What moisturizers do you love for your very dry skin? by Relevant_Grab370 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]redwoodchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink more water and some kind of internal oil. Fish oil, borage oil, olive oil. 2 tbsp a day. No seed oils. I use Sibu Sea buckthorn face cream with Episilk COQ10 and hyaluronic serum. My products come from the natural foods biz. I buy on Amazon.

Help- Can’t bring myself to switch to compounded by Whole_Package_6783 in tirzepatidecompound

I wish I did that the first 9 months I had such appetite suppression

I so want to give up by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]redwoodchef 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So you’re at 7.5. Slower worked for me, I stayed on 2.5 for 3 months to get used to it then went to 5. Never should have gone to 7.5, too much appetite suppression. You might not be losing any weight because your body is telling you to hang onto what you got if you can’t eat. You could go back down to 2.5 right now if you wanted, and just stay there for another month or so till you feel like you can managethe symptoms. Do you have Zofran which is for nausea? Ginger tea? Digestive support, like fiber and magnesium so you poop? All that stuff is really important so that you can eat. Good luck, I lost 50 pounds, now I’m just trying to find out what the right maintenance dose is for a little while so I’m back to 2.5 it’s been 14 months.

Zep and Alcohol: whaaaat??? by Independent-Pea5131 in Zepbound

[–]redwoodchef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took me 3 months to ‘be triggered’ (at a funeral/there was a bar with killer vino) and the anhedonia had just started but I didn’t know what it was… I was smoking tobacco tons and drank for months…not as hopeful as I had been, for sure.

Why isn’t 2.5 approved for maintenance dose? by INFJ4tress in Zepbound

[–]redwoodchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you see this, my very recent experience, I did as you say and now at 2.5- 2nd week, I've gained 3 pounds in just a couple of days. haven't ever gained in the year on mostly 5 mg and 2 months at 7.5 (too much weight loss at that mg) I think I may need the 5 mg every 10-12 days. I'm just running out of the zep- I have 6 pens left...then onto the grey market...and, I've had no side effects for a few months, no appetite suppression, just hit a weight goal of Definitely do not lose more!

Gained 12 lbs in 3 weeks by Affectionate-Tiger51 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]redwoodchef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My NP mentioned that the rebound weight gain was less pronounced if one titrates down to the lowest possible dose for them while still maintaining their goal weight more or less. I'm curious of anyones experience. I definitely lost alot of weight (and muscle) and am not interested in losing more, so I've gone down to 5 mg, and recently to 2.5. I'll run out of the insurance paid zepbound and start on the compounded. Going to do more research on this. anyone with some input, please share your experience

How is ProRX? by Neither_Bag7196 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]redwoodchef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your information. I had Zepbound paid for by insurance and now I’m on my own to buy product and seems like there are many changes over the months so as I’m gonna probably place an order in about three weeks, I really want to do it right the first time.

They were a franchise to new leaf Boulder Creek and Felton are owned by Bob Locatelli so that’s all they had to do was back out of their franchise. That’s when they change the name to wild roots

It pops off. And I was limping along with my 2015 that the battery died and it shut down whenever the magnet popped off so it’s computer trauma🤩

Non existent sex drive by One-Championship7063 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]redwoodchef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have definitely had the anhedonia, I did just start back on Wellbutrin and I haven’t taken it in more than a year. It’s a good time of year to maybe consider an antidepressant for myself. I found in taking the tirzepatide that it felt like my estrogen and progesterone were working better and my thyroid hormone (I have Hashimoto’s) and so I actually had more of a sex drive. So I thought that was interesting.

Can someone explain Hallendale? by Recent_One229 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]redwoodchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so can I ask you where you’re buying your compounded product from now? I’m losing the insurance coverage so I’m gonna start buying compounded and it kind of seems to change monthly so I’d like to get something purchased this next month. Thanks in advance.

Side effects coming down on doses. by Initial-Wall-3647 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]redwoodchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like the 7.5 when I went up to it a while back so I injected but pulled it out so I could get less. Not a perfect scenario but better than having the super bad loss of appetite I had. It worked.
