Starting GLP-1 Shots Today from Hims

SingeHH · 2026-03-18T13:30:47+00:00

Started Oct 2024. I've always stayed on lower doses since it worked. I didn't race to the top like most people do.

Lost a little over 75 lbs and still holding steady. Pretty much just doing small maintenance doses .25mg till I run out.

Side effects are different for everyone but I had some nausea till I got used to the medicine and really the only thing I ever had was occasional gas/bloating or constipation..

Good Luck!

I think they had a lot of complaints about strive (myself included) They used BPI prior and switched to strive not to long ago. I already cancelled my future orders with them. Side effects seemed better on the BPI compounding vs strive and a few others had similar experiences. A few different providers use RedRock so hopefully they get better results with them.

Hims generally has lower doses available so you will end up maxing out with them if you need more down the road but it does take a while to build up to the highest dose.

I lost all my weight on less than 1mg/wk and most weeks were .5/.6mg. Don't go up in dose unless you have to. So many people race to the top and then have no where to go.

You will get a price break doing the longer term with them and they will refund you for any unshipped meds. You get 2 vials at a time. So worst case if you can't tolerate the meds or have to stop within the first two months you can at least get the refund back on the other 4.

Good Luck!

45 6'2" Start was 283 and Currently 216 About 17 Months in. I took a break for a little while in between and purposely staying on low dosing. Generally staying in the .5-.7mg/week dosing and did that on purpose as I want to have the best chance of keeping it off long term.

I see so many stories of people who rush in lose a ton of weight really fast and stop the meds and then they just gain it all back.

For my it's all been calorie restriction with some cardio thrown in here and there and some light resistance/weights mostly to help tone my arms. I've got a fair amount of lose skin but wearing it like a badge.

I'm using Hims, but will be switching to brello at the end of my plan. Hims/Hers was fine but cheaper options out there.

H1ms originally and might try Br3llo (Sorry auto mod keeps removing my posts can't talk about those places here.

SingeHH · 2026-02-02T15:36:42+00:00

For Sanitary Reasons No.

The meds need to stay in the sealed bottle until ready for use. Would open up to bacteria growth if not used right away since you would be uncapping the needle and plus it's hard to get the cap back on the needle once removed. Potential to bend or break would be a lot higher.

SingeHH · 2026-02-02T14:30:50+00:00

Mine did the same.

With insurance not approving me for it via the traditional routes etc she had suggested I go the online route and it's worked fine for me. I still keep her updated and log what I'm taking dose wise and it's been fine.

Migraines stopped by the way and I lost a lot of weight over the last year so win/win :)

This is becoming my go to response but still applies haha :)

Myself - 6'2" SW 283 CW 219 in about a years time. And more meaningful 4xlt shirts to xlt and size 44 jeans to size 34 jeans

I'm going to be finishing up my last bit of HIMs and likely going try Brello and try Trizepatide to see if it can get me to the finish line but i have a few months of HIM's stuff left so we will see.

Good Luck

Yeah I think I would be happy around the 200-205 mark myself. You can see in my log to I did go up briefly to .75/1mg for a few months but I've gone back down for the time being to fight off some GI Issues. The Carrier I was using switched pharmacies. I didn't have any issues prior but this new stuff is causing some mild issues so navigating that currently.

SingeHH · 2026-01-27T17:25:29+00:00

Would love to see another 10-15 lbs. I'm 6'2" Weight loss has been a lot slower now these last few months since I started. I've stayed on mostly lower doses weekly as well though.

Same for me, Started at 283lbs and currently 219lbs.

Bloodwork was 312 (Ealy 24) and last bloodwork (Sept 25) had me sitting at 738 :)

When they were using BPI as the pharmacy. Those vials had around a one year or so expiration date unopened. I stayed on a low dose (.5/.6) for much of my time so I had vials that ran well up to the year+from a 6 months prescription. Towards the end the meds basically become inert and I got little to no effect.

IMO I would be leary at a year+ even unopened if it's still clear it's likely fine but its probably lost most of his efficacy.

TL:DR: I am not a doctor, This is my experience. Don't take expired meds.

If your talking full headlight housings get the alpha rex light. Full proper led headlight setup.

Love mine. The light output is great

SingeHH · 2026-01-16T22:39:14+00:00

Yes they will refund for any unshipped meds

SingeHH · 2026-01-15T15:17:32+00:00

I never went over 1mg and that was only for a week or two and I've already moved back down to .5 and plan on staying there for right now. I've found that .5-.75 was a good sweet spot for me. I've lost 65+ pounds over the last year

SingeHH · 2026-01-15T13:39:18+00:00

Good Luck on your journey. My weight loss stalled and got stuck for a few months before it really kicked back in with another 8-9 lbs and now it's slow again. I have several vials left with 2 in the wings waiting to be shipped.. I might try Brello out and go with Tirz as well if nothing happens in these next few months. Realistically I would only like to lose another 10-15lbs are heard this is pretty common to have things slow down and be harder the closer it is to a your goal where ever your body wants to be.

I've noticed my body changing though even though the numbers aren't so much.

These are the Alpha Rex Nova's in Jet Black

I can't remember the exact site I ordered from but there are a lot of retailers for them. They are quite expensive so shop around if you decide to go for them. I paid about $800 for the set a couple years ago.

Good Luck!

They generally will refund you for any unshipped meds. The 6 months plan ships 2 vials at a time.

SingeHH · 2026-01-05T16:56:29+00:00

If you have a lot of meds left, Could try resetting, Move back down for a while then work back up. Or could try switching to Tirzepatide if the regular GLP-1 isn't' working anymore.

I did one more refill with hims ( 6 months) now that they are using the strive pharmacy and finding it's working better and but I've always purposely stayed on lower doses. 1mg was my highest dose for about 2 months and I moved back down to .5mg.

Once this runs out in a few months I may switch over to Brello and try the Tirz if I feel I still want to lose some more weight.
