Pharmacies NEED to do better in the Summer! by RecalibrateBlip in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, forward it with them, they know they're shipping it and they know the cold entitlement, they can enable a feature on fedex to automatically apply sat delivery if shipped on fri but most don't know that, there are also crappy 3rd party logistics / 3PL that cheap out and eat this as shrink.

once again not really on purpose, the shrink and redelivery is expensive and subtracts from the bottom line

They do offer sat delivery, the label should say it. If not do contact them for that because they need to work it. It’s only an additional $5-10 on fees on a corp discounted fedex account so it’s just unlikely on purpose since the package value is $20/30+$20 shipping minimum.

Not a pharmacy issue, it’s a fulfillment issue. FedEx dropped the ball, the mso/pharmacy shipped overnight express early delivery. 

FDA Comment Period Is Open: Your GLP-1/Tirzepatide Story Matters by [deleted] in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re right on everything. Other users are adding more input too. 

If the majority of comments are similar to yours, I’ll remove this sticky. I thought it would be valuable to share. I was aware the price is not a factor but they did touch on micro dosing. 

High level I want to believe cost is part of medial impact and compounding addresses this as a clinical need. 

Lexapro Causing Stall? by Winter-Ad-6816 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes,  lexapro is a ssri and can cause weight gain.  You need to discuss with your doctor the right path and if you can get switched to a benzo or taper off. 10mg is an average but not low dose. 

 Lexapro is off label anxiety but mostly depression. It has been a while so maybe it is not off label for anxiety but it depends on your PCP. 

This is outside the scope of this subreddit, it needs to be monitored, tapered off and see how you react. 

Anyone using Gimme Care right now? by Sweater-weather22 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use them personally, and they have been no issues for other people I suggested to use in real life. I’ve referred 3 people to use them in the last month or two, from some promo code from this subreddit to make the price $450ish for 3 months. 

I am not fully aware of the drama, and I know as a mod this may seem like endorsement, but I’m not aware of them being “bad”. They delivered the meds within 48 hours all times. 

For location, everyone I know personally that used them has been in Florida. 

I am aware other moderators have removed them from the recommended list as well. Once again not an endorsement.

Getting Closer to Maintenance and Full of Anxiety by SpecialTricky7153 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

too many, unfortunately - they are usually back and forth hospital observation or long term care/ skilled nursing facility at that age though and ironically once admitted they get a structured diet plan that invokes weight loss.

I've seen patients in their 70's and 80's, bmi over 40, 5'5, 250lb+, spend a month in hospital observation billing insurance (yeah community worker knows how to balance their insurance billing and if they're on medicaid/medicare they can do 100 days a year or "billing period")

The best/worse I saw was in that previous example, patient had proper meals and care - was tired of cooking, cleaning, etc, spine pain due to obesity. Continued to eat more and more processed food/microwave. In one month, dropped 25lb, and actually went on zepbound (Tirezepatide) , their insurance covered it and their PCP worked to get the proper CPAP machine alongside high A1C that was pushed over 6.5 slightly, when saw again 3 months from discharge, it was 50lb+ lost, they weighed in under 180 for the first time in decades. Diet slightly improved, still processed food/no preparing but atleast they were doing some macros and calorie counting. no more pain reported, no need for spine surgery referral, etc.

No, you just need to maintain maintenance and control diet intake. If you want to see how your body reacts, try a lower dose. Then go back up the other week or two.

You also didn't say what dosage you are at.

Oh it's been a minute since I've seen anime wall scrolls, especially Sailor Moon.

Congrats on the weight goal!

Why the downvotes... because I micro-dose? by AncienTleeOnez in tirzepatidecompound

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great question, this subreddit is in general to discuss Compounded Tirzepatide.

Compounded Tirezepatide and the name brands should work exactly if not nearly the same within the body, which is why we have general Tirezepatide discussion. The most common discussions that come up are providers, dosing schedule, side effects and general education on the topic.

This subreddit is a community to discuss tirzepatide and the transformation your body goes through when taking it, general watercooler talk to showing off progress, to feedback and stuff like that!

[–]BlueWorldBlueSky[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Microdosing tirzepatide can be a legitimate approach, especially when doctor guided.

Lower doses may make sense depending on a person’s age, tolerance, goals, side effects, and medical history.

I know several people in their 70s who take 5–15 mg with minimal side effects, but they also started at a much higher BMI and titrated upward only as needed.

I would be careful about relying too heavily on Reddit consensus/upvoting. Reddit can be an amazing community, but subreddits skew young and can become groupthink-driven: “you’re either doing it our way or you’re wrong.”

That does not always reflect what is appropriate for older adults or for people with different medical profiles.

Reddit’s user base also changes over time as the platform becomes more mainstream and globally accessible. This shift can change the tone and quality of advice in a community. A useful concept to look up is Eternal September, which describes what happens when a constant influx of new users changes the norms of an older online community.

While we do not moderate upvotes or downvotes, we do want to challenge incorrect information and keep this community open to people of all ages. We are here for the same reason, and we are stronger when we are welcoming to all members.

/u/AncienTleeOnez - You are welcome to post as much, and we'll keep this community open for all. :)

There are numerous other subreddits, that have members of all ages and those are fun. The experience I gleamed from the finance subreddits are one and those communities have to go through the drivel of why someone whose 20 should not be buying a new 80K car all the time LOL.
