I had a scary moment with my cat. She is fine now. But for a moment I was thinking I had to take her somewhere for emergency services and realized I have no idea where I would take her. Then I started looking it up, but doesn't seem like there are any 24 vet services around here. Figured I'd make this post now for if something happens in the future. Thank you.
I have depression and anxiety and I have tried at least 6 different antidepressants and none have ever worked for me. I even have a xanax prescription, it doesn't calm me down, it keeps me anxious but makes me tired.
I also have severe seasonal allergies, and again have tried ALL the big brands. None work for me. Most just make me drowsy and keep the allergies.
I was diagnosed with ADHD (but at this point it feels like everyone has that) and again, I tried two different medications, both pumped me full of negative side effects.
Any time I am given pain medications for random surgeries/injuries, I end up not using them because they make me so nauseous.
Even random things like prescription tretinoin didn't do anything for my skin, and actually caused pigmentation loss.
I was so skeptical of trying tirz, especially since I pay for it out of pocket and it's a pretty penny. I really thought it wouldn't work for me since no other medications really do. But for the first time in my life.... I can truly say something works as advertised... and holy shit.
I am only two weeks in (just took 3rd shot today). I am only taking 2mg. I am set to titrate up this week but 2mg is working so well I don't see the point just yet. I have ZERO negative side effects. I have lost exactly 2 lb per week (which is especially miraculous since I had my period this week and that usually results in a large upwards spike). My appetite has decreased significantly. I don't obsess over food. I genuinely feel full after a single serving of something.
I don't really know why I'm making this post. I guess I am just feeling so grateful to finally be a positive story. And it makes me actually want to try new medications for depression, because maybe somewhere out there is a drug that would actually make me feel better. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself with this post. But holy shit. Thank you tirzepetide, can't wait to see my results in three months.

4/22 Paid the $75, made an appointment with an RN and filled out the intake forms.
4/29 Did the intake appointment -- the nurse called me 10 minutes late. This is fine of course, but I was anxious during those 10 minutes that maybe I had been scammed lol. So if you wait a little, it should be fine.
4/29 Received the summary sent later that day.
4/30 I received the invoice and paid the remaining $275 (I chose BPI because it was the cheapest.. curious why people choose the more expensive options?)
5/5 Got the delivery confirmation email and alerts from UPS.
5/6 Received the medication! I stayed home because I thought I would need to sign for the package, but they just left it at my door. Then I did my first injection!
Feeling positive for the first time in a long time and hoping for the best.
