I've been pretty cavalier about dosing and overfill. I'm on my last pin of the 1st month at supposedly 15mg.

(With overfill, I can get 19.5mg.)

1st week I pinned 15mg, then a bump on day 4(4.5mg overfill).

2nd week I pinned 15mg, then a bump on day 4 (4.5mg again)

3rd week, I broke .65ml up into two roughly .35ml, three days apart. (19.5mg ÷2)

4th week, went back to roughly .45ml. (I'll bump if I need to.)

4th week: First time in a year, it hurt!

I think I hit a capillary. All day I was kinda swimming headed. Like back when I first started.

It's an adventure!

Anyone had such an experience?
 
Holy fuck dude, youre a madman! I recently had to bump DOWN my 7mg tirz and 6mg reta because id throw up anything I ate after about the size of a deck of cards that went on for over a week, down to 5mg of tirz and 5mg of reta just so I can fucking eat something and keep it down.

When I opened this I thought I would see a horse for some reason?
 
I have not seen a single study that indicates that anything more than 15mg is recommended. Now dividing that up into 2 doses might not be a bad idea., but going over 15 total likely does not provide much.

Where have you seen studies on split dosing?

What’s the basis for >15mg/week “does not provide much”?
 
There's a high dose (>15mg)crew here. I can't quite commit there names to memory.

That said, I may split the dose. Thing is, I hate leaving shit in the vial. I can pretty much count on there being .15ml dregs. When you get over 10mg/.5ml you get real product worth using.

Im curious about the tirz and Reta stack. What made you want to do that and how did you start? Why do you prefer it over just taking 1?

Yea, I hate trying to slurp the last little bit.. Must be a learned ability. I add a little BAC and slurp that best I can. Saving that for a rainy day.
 
I would split dose ti

I was up to 7mg on tirz and getting pretty hungry by day 5. Started split dosing evey 5 days, still hungry ( im a fatass with unhealthy crazy relationships with food ) I had recently discovered gray and purchased reta. Wanted to try it. So instead of split dosing tirz, split dosed tirz and reta. Appetite dissapeared, weight loss took off, like losing serious weight, without feeling hungry at all. In fact i havent experienced actual hunger in 4 months.

I eat an apple, orage or banana daily, drink a nurri, and eat a card size block of some protien every day. My diet isnt a focus, dont watch or rmeasure calories, eat like a normal.person.

shrug i like how i feel split dosing those two, and i have so much of each at this point, might as well. When i eventually hit goal this summer will probably try to just use reta to maintain.

Lilly is running a study on 17.5 and 20 mg study, but no results posted yet.

Yeah! I should do a YouTube on slurping, but I have like stuff i gotta do. 👍

Don't save that stuff for too long. Labcat talked me out of that. 😇

Yeah. I should have been clearer. I meant I have not seen results from any study on <15mg.

I looked very hard for any info on the study that they are supposed to be doing on higher doses, but all I could find was the uninformative title about studying dosage variations or something similar. If you have a link to it let me know or where you got the 17.5/20mg numbers from?

It was on reddit I guess in the zepbound group, but I can´t find the link anymore and I didn´t save it unfortunately. When I find it, I will post it.

What dose did you start at? Wow, you went high! Were you not seeing results at lower doses? I started low & this month has been only 3lbs so I need to bump it up!! Still only at 1mg

Congrats on the weight loss! I feel like I may be headed in the same direction in some ways. The itch to try Reta gets stronger and stronger. But I also want to give tirz a fair shot since I have reacted pretty good to it. So if it’s working then no reason. We’ll see. I’ll evaluate in a couple months.

I started last year mid Feb. with 4 x 2.5mg Mounjaro pens. @ 330lbs.

I started going up per the EL study. Nobody said. "Level off if it's working."

It never leveled off, anyway. It slowed or quit working, so I jacked it on up.

Here I am @ 267lbs. this morning. 👍
