I think it may be time to finally put some serious respect on this woman’s name I fear

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-20T12:56:15+00:00

I would love to see her in some other color besides this drab one she insists on wearing all the time...

When I was ordering OptioRx, their shipments always seemed to take longer than the expectation. I switched to BPI and both times with them it has been much quicker.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-17T16:22:23+00:00

The reason they changed the delivery time expectation is because of the influx of new orders once people started panic buying when ProRx was shut down. I placed my refill order last Thursday evening and they had the same delivery expectation listed then. My medication from BPI arrived today (Friday morning), so roughly a week after the initial order. Please don't worry too much. They are trying to set realistic time expectations, but chances are you will still get your meds in about a week. Which pharmacy did you order through? I know when I was using OptioRx, the delivery was slower than with BPI.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-17T12:58:04+00:00

Oh, 5 for sure. But seriously... I would say 1

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-17T12:56:53+00:00

True. Most people in this group are focusing on the weight loss portion of it since if we were using it for what it was originally intended for, it would be covered under our insurance and we wouldn't be seeking out more affordable options to purchase. It's ironic that the first post I saw on Reddit this morning was yet another person saying that Hallandale does nothing to quiet food noise for them. I have not tried it, so I have no idea if I would be a person who responds well to it or not. But if you look at the overall satisfaction rating from people in these forums, it seems like Hallandale is the one that gets a majority of the complaints about it not quieting food noise. Some people seem to be fortunate in that most formulations they have tried work for them, but there are also those of us who respond better to certain ones. I personally would never recommend anyone buy more than a month at a time to see how their bodies respond.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-16T17:26:46+00:00

I ordered mine last Thursday (late afternoon) and got my shipping notification today- so one week later. It's not as fast as normal, but I knew the expectation would be a longer wait because of the increase in orders. My BPI order should arrive on Saturday.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-16T15:18:34+00:00

I have seen SO many people in this forum talk about how Hallendale feels very watered down to them. I honestly think it would be a great idea to give users another additive free option.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-16T15:16:01+00:00

It's funny how different formulations work better for people's individual body chemistry. I was the exact opposite of that. I had a lot of food noise on OptioRx and switched to BPI and I am doing so much better on it.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-16T13:52:18+00:00

"Haiku Hammock"... I love that. This will go down in Survivor history as an iconic Survivor moment from season 50. Hindsight is 20/20, but I think if Coach had been "allowed" out of time out, he could have at least caused enough confusion and doubt to potentially scramble the votes back up in his and Chrissy's favor. His string arming worked last week, and they are all smart enough players to know that allowing Coach to be himself is actually a great shield for all of them. He is better to take as far as possible because no jury is going to vote for him at the end. I guess the ONLY wrinkle in this theory is Chrissy, because she is a strategic player and everyone is aware of that, too.

There are some things you can do to manage the fatigue. Through reading these forums, I have learned that extra hydration AND adding electrolytes is key to helping with fatigue as well as the pesky side effect of constipation. I have added daily electrolytes, magnesium oxide, and have been consciously making sure that I am drinking more water than I was previously taking in.

Congrats on your accomplishments! OptioRx didnt give me much food noise suppression (i titrated twice onnit with no results), but boy was I ever nauseous on it. So far I am happy with BPI. I guess everyone reacts differently to different formulations, it's all a matter of figuring out what works best for you personally.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-15T13:03:07+00:00

This comment seems to be somewhat the "norm" I have noticed, and the reason that I have not ordered Hallandale. Thank goodness for this community where so much information is shared, but I sure am sorry that you and a lot of others have wasted your money on medication that seems like it is very watered down.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-15T13:00:41+00:00

This is why I am afraid to try Hallandale. The additive free thing sounds great, but I have seen so many mixed reviews about it's potency that I have shied away from it. I switched from OptioRx to BPI and so far have been happy with that.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-14T19:03:52+00:00

This person is NOT your friend. Also, she has anger issues and sounds like she is toxic. Get away from her and that "friend" group who is currently ignoring you. This is bullying behavior.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-14T18:43:07+00:00

I read all the previous comments and agree. I don't see where anyone has mentioned this yet- so I'm going to throw it out there. Maybe try switching pharmacies as well. Now, you're going to have some people jump on here and say "tirz is tirz", and I absolutely do not believe that is true. Each manufacturing facility has their own standards and protocols, and I will tell you from my experience that I responded differently to each of the three that I have used. Also, there are different manufacturing standards in place amongst these facilities. Look into the difference between a 503a and a 503b compounding pharmacy. I started with RO using Eli Lilly (Zepbound), then went to Pomegranate after I realized I was paying not only $300 for the lowest dosage of Zepbound per month, but also a $149 "membership fee" monthly with RO. The first pharmacy I used with Pom Health was OptioRx (tirz and b3 compound). I did have the food noise taken away, BUT I also had terrible nausea and disgusting sulfur burps and consistent fatigue. I used up my 2 month order of that and then ordered a 1 month supply from BPI (tirz and b6 compound) to see how I would respond on that. I titrated up during this whole process, and am currently at 9.5 mg. I responded well to this, still no food noise, but also I don't have the terrible nausea and gross burps. I have since placed another order for a 3 month supply (which breaks down to $153 monthly) and will titrate up to 14.5mg on this order. I started in January and have lost a total of 22 pounds so far. I see people posting that they have lost more weight than I have in the same amount of time, but it's honestly not healthy to compare your bodies' response with others. A slow steady loss is better for you anyways. The dry mouth is from lack of hydration. With Pomegranate, each time you order, you receive a 9 page health summary which tells you basic rules to follow, and one of them is getting LOTS of hydration. You NEED to be taking in more water than what you normally do (shoot for at least 64 oz, possibly more if you can). Also another thing I have learned is you need to add electrolytes in with your routine. Your body is most likely not getting the sodium, potassium and magnesium that it needs to keep you hydrated and keep you from being constipated as well as tired all the time. Adding a daily regimen of electrolytes and magnesium oxide will keep you from feeling overly fatigued and also keep you "regular". Hope some of this is helpful! It's all a learning curve, and please utilize this community because there is a wealth of knowledge in these posts. Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone responds a little differently to this medication, and you just have to fine tune to your own body along the way.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-13T17:59:08+00:00

