I’ve been taking compounded tirzepatide, last a bunch of weight and I’m doing great. Very few side effects. It’s amazing.

I use compounded semaglutide and it's fulfilled by Hallandale Pharmacy. I'm down 18 lbs and am only at 1 mg dose each week. I really think that compounded is the way to go, less side effects because you can stay at a low dose as long as it's working, and with the insurance changes for next year, it's probably going to work out cheaper as well.

That’s amazing! So happy for you. Low dose GLP1s and massive diet/lifestyle changes are the way to go.

I’ve been on a compounded semaglutide for about 6 weeks and for the past 3 I’ve been so nauseous I can hardly eat. I’m not craving food, but I’m thinking about it all the time because I’m worried I’m not getting enough. I haven’t moved up from the starter dose and think I’m going to lower it next week.

Did anyone have bad nausea that ended up resolving? I’m sick of feeling sick.

Seriously switch to tirzepatide. I think it’s a much better medication and I have not had many side effects. Start out low and slow and see how it goes!! And be super mindful about hydration with electrolytes, consume 130 G protein daily and your nausea will resolve.

I figured I'd save some money finally since insurance didn't cover. But I knew something was off because despite the equivelent dose I had 0 symptoms and then had my blood work tested and blood sugar was higher, both a1c and fasting. 0 appetite suppression, 0 symptoms both negative or positive. I feel like such a fool because I ordered a three month supply and spent $1000. I really think these sites are all a little scammy because they won't even tell me the exact pharmacy it came from or if it's 503b. Anyway, just wanted to share. I know others have had positive experiences.


I had a similar experience then went to a local medical practice and got compounded Tirz and it works great
