week 71 check-in — 17kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me

Results Well Actually ×9 Slow Clap ×2 Receipts ×1

Been lurking in c/orforglipron for about 10 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 96, 12.5mg, and dual agonist is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 35 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 7.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

dual agonism is SURPASS, do not generalise from semaglutide

Switched from sema at 7.5mg to tirz at 15mg. Different drugs, cannot compare the doses directly.

the appetite change on tirz is more than just reduced hunger, it is different machinery

u/priya_guerrero311 points·1 year ago

the dual agonism hits different and that is why people describe it differently

u/hana_pereira82 points·1 year ago

Yeah, dual agonism does produce a different appetite profile than GLP-1 alone.

Week 35 on Mounjaro and 11kg down. The appetite reduction feels different from sema in ways I do not have words for yet.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Small correction: the trial was 24 weeks, not 39. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

How long at each step before you escalated?

SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there

About c/tirzepatide

Tirzepatide-specific discussion: the dual-agonist pharmacology, the 2.5 → 15mg ladder, the appetite profile people describe as different from semaglutide, and the SURMOUNT/SURPASS trial programme. Comparisons with semaglutide are welcome as long as they are specific about dose equivalence being unknown.

c/tirzepatide rules
  1. "Tirz is better than sema" needs a comparator dose or it is a vibe, not a claim.
  2. Vial-splitting and self-compounding discussion stays in c/reconstitution.
  3. No pen-cracking tutorials. Discussing that people do it is fine; instructions are not.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
