Trying to titrate slowly but…..

I’m currently on 1.25 mg. I was hoping ideally I wouldn’t have to have a very high dose, but I’m still getting food noise and finding myself overeating sometimes. I definitely get fuller faster, but my hunger rages at night. I’m trying to eat more throughout the day to possibly combat this.

I had planned to go up to 1.5 mg this week, but should I jump to 1.7? Like I said I’ve been titrating extremely slowly and am having a little bit of success but I am still really fighting the food noise. I find that when I first increase dose the food noise seems to stop for a week or so and then it comes back ever so slightly and just keeps building. I’m so afraid of going up too high too fast and ending up in the ER like others though 🤣

Is Trillium working on a new pharmacy for additive free options for Sema (that are not Hallandale)

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Hallandale but alas they do not ship to my state. 🫠 would love to know if there is an action toward finding a second supplier for additive free sema (that ships to Alabama)

Thanks! 😊

Can anyone provide an update on Apollo Care Pharmacy?

I use Trillium and they offer additive free through Apollo Care (have had great experience with Apollo), but with the last order I made, i was told Apollo stopped compounding Sema. Also saw some posts that were evidence of some issues with their quality control (never experienced firsthand but was horrified when I saw pictures lol), which tracked with the info that they stopped compounding it.

I was told by Trillium that I would receive meds from VialsRX instead, and they were transferring my prescription over. When my meds were delivered, it was from Apollo! Lolol the vials looked clear and fine, and since I’m familiar with Apollo I wasn’t too worried. I did reach out to support because I was confused as I thought they had stopped compounding. They said from their end I would still be getting meds from VialsRX. The very next day I received the meds from them as well! (Love Trillium btw). I’m happy for the extra meds but it has me wondering, where will my next shipment come from 🤔 lol according to trillium and other sources they’ve stopped compounding, did I just get the last of their stock? Am I crazy to still hope Apollo continues to provide my meds? LOL I love additive free and Hallandale doesn’t ship to my state.

Can anyone provide any clarification with certainty on the status of ApolloCare?

Appreciation post for Rare by Rare Beauty

I was always intrigued by the notes of this one (I love pink pepper, ginger, pistachio, cocoa…) but kept myself from trying it because of how “basic” everyone said it was. (Like a boring vanilla).

Well I finally tried it and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised!! It’s such a spicy/sweet youthful scent! Kind of reminds me of Burberry goddess’s younger sister or something (without the lavender punch in the face lol).

I can’t stop sniffing my arm. I love the way it makes me feel like a pretty 20 year old on the cusp of 21 who just got out of the shower. 🤣

I can still smell it on my wrist the next day too! I encourage you to give it a try if you haven’t!

I don’t think Greenwich is working?

I was on sema for 3 months that came from Apollo care pharmacy. Worked great. Lost about 10 lbs. I wasn’t aiming for quick weight loss so I was happy with that. Appetite suppression was working great. I was on 0.5mg dose.

Then my telehealth switched pharmacies on me and I got Greenwich. Ummmm…..it’s like I’m injecting nothing into me? lol. Appetite is raging. I can’t stop eating. And I’m up to 1.2mg dose. WTH??? Anyone else have this experience with Greenwich?

Anyone else being “extra” now ever since the cellulitis post? Lol

Today was shot day and I was more nervous than usual 😅 I washed my hands probably half a dozen times and used about 3x as many alcohol wipes as I normally do HA!! I also inspected 4 different needles before finally landing on one. (I discarded the others because they looked “weird”). I do have minor OCD so this may have contributed to that. But hopefully I feel more back to normal next week 😂😂😂😂

Does trillium still use Apollo Care pharmacy?

Wanted to check because I LOVE Apollo and haven’t been able to find another telehealth that uses them ever since my current one stopped 🫠

Idk maybe it’s psychological, but I’ve been on it for like 4 months now and everyday that is a shot day I am PARCHED and drink a ton of water. I’ve read about people forgetting to drink and getting dehydrated, my experience has been the opposite lol.

▲ 10 r/SemaglutideCompound+1 crossposts

Hello all, I was previously on semaglutide for 2 months and decided to switch to tirzepatide because I was kind of misinformed and thought it would be “better” for me. I bought a 3 month supply so I’m kinda stuck with it for now. However, since I started taking it, I’ve noticed my food noise and appetite are stronger on tirz than they were on sema. I’ve been on tirz about a month now. Weight loss has been successful on both medications and I’ve been having minimal side effects but I realized I preferred the way my brain was on sema, if that makes sense…additionally it’s obviously more cost effective. Am I messing up my metabolism if I choose to switch back to sema? Especially since I’m stuck with Tirz at the moment….i don’t know what I should do…

I have been taking semaglutide with no additives for 3 months with gimme from Apollo pharmacy. I was happy with the results but decided I wanted to try tirz instead (right before the pro Rx fiasco). BIG MISTAKE. I should have stayed with sema.

But I got one vial of tirz from pro RX, started titrating up, and am now experiencing extreme food noise from stopping the sema, and I’ve gained the weight back.

Looked it up and apparently sema is better with silencing food noise?? I decided to try to order one month of sema from Apollo to titrate back up. I’ve pretty much given up on the tirz.

Well, now I am getting sema with B12 from what I assume to be Greenwich... I wanted to go to monthly rather than every 3 months because I didn’t like using the same vial. Idk if that’s why they picked Greenwich but I don’t need any additional B12. I messaged support and they immediately closed the conversation and I am unable to start a new chat thread. Really don’t understand. Support was very helpful the first time i cancelled the sema treatment. Now I can’t even message them.

I realize I made a lot of mistakes here 😓 has anyone used rift? What was your experience?
