You are taking an unofficial version of the drug from a drug compounder, she is taking the official version from Eli Lilly. What you are doing COULD be dangerous because you don't quite know exactly what they are doing. That being said lots of people are doing what you are doing precisely because of the cost and I haven't really heard any horror stories.

It probably explains why you were getting sick on higher doses though, the dosages may not be quite right from this Pomegranate place.

I'm paying less for my Tirzepatide though, I did a 6 month plan for $700 from a website called pomegranate health on the recommendation of a friend. I was supposed to do a month at 2, then a month at 4, then 6, then 3 months at 7.5. I had no issues at 2 or 4, but when I went to 6 I felt sick as shit for days. I genuinely thought I caught something. Same thing happened the next week when I did it again. I dropped to 5 and was a little nauseous for 24ish hours but otherwise felt fine. Since that seems to be working for me I'm just sticking with 5, which should make my vials last 7.5 months, so under $100 a month.

I know a girl taking 17.5 per week and she is spending $540 a month on it. I was telling her how crazy that is and she said when she was on Ozempic she was spending more than 1k a month. I'm such a cheapskate that is insane to me.

I'm confused, what are these numbers you're speaking of? "2, 4, 7.5", etc

I wonder what the long term consequences of using ozempic type drugs will end up being. Seems like a pretty strong medication for people in a lot of situations, and from what I've seen it seems to work better for men than women. I've seen people quit and then in a few months the weight bounces right back on.

I mean good on people who use it as a wedge to experience losing weight if they have had long term trouble, I just hope they can develop the good habits that help them sustain it long term, because a life time subscription to medication like that just sets off alarm bells in my head. I'm very against taking medicine that isn't temporary.

Those the milligrams per week dosages.

Mine is measured in milliliters. Started off at .15ML and moved to .20ML. Felt pretty awful at that level and never increased it. At month two they wanted you to go to .50 and I was like hell no.

Ozempic has been FDA approved since 2017 FWIW. I know it seems like a new drug because its newer part of the cultural zeitgeist but its been around and in use by diabetics for a while.
