SO very thankful I found this forum! Big thanks to Dionysos and many others for the priceless info found here. I was in a panic last week when the news broke on Reddit (yeah, I know but this time they were right!) that my compounded Tirz was going away. Sema didn't really work for me after a few weeks, but the Tirz works great, even at a low 5 mg dose. I still need to lose another 25 pounds to get to a healthy weight, and there's no way in hell I can afford Lilly's insane prices for their liquid gold. I did manage to get 80 mg of compounded from Lavender and 180 mg from Slim Down. Which will last me about 6-9 months, since I'm sure I'll need to titrate up at some point. Even with that stash in the fridge I'd be very worried right now, since I'll probably need to be on at least a low maintainence dose of this medication for years, if not the rest of my life. Being free from food-addiction has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me and I can't imagine going back to that now.
I have no problem whatsover ordering research Tirz, even from China, and reconstituting it myself, and I don't see those greedy bastards at Lilly being able to stop that any time soon.
Thanks to all of you for my peaceful sleep tonight.