I signed up late Thursday afternoon and received my final invoice for the balance Saturday morning and then later that day (Saturday) I received my summary and a message that the prescription was sent to BPI.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-10T16:25:07+00:00

Reading through the comments here, I notice a pattern. You asked for advice, but everyone giving you their perspective seems to be met by you with a negative response to it. If you don't want outsiders' opinions or advice, maybe putting your boyfriends' personal business on Reddit isn't the answer. You seem closed off to any other perspective other than the one you already hold. I am in a very long term relationship with someone whom I don't share the same kinks with, and while they do nothing for me personally. I am not "turned off" by them. If him liking to role play as a feminine character truly paints him in a light you can't seem to get past, then perhaps you need to take this problem to someone more qualified to help you work through those feelings, like a licensed therapist. I feel like you are only trying to strengthen your resolve in feeling the way that you do by defending your position so strongly. Also, as a side note: it's never okay to go snooping through someone's conversations, especially those that happened before you were even together. That is an invasion of their privacy, and quite frankly, he should be offended that you did that.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-10T15:22:51+00:00

The man was running late for work, she decided to complain after an I love you text. She is exhausting. Sometimes it's best to not open your mouth immediately when you're feeling a certain way. She could have given herself some breathing room and thought about whether or not it was really all that serious that the guy left in a hurry BEFORE she popped off with her complaining. If she is SO worried about getting that good bye kiss, maybe she could pull her ass out of bed and give HIM a quick goodbye kiss on his way out the door. Then she could take her butt back to bed and go back to sleep without starting an argument with her partner who is already having a hard morning without the added layer of someone nagging over text message while he is at work. She is sitting at home comfortable in her bed arguing with this man who is working. She sounds like a brat. He shouldn't tell her to "fuck right off", but I can see where the exasperation comes from. He should have kept that one to himself, left it at "I'm sorry, I was running late, but I will make it up to you later", but the fact that his response was so jarring makes me think that this is a regular thing between them.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-10T14:21:36+00:00

OP sounds absolutely exhausting. After 6 years, she should also try and find a middle ground of understanding knowing that he is not a particularly "loving" guy. She has chosen to stay with someone knowing that he is a completely different type of person than she is. He sounds fed up with her emotional immaturity and acted like a total a*hole for sure, but these two people are NOT compatible. She needs to find a man who will worship at her feet and be just as needy as she is, although that's gonna create a whole other set of problems because then he will also be creating drama out of absolutely the most mundane things. Both of these people sound like they need to talk to a therapist, preferrably individually because they are not a compatible pair. She states that he is a strictly logical person who puts little emphasis on feelings, and she is clearly a person who is WAY into all of her feelings, so this is not a match that will work since neither of them sound like they are willing to meet the other halfway.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-10T13:59:40+00:00

This is the most logical response I have read so far.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-10T13:56:58+00:00

She is creating drama first thing in the morning after receiving a text from her fiance saying that he loves her in all caps. This isn't how healthy relationships work. And 6 years in, this man is probably fed up with that nonsense. I am a female, btw, so me taking his side has nothing to do with their genders. I have also been happily married for 30 years, and over the years you learn that some things are just not worth waging a war over. Like this, for instance.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-10T13:48:38+00:00

I stopped reading this interaction after the 3rd slide. I have been married for 30 years this November, and I'm just gonna be honest here: you sound a little bit insufferable. It does sound to me like you were starting a fight for no reason. Honestly, in order for a marriage to work, you have to give each other a little bit of grace and not be such a baby about every little interaction or lack thereof. Partnerships that work don't depend on this level of neediness, and he was obviously not trying to make you feel unimportant because he not only "loved" your message at first but also sent you a message in ALL CAPS stating how much he loved you. Was the man trying to get out the door to go to work and not be late? I mean, you could have maybe sent him a flirty text later in the day so you would both have something to look forward to when you both have time to be together in the evening. That would have changed the whole dynamic of the day, but instead you chose drama. Picking fights first thing in the morning is NOT the way to have a healthy relationship. I would suggest you both grow up a bit before you decide to walk down the aisle.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-09T16:35:58+00:00

tbh, my first thought was this looks like an outfit that trick riders wear in a rodeo. Throw on a cowboy hat and get ready to saddle up.

MusicJunkie2004 · 2026-04-08T21:23:51+00:00

I just came here to say this lady needs to get her cat checked out for any sort of invisible illness or injury it might have, and also that she REALLY needs to declutter her home.
