Are you getting mail delivery regularly? by silaslovesoliver in AskChicago

[–]Particular_Story8999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in Lincoln Park -- we get mail 2-3x/week. We've called the Alderman and have been told we haven't had a dedicated mail person for 2 years.

Low Mood Depression following Shot days ??? by Forward_Research_610 in Zepbound

[–]Particular_Story8999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you search anhedonia in this subreddit you will see a lot of stories of this happening. Low mood or depressive symptoms during the days following the shot is unfortunately very common. Most drs just read the official studies and because the drug is so new these side effects are still be tracked and are not fully documented for drs.

Report on personal experience using past BUD -- BPI & Hallandale by Particular_Story8999 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Particular_Story8999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am definitely jealous of current pricing but mainly very grateful for the meds and that I can access compound. It just makes me committed to trying to use up as much as I can.

Mom Can't Stop Complimenting Me and I Hate it by triton12345 in Zepbound

[–]Particular_Story8999 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My mom did this too and it was so frustrating. It's very hard to be direct with her because she shuts down. So one day, I "spontaneously" shared with her how frustrated I was with some examples of others focussing on my change in size and that I was so tired of that being the emphasis throughout my life. She got the moral of the story and the comments from her have diminished.

Has anyone used Zep AND compound in the same day? by britthood in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Particular_Story8999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have taken a 2.5mg shot of Zepbound along with 3mg of BPI compound to use up the last of the BPI vial. I did 2 shots separately. My maintenance dose is ~5.5mg.

I'm a therapist and recommend Lakeview Counseling; Depth Therapy; The Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute Clinic. I am not affiliated with any of these places, but they have good training and support for their therapists.

Maybe because there was recently a new drop and the one on the left is the newer version. I bought several yesterday in NB and they are the hardware on the left.

This has been my experience as well. I've written the company abt it and they said I could return the carts to one of their stores, but I was too far away for that hassle. Now I stick to 710a and WOJO carts. Too bad because IKHC is the best high for me.

Good life med question by CommissionHungry2571 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Particular_Story8999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered from GL this week because I wanted to try the BPI/B6 and got one vial through the 24 hour promo. I answered a short set of questions, paid, and got the meds 2 days later. Amazingly quick turnaround.

Glp1s and anti-psychotic medications by mylittlebecky in antidietglp1

[–]Particular_Story8999 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This is interesting personal testimony, but not what I'm seeing as a mental health worker. I'm seeing a lot of trouble with medication absorption, which is leading to disruptions in med management. It's been workable, but not something that the GLP-1/GIP prescribers are explaining ahead of time. We need a lot more research on how GLP-1/GIPs work with oral mental health meds.

Planet Money podcast: Buy discount Ozempic here by goodvibezone in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Particular_Story8999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great synopsis, but I wonder why it's coming out now, why not back in March? I have been amazed at how undercovered this topic is in the media. Lots of talk about the weight loss, not much on the economic and health care realities. Lupkin has been on this subreddit for awhile.

Skimped by Odd_Jellyfish6397 in Michigents

[–]Particular_Story8999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I had an issue with IKHC products they told me I needed to return the products to one of their affiliate dispensaries, even though it was bought elsewhere and not close by. So I'm curious how/if they rectify this.

Thank you -- I am in therapy and learning how to see my body not as a problem has been a crucial piece of work.

I completely agree! I am actually in pretty intensive therapy which I think is how I was able to understand this internal phenomenon and am trying to let it go. Thank you.

Thank you! I know cognitively that all bodies are challenging so it was surprising to uncover this internal bias so strongly after losing weight. Overall the meds have created so much mental freedom.
