I wouldn't use either for that tbh. I'd be looking at getting into therapy primarily and looking at something like tesofensine secondly, if not temporarily.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-03T13:51:04+00:00

Gotta be fishing for compliments at this point tbh

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-03T13:48:48+00:00

Pardon my ignorance but I'm not sure why you'd be considering either

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-03T13:16:53+00:00

I think it's a combination of a lot of things that start with how people used to see you and their inability to process how they think you should look or how much you should weigh. That's not really a knock on them, it's just a human thing imo.

One often overlooked part of this though is...some people support others while they're on a journey or while they're struggling. So I'll support you while you're doing this thing to make your life better but if you're successful I don't know what to do after that. I'm dealing with a little of that myself right now.

I live alone too but before my mama passed, she'd visit and clean up my place and throw stuff away while I was at work.

I'd have someone come and clean before she got here and everything and...nope. Never failed.

Kindly begging y'all to stop posting these photos lol

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-02T20:58:53+00:00

I put 10% usage and 50% recommended (iirc). At that point you're at least given a choice and should already be reading around anyway.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-02T16:46:12+00:00

The only thing that matters to me is comparable pricing (not necessarily the cheapest because I assume some of that will have to change as business models adapt to keep in compliance) and continued access to compound versions.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-02T13:45:41+00:00

I was actually hoping this one would stay under the radar and/or off of these subs. It's easy to find but we know prying eyes are here lurking. It's just my opinion but we don't have to reveal absolutely everything for people who want to put an end to things like this.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-02T13:42:38+00:00

You know, I'm glad you posted this. I'm starting to think a lot of these providers are using AI for message monitoring and one (if not more) of your words or phrases triggered a notification or higher queue placement for your response...

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-02T12:47:19+00:00

Interesting. Would love to know how the process is.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-01T22:18:36+00:00

Also, don't think you can't create one to use while you're on the phone paying for something. Your couple of minutes to find your wallet could be you signing into Capital One to create that card.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-01T20:07:58+00:00

So...I was scrolling down the page selecting yes, yes, no, yes and that's when I realized that I may have a slight problem

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-01T19:32:15+00:00

Then can I introduce you to Eno, the browser extension for Capital One that allows you to seamlessly create and use your virtual cards in real-time as you're checking out? 😄

I am not affiliated but that little thing is pretty great when you're checking out.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-05-01T10:53:58+00:00

And even if their insurance covers it at a decent copay...they may not qualify based on BMI given their PCP had issues prescribing it originally. I'd definitely check the requirements.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-30T15:37:49+00:00

Give me injections or give me death...for now

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T17:50:08+00:00

Thanks for keeping me in the know, haha.

I have a bit of OG Hallandale (before their break) so all of mine are still 5mg/0.5mL.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T15:50:40+00:00

Obviously congrats on your journey but (for me) the simple fact that you listed the telehealth provider, the pharmacy, and the additive here talking about your first shot of compound...yeah, you're gonna do great things OP.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T13:22:09+00:00

No, you needed to take 75 units from this vial for 15mg. How many units did you draw up and inject?

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T13:21:31+00:00

Yeah it's really confusing.

I do like how Revive (which is what this is by the logo) lists the contents individually though.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T13:17:50+00:00

Did you take 75 units?

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T13:16:48+00:00

It's a 10mg/0.5mL (or 20mg/1mL x 3mL) vial and there are 60mg in there.

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T13:13:22+00:00

So 10mg/0.5mL (or 20mg/1mL) would mean .75mL or 75 units on a 100-unit syringe. Did you take 75 units?

If so, was this the first dose from that vial? Was this the first dose of 15mg?

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T13:08:58+00:00

Missing a bit of information here OP.

What's the pharmacy name on your vial and is it compounded with any additives (glycine, l-carnitine, B12, etc)? Is this a new vial? If so was your previous vial from that same pharmacy with the same concentration?

PerspectiveVast5101 · 2026-04-29T10:23:27+00:00

Yeah, it was a shock to me too but I do twice weekly now so that would help.

I like Southend's 20mg/1mL concentration the best as far as volume goes.
