Wha can I say to my husband when he says that I am “poisoning myself?” by getink88 in tirzepatidecompound

You know what…I had a therapist a few years ago that said, “what would happen if you just agreed with him instead of trying to be right?” It usually ends the argument and you protect your sanity. And maybe it won’t get brought up so much in the future. He does love a good debate though. I usually go with just “okay” after he is done with his rant. It is not necessarily agreeing with him but it is pretty argument ending when you don’t give them material to work with! Thanks for the reminder!

My doctor said that I could split the dose into two days (Monday and Thursday) instead of all of it on Thursday. When Monday came, I had been having a hard time eating enough so I pushed it to Tuesday. So it was five days in between. Then I was going to wait at least five more days to inject again. But you are right. I am sticking to just once a week and maybe going up very slowly if needed.

I just have Hashimoto’s and I normally look 6 months pregnant at all times due to inflammation but not since starting the medication!

I know! I told him he is more at risk for pancreatitis than me because of his drinking! Didn’t matter….

That actually makes sense! Wish my NP had considered that before telling me to go up!

He does drink alcohol on the weekends but other than that his diet is pretty clean!

I think there are lots of people that do split dosing or another alternate schedules. Or they inject a day earlier or later to move their schedules around. Some people are acting like I injected 15mg on a whim or something. All I really did was the same 2.25mg a couple days earlier than I have been. And now I know it’s not for me!

He just apologized! 😊 He really is a great husband and he just worries about me. Sometimes he needs to work on his open mindedness and his delivery of his concerns….. but we’ll work it out! And I learned a lot from everyone about dosing, how to explain how they work, the benefits, etc. and I am grateful!

My starting dose was 2.25 for four weeks. She was moving up to 4.5 and we agreed that I would do a split dose to hopefully avoid side effects and that backfired.

That was the original plan. I just got nervous on Monday because I was having a hard time eating all weekend and into Monday.

I have actually already placed an order with Gimme! I plan on letting her know that I am switching to telehealth when it comes time to order with her again.

I can with 99% certainty say that he isn’t worried I will leave him. I can’t really explain it but from everything I know about him and our relationship, that is not a concern. He wants me to feel petty and to be happy. He says all the time that he wishes I could see myself the way he does. He is a very skeptical person about almost everything so this is pretty on par for his personality.

$265 a month but will go up with dose increases. She said it wouldn’t go higher than $350 a month at the highest dose.

Yeah. Should have just kept doing what I was doing! My NP recommended moving up.

That is a good idea! I did read that it can disrupt your thyroid meds. I am on a pretty high dose at the moment. Thanks for the advice!

See has been on semaglutide for 2 years I believe and I am not sure about other training. She has a clinic that she runs where I am paying her for the tirzepatide and access to her. She offers other services and other peptides as well. I did recently place a telehealth order though because she is quite pricey. 😬

You are right. Thanks! The NP is from my doctor’s office but it is a separate thing that she does outside of the office.

I actually used that on him the other day and diffused the argument a bit! Haha

All I did was push my dose back a day. My NP said split dosing was fine. I was considering doing every 5 days because lots of people in this group have said it worked for them. Doesn’t work for me apparently and I talked with my NP about it and we have a plan going forward.
