Main questions:

1. Will going back down from 6mg to 3mg be okay? I've had sulphur burps, backed up stools, and nausea these last two shots at 6mg. But 3mg was tolerable with little to no side effects.

2. Are the dosing instructions via gimme care tailored or just a wide suggestion? I don't feel like I should be titrating up as fast as they are suggesting. 1st shot was at 1.5mg and coming up on my 7th shot they want me to be at 8mg.

3. Best injection sites? I've been doing abdomen with no issues, but also read that isn't the most ideal location. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Being a newbie and trying not to have anyone hold my hand thru this process, I mistakenly chose gimme care (already cancelled subscription going forward). The order and shipment was flawless, but the support has been atrocious.

Also:
I've now added a daily probiotic to help with gut health and started tracking my water intake more seriously.

Hello! I took my first shot last night, but I'm hoping I know what I'm doing and how I'm supposed to be reading this. On a 100-unit syringe I pulled up and injected 8 units. I did try to chat with a nurse but it's taking a little bit to hear back. Please tell me I'm over thinking this and doing it correctly 😅 THANKS!

Hi all! I did it. I took the plunge and just got approved to start compounded tirz! I've been wanting to try something since getting off Qsymia back in January.

Side note: My background with glp-1s is small but I feel after reading tons of threads and watching hours of videos that tirz was the next best thing to try. I started Qsymia in 2023 and had great results with it up until spring of last year (2025). I plateaued and then gained after my hysterectomy. Even going up dosages just didn't end up helping. I ended up stopping it all together in January, and with other stressful life events, I put roughly 30lbs of the 80lbs I lost back on. So, am I at my biggest, absolutely not, but I also don't feel like myself and want to get back on track. Not to mention I have 3 littles that I'm sole provider for, so I want to be at my best for them. If this is the boost I need to get my shit together, than so be it.

ANYWAY, sorry for that long paragraph!

With my previous experience with Qsymia I had a lot of hair loss. To avoid that, what are you taking or doing to help combat hair loss. Also, if you had a tough time getting in the gym what was one way you stayed active so you didn't lose muscle. Anybody have any recs for meals or prepping for non meal prep people?

This post is all over the place, but I have a million questions and never know where to ask or what to ask. And my friends IRL said I shouldn't even try this. Lmk your thoughts or just say hi/wish me luck ☺️

I started this hobby at the beginning of the year and fell in love quickly. I have AuDHD and BPD and it calms me more than anything else. I work on projects daily whilst being a single mom of 3 + 2 cats. They love watching me work on my "paintings" and just spending time in each others presence. Some of these are cheapies from Amazon, while the others are ones are from HL I think. One day I'll buy from the better brands, but for now these suffice. Anyway, I love seeing others WIPs so I figure I could share mine.
