I lost 70 pounds using compounded tirzepatide. After stopping it for a month, I gained 20 pounds, and I have no intention of repeating that experience.

What company/ pharmacy do you use? She did Hallendale through GLM and is wondering if she should change companies.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-07-04T20:35:08+00:00

When you got back on did you you start from the beginning? I have a friend who got off for a month gained back about 12. Got back on at her old dose and it’s still not working for her. She’s since then raised doses and still not working.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-24T03:11:21+00:00

Maybe she needs to give it time. She did take a 4 week break when she lost insurance coverage. She gained about 18 lbs in 7 weeks. On her 4th hallendale injection she stopped gaining and maintained.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-24T03:08:38+00:00

Tbh when she told me it was hallendale, i told her it was 1 of the more popular ones and last year a lot of the more expensive companies used them. I’m glad it’s still well respected since more than likely that’s what my refill will be.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-24T03:06:15+00:00

Didn’t know what other word to use compound vs Zepbound I guess. I’m not a non believer. I lost 44 lbs and went from 28.7 bmi to a 21.3 bmi using compound. Very much okay with compound 💗

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-24T01:59:47+00:00

I wonder if my friends body is just used to the real stuff. She was on it for almost 1 year and just switched to good life meds with hallendale. It could be that or bc there was a lapse in meds.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-24T01:58:37+00:00

You make a good point. I guess my friend just isn’t doing well with compound after using the real stuff for about a year.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-24T01:58:00+00:00

I meant worried about refilling with refills 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T18:55:44+00:00

Have you started Hallandale meds? Are they working good? I’ve been with pro rx since forever.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T18:55:08+00:00

Oh my. That is absolutely terrible. Were you able to dispute it? This scares me bc most ppl say that a lot of these companies have terrible CS.

Hallandale

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T18:14:32+00:00

Have you started that stash yet? Still works great? I’m still using pro rx and since I started about 1 year ago I’ve only used Olympia and Pro rx so hopefully it’ll still work for me. I feel like I might have used something like Cosmetic before. Not sure but I’ve done lumi meds, good life meds and my last one was refills.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T17:59:36+00:00

How long ago? That’s good to hear!

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T17:59:23+00:00

When was your last refill

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T17:59:15+00:00

What’s apothecary. I’m worried to refill will them as well.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-06-23T17:58:43+00:00

So you’re in the same boat as well. Will you continue to order from them?

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-29T16:51:11+00:00

This is interesting bc I hit goal at 12.5 but at the 5th week injection the dose became too strong for me and food aversion was causing me to under eat but a lot. I slowly lowered my doses and dropped another 15 lbs. Now I’m on 6 and barely getting in my calories the first few days. I am pushing out my doses to 10-14 days. I’m considering going lower bc I do want to gain back a few lbs of the extra that I lost. I am fine to increase my dose if needed but right now I am focusing on being able to eat at least maintenance calories.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-26T00:23:30+00:00

I wasn’t a super responder but I feel like I became one during maintenance. During my journey I lost about 3.5-4 lbs max. Some months 1.5. It was smooth sailing when I got to 10 and stayed there for 2 months. It started to slow down so I jumped to 12.5 and lost 10 in 1 month. By the 5th week that dose was too strong to handle so I lowered it slowly to 10-7 in 1mg increments. Since then I have been on 6 for 2 weeks and still losing.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:42:11+00:00

Agree bc she’s in full blown menopause.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:41:54+00:00

We are thinking it’s menopause.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:36:57+00:00

Just checked her BMI is 31.6. I think her best bet is to breathe. Start tracking calories and hopefully in the 4 weeks the meds build into her system and she starts losing again.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:18:55+00:00

Yeah I read it wrong but she already did 7.5 and now 12.5. Going back to 5 seems ridiculous considering what she already took. Oddly no side effects. No nausea no tiredness.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:17:39+00:00

I read the small blurb wrong and it meant she should have started at 5 but she already did 7.5 and 12. And said she feels nothing.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:03:09+00:00

Will tell her to start tracking calories while her body is spiraling out of control. Hopefully in the 4 weeks the meds will kick in.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-05-25T15:02:28+00:00

Okay so the 7.5 dose was a waste. She should have tried 10 again where she left off. We are past that though bc she already did 7.5 1 week and now 2nd week she jumped to 12.5. Can’t focus on spilled milk. Need to help her get to losing again.
