r/SemaglutideCompound

Hi all. I'm supposed to start and I've received it (it's in the fridge now), but I'm REALLY scared. I hate throwing up, worse than pretty much anything in the world.

And we're leaving on vacation on Sunday for a week, so I've pretty much decided not to do ANYTHING with it until we come back.

Plus, I work from home, and I'm also scared if I take it I'll feel to awful to work ... so now I don't know when it's safe for me to start.

Oh, and just for funzies, I can't take zofran for anti-nausea because I have a low resting heart rate and it might not be safe. So I bought ginger ale, ginger capsules, and some accupressure wrist things.

Am I working myself up over nothing?!? Sorry to be such a baby.

I don’t want to sound dramatic but I’ve been on compounded semaglutide for exactly 3 weeks. I’m down 12.4 lbs (5.8% of my body weight). It has changed my life. It took me 3 months of grinding and killing myself last summer to lose 12 lbs. Since taking this a few weeks ago it has honestly made it a breeze to be healthy. No food cravings, no alcohol cravings, plenty of energy and no side effects. I am eating about 700-1200 healthy calories a day and I’m completely satisfied and shedding weight. If this continues I will be the biggest advocate of it to everyone that’s ever struggled with their weight. Also only $90 a month makes it insanely worth it. After being on it for almost a month I would pay 10x that price to stay on it because it has made me feel so good! If anyone is hesitant please go for it, I was extremely hesitant for a long time. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am a 5’10 mid 20s male, former college athlete and gained about 40 lbs after college to 220.

I’ve been on for 2 years and lost 60 pounds. Had a family tragedy and gained back 15. I’m on the max dose and finding I’m not hungry but I’m constantly thinking about food. Any thoughts on micro dosing? Any tips?

Does anyone use them for their GLP1? I just signed up with them for the Tirzepatide ? I know these are the compounded and not the name brand. I’m a bit nervous to try this. I’ve been researching glp1’s for awhile and see the benefits. I need to lose 50 pounds from menapause weight gain. I don’t have diabetes and over my health is good. I’m just really nervous about doing it. Also I don’t really have food issues. Don’t think a lot about food and don’t eat a whole lot on a daily basis. I’ve tried calorie deficits and working out but the scale doesn’t budge.

I started my GLP1 journey 8 weeks back.

Started with 0.25mg - Noveltreat by Sun Pharma. Did total 4 weeks on 0.25

Jumped to 0.5mg for next 3 weeks.

Now on 1mg from last 2 week - switched to Semaglyn from Zydus.

I did not responded to GLP 1 in any way. No hunger suppression, no side effects, no fullness. I feel a little upset in my stomach when I wake up. I had to take Pan D a lot as I experienced gas build up on few random days.

How much further should I try on GLP 1. Should I complete 1mg for 4 weeks and stop if not successful or Should I further jump to 1.7mg to keep on testing.

My Endo says it happens sometimes and as per him next alternate is going to Trizepatide. I really don't want to move to Trizepatide as they are out of my budget.

Any help is appreciated.

I am worried my vials are not effective anymore.
I started June 2025 and I have titrated up to 1mg. I did not feel any side effects on .25mg and .50mg, no weight loss but I did lose inches and the medication did help with not overeating and not binging.

I did two weeks of .75mg and I felt it SUPER strong and I was very happy with the reduction in food noise! My third week of .75mg I did not feel the medicine working at all. I had zero side effects that I sometimes get after the shot (nerve sensations) I questioned all week if I took the shot in a bad spot.
I just took my first 1mg dose 2 days ago and I feel NOTHING. In fact I am super hungry today.

I am getting worried there is something wrong with my vials and I am injecting medicine that has lost it's potency?

I Impulsively went through with switching to Embody from JoinPolly and now I am feeling some regret about it. I’ve had a great experience with JoinPolly so far even though communication kind of sucks the med works great. I’m in the middle of moving states and worried about money so I saw that Embody had the $79 price lock which would save me $100 a month from what I’m taking now.

I’m currently on 2.5mg and JoinPolly uses Hallandale pharmacy which has been great so far, however, Embody has me on 2.24mg of sema now mixed with B12 and I didn’t want my dose lowered as I’m still 6 lbs away from my goal weight. I wasn’t aware that it was going to be lowered before the script was sent to the pharmacy. Should I try Embody or just keep my current prescription with Polly since it’s been good so far and just suck it up paying the $179? I’m feeling anxious and not sure what to do.

My prescription is sent to Seven Cells Pharmacy from what I read is legit but I feel like Hallandale is better. I need some advice.

