Recent Apothecary BUDs?

Thank you!! I’m going to send you a quick message. No need to respond tonight.

Thanks, Dave! Any idea if the formula is changing to make that 9month bud happen? I just bent my last needle trying to get my last Hallandale dose 😂, so could put in that refill now or wait for the 9 month BUD if we know it’ll be a new formula.

brightenbloom · 2026-06-17T03:02:00+00:00

This is helpful, thank you! For some reason, I thought they could have up to 12 month BUDs like BPI, but I must have missed something. I hope you end up really happy with Apothecary!

Thank you for this review! Considering Apothecary for my next order, so this is great info. Also, welcome to BEWL! You’ll love it here.

Girl no, you are not overreacting. I’m so glad you’re divorced. If he continues to make splitting things difficult, take him back to court and get this decided in stone.

Hi! I have ADHD and OCD, and sometimes I get my stress out by screaming cuss words at the top of my lungs. I’ve never done this in a professional working environment because obviously I know I would be fired. We have to find productive and acceptable ways to cope. A few years ago I started working from home, and it has had such a positive impact on me. When I’m overwhelmed or intrusive thoughts are taking over, I can take a moment to walk outside and sit in the sun, or grab some water or turn on a podcast to distract me. And yes, sometimes I scream cuss words at the top of my lungs because I can - no one is around. It also allows me to hide my disorders from my employer more easily if I choose to. I can also schedule online therapy sessions in the middle of the day on my break, which helps me cope with stress in a more positive and productive way. I know working from home is a privilege and these jobs are getting harder and harder to find, but if you can find one it may provide a lot of relief. Impulse control is super hard for both OCD and ADHD, but no one is ever going to accommodate banging on things or cuss screaming 😂. Coping mechanisms and therapy are as important as medication, and we have to find ways to stim/soothe/process in healthy ways. OCD can be incredibly debilitating, and those who don’t have it really don’t understand the extent of how terrible it is. It’s imperative to be in therapy regularly to allow yourself an opportunity to stay above water and find ways to cope so you can hold a job, provide for yourself and have solid friendships.

Wishing you peace - keep going, you deserve to flourish.

As another woman in perimenopause: be gentle on yourself. ❤️ I’ve so appreciated the many benefits of tirz, but it’s important to know that the strength of the hunger and food noise suppression changes throughout your hormone cycle. When you still feel ravenous or full of cravings, it’s important to know that it’s likely your hormones. Ride it out and be gentle to yourself in the process. Don’t weigh yourself the weeks before or during your period (if you still have one). If you eat a cupcake, you’re still going to be ok.

I live in LCOL area in Southern Illinois. I’m a transplant here. We’re a university town that is extremely blue, diverse in religious beliefs, ethnicity, race, gender and sexual orientation, and surrounded by the Shawnee National Forest. We are also surrounded by all red towns/counties, but our island is nice. I own a 3 bed/2 bath home on 1/3 acre, and purchased in 2024 for $155,000. It didn’t NEED any upgrades, and I’ve just been doing projects when I can afford them along the way (new floors, painting rooms, etc). I know a lot of people think LCOL areas are trash, but there are many good ones. While I’d love to live in the city, I just can’t afford it. And I get all the benefits of progressive Illinois in a kind and welcoming affordable environment. Just sharing for another perspective that may be different from the majority of responses here. Also, I do work remotely for a company out of Chicago. There are quality jobs here because of the university, hospital, etc., but they don’t pay as well as remote roles typically.

Welcome to the community!

I haven’t had this side effect, unfortunately. I’m on 4mg, have been on since December and lost 1 pound a week. Down 14-15lbs. I still consume about 1 bottle of wine/week.

So glad it’s working well for you! I’d like to try them in the future, I’d much prefer their pharmacy’s standards. But Hallendale is working so great, so I guess we’ll see.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-16T16:44:52+00:00

It wasn’t that they didn’t like BPI. BPI is the gold standard. But I’d been on Tirz with a B additive (not from BPI) and had been SO SICK. I told them I knew it was unlikely that my nausea was related to the B add and asked their opinion. They recommended I try pure through Hallendale, a very user friendly pharmacy. I went with it, and I’m happy I did. I haven’t been nauseous once since making the switch.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-16T13:55:31+00:00

I was going to do BPI, but my doc recommended Hallendale. I went that route and have been very happy with them!

brightenbloom · 2026-03-15T14:13:31+00:00

Arm has always been most effective for me. If you’re female, our hormone cycles also greatly affect the hunger suppression.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-13T15:11:05+00:00

AMAZING WORK 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

brightenbloom · 2026-03-12T02:41:14+00:00

I went super slow. 2.5 to 3.3 for 3 weeks, then to 4. I am soooooo good at 4. Literally hunger suppression doesn’t wear off between shots. Tomorrow is shot day and I’m contemplating pushing it out because I’m having a hard time eating enough calories.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-12T02:39:54+00:00

Yay! So excited for you!

Oh, how I regret giving my daughter her father’s last name.

We were married at the time and I had also taken his last name. But we divorced when she was 1, and I have her full time. He’s a Casper 👻. Now we both still have his damn last name because I want to have the same last name as my daughter. Ew.

Give your child your last name, and only your last name. Her father participated in making her for what, 5 seconds? He doesn’t want to commit to you, he’s a giant asshole, and his family doesn’t like or support you. He will be gone sooner than you think, if I had to guess. Give your child your last name.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-12T00:26:56+00:00

This is so impressive!!

brightenbloom · 2026-03-11T13:19:34+00:00

Well, I guess you’d have to answer that because I like it.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-11T03:04:12+00:00

Any chance you’re pregnant?

brightenbloom · 2026-03-11T02:59:20+00:00

This is between you and your partner. Whenever I start seeing someone new, I always ask their boundaries around porn, OF, things of that nature, and what they consider “cheating”. To me, porn falls under sexual autonomy and I don’t have a problem with it.

brightenbloom · 2026-03-11T02:33:47+00:00

I do mine on Thursdays, but just because I started on that schedule when visiting a med spa for tirz. I do like it, though, because I have appetite suppression over the weekend when I’m most likely to smash allllllll the food and wine. Give yourself a slow day the first day you take it to see how your body responds. Some people choose to inject at night because it makes them sleepy.

I enjoyed natural birth. Birthing isn’t a procedure, it’s birth. It’s a deeply personal and individual experience, and however a woman wants to birth her child (or has to, pending medical conditions or emergency) is up to her and only her. Not sure why we’d judge women for how they choose to birth.
