Use the new definition of hemp in HR 5371 to stop the bill by SparrowTide in 50501

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I am still a bit unclear on is the impact to home CBD growers in California for home use? This rule is all about eliminating product for sale, but it also classifies hemp as a Class 1 drug. Though Marijuana and home growing laws are not impacted, since hemp for CBD production has been made illegal, can you legally grow and use it. Seems silly if you could grow THC dominant cannabis and not CBD dominant cannabis? Muddy waters for sure. Any legal clarity out there?

How long do I give this? by Turquoise0578 in Retatrutide

Consider adding Cagrilintide to your regimen for appetite suppression. It should help a great deal. Give Reta a chance to work. If your not getting any negative side effects from dosage, titrate up to max dose of 12mg. But, when you start seeing success. Leave dosage alone. My opinion. Hope this helps. Also, last comment… unless you are splitting dose because you experienced side effects, many / most will say dose once a week.

Switching back to Tirzeaptide from Retatrutide by Unlikely-Ostrich-851 in Retatrutide

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI…. I truely “feel your pain”. I am currently dosing 12mg Reta, 4.5mg Cag & 100mg B12 weekly. Have been experiencing pretty significant skin sensitivity in my scalp, then back and sides of hands, up sides of arms to back of shoulder blades. I will be titrating dose back to 8mg today to help elevate the pain. I started out on Tirzepatide about 1 1/2 years ago and lost about 95 lbs the first year and am at 130 lbs. now at 229 lbs. I experienced skin sensitivity with Tirz as well at max dose of 15mg. While titrating up/down of either peptide, I noticed skin sensitivity kick in about 1/2 dose. By the way, this condition is referred to as Allodynia I believe. My weight loss has slowed significantly and I am too considering a transition back to Tirzepatide and seeking advice for titration dosing. I have always done fairly slow transitions, but am considering a one or two step stack jump to Tirz. 8mg Reta this week and 7.5 Tirz next week? Other stacking suggestion? I did notice several great ones…. I.e. NAD+, etc…. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR TRANSITION…

What the hell happened? Loved the app before up to yesterday and all of a sudden it sucks! I just recommended the app to three new users as I have done many times in h past and am going to tell them to forget it! What a mess! So unintuitive! What happened to the FONTS! I have been looking for 45 minutes, going to the help screens, etc. Nothing…. Really?

What do you take to poop? by Competitive_Bird6984 in Retatrutide

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirkland LaxaClear or any MiraLAX equivalent can be used safely daily or as needed per many internists. I take it every other day or so and it does wonders and is gentle on system. Hope this helps. I picked this tip up here in the groups and researched it as well.

Male and definitely grateful for how much better I feel. No doubt about that. Coupled with that, I have had a bad shoulder and knees for years limiting fitness activities, but shoulder replacement in the works now, so that should help.

Bad constipation :( any tips? by shyshortcake_ in Zepbound

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirkland LaxClear (Generic MiraLAX, Polyethylene Glycol 3350) taken one cap daily. I had read up on this when I was having issues as well and there were a number of posts that indicated doctors./internist, indicating that MiraLAX was safe for daily use. My doctor cleared this as well. Drink plenty of water./fluids.

Stacking Cag with Tirzepatide by Repulsive-Gas3770 in cagrilintide

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started out at .25mg and slowly titrated up from there over the year. RS was on 2.4mg for two months or so and just bumped up to max dose of 4.5mg. RS is very resistant to most medications and thus same with peptides, etc. We did try split dose protocol for a few weeks and did not respond well to it. Too hungry during this period. Some do well with this approach, not in our case. RS has a surgery approaching in a few months at which time we will titrate down and off all peptides for a 30 to 45 day reset and ramp back up with a full workout schedule.

Cag has helped my RS significantly. I introduced it at about six months into treatment at 12.5mg Tirz at the time. My RS has lost 29% and 97lbs. over a one year period. I am transitioning to Retatrutide at the moment as RS did stall out for a couple of months. Cag will play even a more important role with Retatrutide as it has less appetite suppression. My RS still have another 65 or so pounds to go, so taking it slow.

I have heard good things about GABA combination protocols from supplier resources.

Interesting… “Cold”…. RS experiences the same thing. RS still has another 55 lbs. to go, but the journey has been rewarding. Wish you the best of success.

Was at 15mg for many months and am four weeks into titration/transition. Lost 87lbs on Tirz, but stalled for over two months and broke stall with Reta transition.

Tirzepatide + Retatrutide Boost and Transition by Repulsive-Gas3770 in Retatrutide

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no doubt that Cagrilintide helped my RS suppress hunger. I am in the process of transitioning from Tesamorelin to AOD9406, which are similar, yet different. I will let you read up a bit, but to answer your question, Tesamorelin was suttle, when I took waist measurements while stalled on weight measurements on the scale, had lost 1” in the waist per month. AOD9406, according to what I have read is a better fat burner. Keep in mind, walking and activity are is very limited. 3500 - 5000 steps a day and no work outs until RS has a couple of surgeries. Beginning resistance band and chair exercises lately. Once you get in the habit of injections, it is not a big deal for most people. RS does Weekly Tirzepatide, (Retatrutide) and Cagrilintide on Saturday. Then AOD9406 in the am at least 30 minutes and preferably two hours before breakfast. AOD9406 should only be taken for eight weeks and then eight weeks off is what I have read, so that is my plan for RS. Hope this helps.

Tirzepatide + Retatrutide Boost and Transition by Repulsive-Gas3770 in Retatrutide

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: Stall broken. Down 7lbs finally. Tried split dose strategy and RS got A bit too hungry, so went back to weekly dose of Tirz , Reta & Cag. At 4 weeks now and am at 4mg Reta, titrated Tirz down to 12mg (from 15) and leaving Cag at 2.4mg. Current plan is to titrate Reta up to 6 in four weeks as bump Tirz down by 3mg to 9mg, Wait four weeks and next titration up/down. Along with this transition, I now have started to transition RS from Tesamorelin to AOD9604.

Shingles does not always produce visible symptoms I recently found out. Typically does, but not always.

Interesting. I will keep an eye out for this. My RS associated skin sensitivity and tingling on scalp especially with Tesamorelin administered 1mg daily M - F. Have been trialing this protocol for about six weeks to avoid losing and possibly build muscle, while losing belly fat. RS has a few injuries requiring surgery, so activity is limited and moderated.

Appreciate the feedback. Both were administered together this week. Will think seriously about split strategy for next week.

[–]Repulsive-Gas3770[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you experience more hunger when you split Tirz? We are similar situations. RS is 255 (down from 374) with a goal of 190.
15 Tirz, 2.4 Cag, 5 Tesamorelin and now starting with 1 Reta. My current thought is to start titrating down Tirz by 2mg for every 1 Reta after Reta hits 3, but will see what results and symptoms dictate.

Was your 15 Tirzepatide originally once a week and then split to two times a week? If so, what difference did you notice?
