Normal side effects?

I think this guy is just here to rage bait

His intro says he had been reading for a month. Surely anybody that had been reading this forum for a month would know better.

No, ive been on 5mg for like 5 injections and moved to 10mg, that's not really rage baiting, it's what I tried. I see I should've moved to either 6mg or 8mg if I wanted to move up, its just a mistake, but now im going to go back down to 2.5mg and if that's good for some weeks with no horrible sides, ill do 4mg and then 6mg etc.

Say gang, I was shooting up ghk-cu in my testicles, and now they are swollen and bleeding. Im doubling up the dose tonight for science hoping that cancels out the bleeding at least, wish me luck!!!!

Besides keeping the dose low, splitting reta (or other GLP) to at least twice a week helps too.

Except for really low doses, I get diarrhea with all the GLPs I have tried (reta, tirz, sema, survo, lira, orfo). So you won't see me buying T100 or R100, haha.

Have you considered cagri as way to boost a low dose of reta? I keep forgetting to try it again. I have only been on 250 mcg of cagri and only used it twice. But no effects either way at that dose.

For the long-term, the probiotic in Florastor Advanced ( Saccharomyces boulardii) seems to help somewhat with my GLP-induced diarrhea. But not enough to be able to raise the GLP dose.

To heaven?

Titrate slowly...

I was doing 5mg a week and had diarrhea for a couple of days after injection. I injected 10mg last night and the side effects are brutal for me on waking up: heavy sweating unless im in super cold AC, diarrhea of course, hurt stomach, a bit of a headache. The main issue being the hurt stomach and diarrhea

I’m dying rn I was reading the first sentence so seriously but burst out laughing at the second sentence.

On a serious note, pls research carefully and titrate up slowly and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

Thoughts and prayers lmaooooo

Your Reta badge has been revoked. Please turn in your vials and syringes at the door, and don’t ever try to titrate up so recklessly in the future.

Let's look at your accumulation plot from GLP-1 Plotter. https://glp1plotter.com/

I'm not sure if I have this exactly right but it seems like you started about Jan. 1st at 2.5mg for 2 weeks and then upped to 5mg on week 3. The best I can tell you went a couple of weeks and bumped it up to 10?

First your expected accumulation @ 2.5mg once a week over a 12 week period.

You peaked at 3.1mg, if you had continued at this dose you would have seen 3.8mg in the 4th week.



After the 2nd week you upped it to 5mg for your 3rd week(?) which would give you a peak of 5.6mg. your first week 6.9mg the second. if you had continued at this dose for 4 weeks you would have seen 7.8mg.



After 2 weeks of 5mg you upped it to 10mg(?) which would give you a 1st week peak of 11.5mg and if continued 15.6mg 4 weeks later.



The operative idea here is "peaks and troughs" are bad news you body needs time to adjust.

Extremes in a short period is a recipe for bad side effects. Slamming your system like this can possibly cause tolerance issues as well.

Long story short, I hope you feel better soon and learned something.

Edit: About that Thai water... I hope you're using Hospira.

I don't remember the date I started but here's how it went I think:

2.5mg for the first 2 weeks (2 injections)

5mg for 5 weeks (5 injections)

10mg for 1 week (1 injection)

Actually, after suffering for 24 hours or so from the side effects from 10mg, I'm pretty ok now, not 100% but I'm not suffering now and the diarrhea is gone but I still have a little bit of stomach grumbling

I think what I'll do next is do 2.5mg injections again and see how the side effects are. And if it's all good then switch to 4mg injections after a few weeks, and then 6mg etc. I'll probably titrate up to a new dose after 4 injections like what's recommended as far as I know.

For water I'm using bac water that I bought from the Thai supplier I bought from. But I'm about to get my order from China, a source that I've seen on this forum. I don't think the bac water I'm using has any impact on my side affects tho

I was kidding (kinda) about the water. I lived there for a year back in the 70's and never drank anything that wasn't bottled. So far as bac goes there have been some scary tests of what's out there. One post I saw claimed his off brand gave him the cramps and squirts. Personally I won't use anything but Hospira and I still filter everything once it's reconstituted. YMMV
