r/tirzepatidecompound

I know these posts are coming in left and right. I apologize for adding to the chaos. But are these floaters? I included the lot number on the vial. I’ve reached out to new life and rift but I haven’t heard anything back just yet. I imagine they are experiencing mass amounts of messages and calls.

I’m still new to this journey and have only ever been on Prorx. I have a few shots left and was expecting to start Hyalo in a few weeks.

Yesterday my hubby, son and I all checked my vials from Hyalo. Nothing. Today, fiber like things floating and particulates that are difficult to see on camera. ETA: Lot HT-026

My provider has the amount I’m taking in milliliters, and I cannot figure out how many milligrams it is despite many attempts. Here is the prescription label. Can someone please tell me what 1.5 mL is equal to in milligrams?

Edit: I guess I should’ve added that I have dyscalculia, which is a learning disability specific to numbers/math, hence my struggles. I didn’t think it was necessary to qualify my question with this. This really ruined my day when I was already struggling a lot. Thank you to the one kind person.

Trillium rejoins the top tier! Pomegranate, Ola, and Good Life return to the list, while PreventiveMD and Collective make their debut. Fifty410 narrowly hangs on.

Gimme falls off. Its recommendation rate on slide 3 is after removing a wave of suspiciously repetitive votes recommending Gimme (and Amble) and downvoting Rift. Suspiciously similar to what they were being called out for here on the sub, at around the same time during the survey’s final days.

I still don't understand this Rift specific beef 😂

Also I couldn’t reliably identify people who may have been incentivized to participate. Besides those can still be real people with real opinions, BUT incentives can skew the results, so I flagged that the rate may still be inflated. Going forward however telehealths that incentivize survey participation will be disqualified. Someone remind me to announce this for the next survey lol

For pharmacies, Hyalo didn’t claim a top spot like Apothecary did as a ProRx dupe, possibly because of its recent crimping issues and such.

Respondents are still overwhelmingly women, but slightly more male and slightly younger this time around.

70% answered the concentration question correctly. But among the listed telehealths, Trillium and Big Easy users scored below the survey average. Among those who started tirzepatide within the last three months, Big Easy, Fifty410, and Trillium users scored below the new user average. I’ve included those charts below because I hit the 20 picture limit for the slides.

I’m not sure what this tells us exactly, but I found it interesting. Does it reflect the guidance or lack thereof that people are receiving from these telehealths? Or do some telehealths just attract the kinds of people who would need extra help? Either way, I hope providers and platforms give patients the tools they need to really understand concentration and dosing.

Handholding is helpful, but ultimately patients are measuring and injecting their own medication without supervision. They probably should understand some of these things better. And that goes for all telehealths. We can do better than even the 82% that pomegranate users reached.

Anything y'all found interesting?

Hello friends! I shared my 6 month progress, and wanted to share my 12 month progress as well. Starting weight was 303, current weight is 211.4.

It has been a year of trial and error and listening to my body. Tirz has been life changing for me in so many ways and I’m so thankful I have access to it.

Keep on keeping on everyone 🫶🏻 You’re worth it!

I finally made it to One-derland!! I don’t know the last time I saw this number on the scale, but it’s easily been 15+ years. Starting weight 259, goal 165, 43F, 5’9”. So happy I found this community - my insurance only covers tirz for diabetes and compounded has been a godsend!

I've taken progress pictures every three months (painful as it was!) and I honestly couldn't see much difference between the 0, 3 and 6 month pictures. Just in the last couple of months I've started to feel my loss is noticeable. I can really see it in the 9 month pictures! I guess the paper towel theory is true. I still have about 30 pounds to go.

I know not everyone in these parts loves progress pictures, but they were so helpful to me when I was having a hard time or felt like I would never see progress. If you're struggling, keep with it, because the progress will become visible!

This shirt has always been too small for me. I got it at a Flight of the Conchords concert with my brother and it was the biggest size they had. I wore it tonight and it fits perfectly.

That's all. Just wanted to celebrate a bit.