I didn't realize state eligibility could be an issue until I was already partway through an intake form. It seems like something that should be clearly explained before you spend time entering all your information.

Has anyone else run into this when getting prescribed semaglutide?

For people who have tried both, which one gave you less acid reflux?

Hi I am getting back on glp 1s seeing prices from $79 and I am wondering if Carebox.org is a legitimate option I already subscribed to their service saw the dr who seemed very nice and professional (she had a list of all my medications already and already called in a Zofran rx) now I’m just waiting for the Semaglutide compound. I’m really nervous because there’s almost no reviews on trust pilot and she said the $79 was for the “first 250” patients. Did I just mess up really bad because there isn’t any information about it I could find on here it is rated 4.0 out of 5 stars according to only 11 reviews on trust pilot but I was going to go with embody before and I paid $79 after a huge phone call blowup I had at them for charging me almost $200 but they also have a promo locked in for life of $79. Is that a good site for that price? I guess I’m just going to wait and see if I get my medication ok but i don’t know how long that will usually take and am really nervous again about lack of reviews. Next month I may go with Monday.com can anyone help me?

Ugh, I hate that my brain does not work this way. I wish I could figure it out on my own, but I know so many of your "get it". Thank goodness!

Here is the RX I am finishing up. I take .5/25 units each week and it works GREAT! Compounded Semaglutide/B12 1mg/1mg/0.5mL

Here is the new order I was just RX'd and I am not sure how to dose the equivalent. Compounded Semaglutide/B3/B5 2.5mg/5mg/10mg/1mL - 2mL

The new RX appears stronger?? I am using the syringes with 100 units on each. For my last RX, .5 = 25 units. How many units should I inject to get .5 with the new RX?

The prescriber gave these instructions-  inject 0.4ml (40 units) subcutaneously once weekly (0.4ml is 1mg per week). However, I want to be sure and only take the equivalent of what I am currently doing, as it works amazing for me and stretches out each RX longer.

Thanks for any help in answering my question. =)

So, I have been going through noom and have 2 vials left which should take me through the end of October, but I canceled and went with Pomegranate Health, who sent me 2 months in advance, both Pomegranate vials have a BUD date of 10/28/26. Does anyone know of o can continue to use these after my Noom vials are done, or am I out 2 vials?

New at this and I'm trying to understand if it's possible to get a script for say 4mg per month but only actually use 0.5mg per injection (so kerping the vial in the fridge for 4mo. Any guidance is massively appreciated.

So I don't know anyone personally who is on or has used semaglutide. So I'm coming here to ask because Google and ChatGPT have me confused. For the most part it's all eat protein protein protein. They both say I don't have to follow a strict diet or exercise regimen, but then I come here and I'm reading all kinds of things. So do I really need to follow a strict diet and exercise? I've never been good at diets and I can barely exercise due to lower back injury and such. Any suggestions or clarification would be helpful. Thanks.

Does anyone know if Embody sends auto-injector pens or is it vial and needle? I asked their chat bot and it said auto-injector pens, but the instructions they sent say to measure 10 units, so I am a bit confused as I can't poke myself with a traditional needle, so I was hoping it was auto-injector pens.

Hi so f26 here I have lost around 80lbs using a glp1. With that being said I’m starting to relax a little more on my dieting since I am at a healthy weight. I am on maintenance but also i wouldnt mind losing another 5lbs. Regardless i allow myself to eat fast food sometimes in moderation. Maybe a few times a month i will swing through and grab something quick and everytime i feel sick and end up puking later that night. Im not overeating fast food. Maybe a small burger and a medium fry and that will do me in. It’s starting to make me feel like i will never be able to enjoy food i once did. I eat healthy most of the time it’s just sometimes i want a little something fun.

Will I have to eat healthy forever if i stay on maintenance? Does anyone else have this problem? Any tips?

EDIT--THIS POST IS ABOUT THE FDA RECALL FOR APOLLO CARE SEMAGLUTIDE

I added that head because my simple question obviously was relevant to many so I want to ensure anyone who needs to sees it. Will cross post in a sema sub too.

OP:

Do some of our telehealths still use Apollo Care to distribute semaglutide? I’m asking because I received a score of FDA reports today on recalls of sema. I’m happy to elaborate if it’s relevant. I know it’s or tirz, but many of our providers offer both, so I am curious.

Hi! I have 5mg of sema and am wondering how much bac water to put in it. I’ve seen a ton of conflicting info online and am hoping to just get a clear answer. I’ll be at the starting dose of .25, although I’m considering starting at .5, would love to know about experiences there too. Thanks!

I took my first shot today. I’m so excited for this too work.
