Are the compounds still available or not?

Where are you ordering from?

Where do you order from and how do you know what dose to start with?

Don’t these stockpiles expire after a few weeks? Do the compounders give long expiration dates?

It seems microdosing is the new Hollywood trend. Can you please share how to microdose tirz? Frequency and quantity?

This is a nice little article. Thank you! I really relate to what it talks about: that weight loss is not the only benefit of this drug. My skin, at 47 years old, looks glowing and poreless since I've been on this drug. I've attributed that to the fact that I'm eating so much better, with so much less junk food (sugar specifically) and more healthier foods, and I've also been sleeping better - I also attributed that to my healthier diet. But maybe there's something to be said for less inflammation that's giving my skin that glow.

I've been taking tirzepatide for 12 weeks now and have lost 15 pounds. I started at 22.8 BMI and am now at 20.4. I feel so much better, my clothes fit again, and I am happy looking in the mirror. I started at the introductory dose, 2.5, and have stayed on that. This article specifically says "Rather than injecting the regular introductory weekly dose, people are only taking half that amount or less." I didn't know about microdosing when I started, or I probably would have tried it. From here I'd like to still drop 3-5 more lbs and then taper down my dose - to what I'm not sure exactly. Probably drop .5 per week and stay at 1 if I'm still feeling the effects (i.e., feeling full after a reasonably sized meal instead of needing to stuff my face with abandon before I get that satisfied feeling). Honestly, my life is so much better, my habits are so much healthier (no more binge eating, exercising with energy and pleasure, sleeping better) that I may take this med forevermore.

My compound has an early 2026 expiration date. I believe the compounds have preservatives that allow them to last longer.

I got it through a med spa and then through an online pharmacy. I don't believe anyone is selling compounded tirz anymore because the FDA declared the shortage over, thus now you must get the brand name Zepbound. Ro is one online provider which offers it through Lilly Direct.

The injections are easy and painless. The needle is tiny. Sometimes DH gives it to me in the back of my arm, and sometimes I squeeze a little belly fat and inject it there. I barely feel it.

I just got a 6 month supply of 5mg (which is more like a 9 month supply for me) from Fifty410. Not sure if you have to be a current client b/c they are selling off stockpile, but easy to check on their site.

If you use a high dose, do you lose weight faster?

I this is great it is working for you. On the other extreme, I am taking half the starting dose and i am sick to my stomach and have major insomnia. BUT, I believe in the magic and will split the dose again next week to hit the happy place.

But if they don’t - can you imagine the Oscars next year? They are going to look like a reunion special for The Whale.

There is no way around the restriction. Some compounders made noise for awhile about adding vitamins to make it "different" but they knew full well that wouldn't fly legally, they just thought they might gain a few months of sales making that argument. They've all dropped it.

Not sure why on earth you think Hollywood stars would suddenly gain weight; I'm sure they have access to branded medication.

All those actresses who went from 120 lb to 100 lbs over the last few years are taking legitimate medication prescribed for diabetes from a legit doctor? All the dudes who went from 175 to 155? Seems unlikely.

Define “legit MD”? Someone is giving Elmo Katakine. Someone gave it to Matthew Perry. Any health care providers can find something non pristine in bloodwork and justify it. And concierge MDs will comply.

So many threads on this. So much all over the internet. Just look it up.

The short of it is: patent law. Wegovy is on patent. Compounded semaglutide was only allowed during a shortage. No shortage, no compounding. Compounding is basically pharmacies making their own generic. You can't sell generic medications until the branded medication's patent expires. Unless there is a shortage, at which point exceptions can be made. But there is no longer a shortage.

I understand the gist of what’s happening. I’m asking about a rule or reg that was issued or expired or what’s happening legally and when?

The “rule or reg” is patent law.

But more specifically, the law allows for compounding when there is a shortage.

No, it’s actually not patent law, it’s FDA law.

lol.

Wow, y’all are setting new records for idiocy on this thread. Which is saying a lot at DCUM.

How do you know what dose to start with? Are you joking? Clearly the Doctor who prescribes it to you is the one who will determine this and discuss it with you. Just like with any other medication. You don’t go dosing it yourself.
