u/Complete_Treat_476

Just started today and took 0.25mg. Reconstituted my vial with 2ml of bac and transferred to a pen- I figure if I’ll be using it daily it makes sense over syringes. I’m also on Reta and never had any side effects at all, so was expecting the same from this.

Pheeeeew I was wrong. No flushing really but I started feeling nauseous after about 10 minutes. Went to the sunbed shop half an hour after I took it and did 8 minutes. The nausea did not go away- fatigue also set in and I had an hour long nap (I’m not a nap person usually) before work. I took it at 10am and it’s now 7pm and only just subsiding. Going to go down to half the dose tomorrow and see how that goes. I guess it goes to show not to trust a lack of sides from one peptide to mean similar for others- might seem obvious but I definitely regret not starting with a smaller dose now. I’m planning on 3 sunbed sessions a week for the next 2 weeks until I go on holiday.

I currently have fake tan on so I’m hoping that by the weekend I’ll scrub my tan off and find some Mediterranean goddess underneath it- we can live in hope.

For example, my full face takes about 150u, so that isn’t an issue, but we all know certain places wear off a lot faster. In a months time I’ll want to do another lip flip, but won’t need any anywhere else. Having said that, using 4u of a 100u vial and the rest having to be thrown away seems obscene. I know I can do tox facials etc with it but I’ve done them before and never noticed much of a difference.

Are you freezing it and hoping it doesn’t lose potency? Or just throwing the rest away? Or has anyone found another solution? In my ideal world a 10u vial would exist but the lowest I’ve found is 50u!

I see a lot of videos for reducing nasal flare (e.g injecting at the sides of the nostrils) or lifting the tip (injecting under the nose), but I’ve only seen a couple where they inject the dilator naris muscle specifically, to slim down a bulbous tip. Does anyone have any resources or videos they could share for this?

I have exactly 4 units leftover from my full face tox so would love to try it (as long as I don’t need any touch ups!).

I’m a 5’9 F starting at 153lb, just want to lose the last 15lb but have found it very difficult and been trying for months. I also have type 1 diabetes. Did my first 1mg dose on Monday.

At first I was disappointed- I woke up the next day and wanted breakfast. I was expecting an instant ‘switch off’ from wanting food like how some people describe it, but that wasn’t the case. Ate a protein bar at 6am and didn’t want anything else until lunchtime at 2pm. Didn’t grab snacks constantly. Went to the cinema where me and my husband always order a beer each- got an alcohol free one instead because I just didn’t fancy a drink. He got a massive bucket of my favourite popcorn and I didn’t feel like eating any. It’s a great balance of being able to eat still, and enjoy meals, but without wanting food all the time.

Today has been the same- at breakfast 6 hours ago and not hungry yet, and my work colleague has bought a ton of bakery things for lunch which would usually have me salivating at the smell but I feel oddly neutral.

0 side effects at all, and no noticeable affect on my diabetes!