(Pre-tirz pic for comparison. I'm down 100 lbs.)

Just posted on the Rift sub. Available in all states including California but not in Mississippi. Any dose and exclusive yo Vitascripts/ Healthwealth. Up to 14 day wait. Please read the flyer closely. Also only use the Reddit link to order.

EDIT: Given the BUD is 11/26/26 on all 3 vials, it's possible they sent me a 2 month supply (and as a side note: the BUD is only 7 weeks from today, so even that doesn't make sense as week 8 would be expired). The service team made it sound like I was actually sent a 4 month supply, but I will update this post if/when they confirm. If I was truly only sent a 2 month supply, it actually makes this a steal as it'd be 6 months worth of Tirz (albeit 2 of the 6 bottles past the BUD) for $405.

Posting this as a heads-up for anyone considering MintMed’s 4-month prepaid compounded tirzepatide offer.

I paid $420 ($105/month) for the 4-month option, which advertises “all doses included.” I’m prescribed 15 mg/week.

I received 3 vials from White Label Pharmacy (NOVA). All three are labeled:

Tirzepatide/Glycine 20 mg/5 mg per mL — 3 mL vial

Here’s the problem:

• Each vial has 60 mg of tirzepatide (20 mg/mL × 3 mL)
• At 15 mg/week, that's exactly 4 doses per vial
• 3 vials = 180 mg = 12 weeks
• A 4-month/16-week supply at 15 mg/week requires 240 mg
• That means I appear to be short an entire 60 mg vial

What makes it even stranger is that my pharmacy label says:

“Inject 75 units (15 mg) once weekly × 8 weeks.”

But 75 units = 0.75 mL. A 3 mL vial only contains four 0.75 mL injections. For that vial to actually last 8 weeks at 15 mg/week, it would need 120 mg / 6 mL, not 60 mg / 3 mL.

I contacted MintMed support and was told:

“Your vial 3 should last for 2 months.”

I sent them a photo showing that all three vials appear to be the same 3 mL, 20 mg/mL product.

I’m waiting for them to correct this and send the missing medication, but wanted to post this so anyone ordering the 4-month deal — especially at the 15 mg dose — checks the concentration, vial volume, and total milligrams they actually receive.

I’ll update the post if MintMed resolves it.

Just wanted to share! I started with semaglutide in May but the side effects were kicking my butt, I was exhausted! So I switched to Tirz with Pom/Hallandale and am currently at 7mg/wk. I have PMOS and have been insulin resistant for as long as I can remember. My first "pre-diabetic" warning came at around 3rd grade and I have battled my weight since bf then. Being a child of the nineties I was put on high carb, low fat diets which just worsened the issue. In my 20s I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer-thankfully it was easily removed and I'm good there with meds. But all of that compounded to make losing weight incredibly difficult. The only time I've been able to manage my weight were when I was on diet pills(glorified amphetamines). This is the first time in my life I feel in control of food instead of the other way around. I don't mind that I'm taking it slow and I'm using this opportunity to really lean I to changing my lifestyle and not just leaning on the 💉 All that to say, this med is a miracle! Good luck to everyone on this journey and don't let ignorant ppl bring you down for doing what you need to do to be healthy! I wish you all much success!

EDITED TO ADD: Problem solved, one of you lovely people provided a link to a picture on how to flip just the very top of the white plastic cover, not the whole thing. Will leave this up for others like myself to find. THANK YOU!!! 🫶

Hallandale has changed their vials and I’ve no idea how to open them. I’m guessing I just yank it off? The white plastic top is all one piece, it’s loose and spins but does not unscrew.

Wanted some experienced advice before I do something stupid. I don’t need it for several more weeks and I didn’t want to try to yank it off if there’s nothing under it but the rubber stopper. So if you’ve tackled this beast and won, please share your technique.

And why o why is the vial now tinted brown? Makes seeing any discoloration or sediment so much harder! I miss the old clear vials, so straightforward. Enshittification comes for every single thing I guess. Sigh.
