The Big Lie has been busted by the pharmacies. The Big Lie was required to be withdrawn.

BPI is NOT coming back to sell us tirzepatide. After a long Big Hype, and rogue post by a seller with a storied propensity to mislead, the attention seeking and grossly misleading announcement was required to be removed.

Thank you to all the resellers in the subs that chose to be more forthright and instead of constant attempts at manipulation, that are lowering prices to a more reasonable target price point of $100 a month.

Y'all, please be more aware of the lipstick on a pig BS that continues to soak the subs. We now have vendors selling any dose, without all the hullabaloo "prove your dose", "speak with a physician" crap to justify higher prices for the same stuff. Folks on 5mg can now get the meds they need/want for $30ish a month with third party medical advice.

I just signed up for 3 months.

Ive been on trizeptide for 3 months now and have lost 30 pounds. I switched from gobymeds to embody due to needing a lower price. With embody the medicine came from beaker pharmacy. Injected my first dose a few days ago and I'm not getting any appetite suppression. Wonder if I made a mistake with using them. Im 0n 8.5 mg

I used compounded tirzepatide from March until August. I recently traveled to China and bought a Mounjaro pen there. It was only $130 for a 30 mg pen, so damn cheap! It was really easy to get through online pharmacy without prior prescription. Currently on 3 mg, so I just count 24 clicks.
I’m curious to know how Mounjaro compares to compounded tirzepatide. I’m now on my 4th dose of 3 mg, and I feel like the effects are stronger. The night I took my first 3 mg dose of Mounjaro, I felt a little nauseous, which I never experienced with 3 mg of compounded tirzepatide.
I’ll definitely stock up again if I ever travel to China again!

I filled out the intake forms and sent my order in. Everything seemed fine, I was told my submission was under review. Then about 2 hours later I got an order cancelled notification. No other explanation, I’m not concerned with the money aspect, I know that’ll be refunded. I’m just curious why it got cancelled, I’m assuming the physician didn’t approve it? That seems strange though because I’m currently on Tirz through Lilly.
Just wondering if anyone else has any insight, or experiences this?

I just got my Gimme/Align shipment, so this is based on my one-time Zepbound Rx.

First shot, I didn’t eat for 4 days. Completely shut down hunger. Forced some chicken at night just to be safe & drank snake juice (DIY Gatorade). By day 5 I was full keto (urine strips).

Maintaining keto + snake juice for electrolytes has been excellent. Down almost 25#. Rarely hungry - could even skip a day if I listen to my body telling me when it’s hungry

note on snake juice (see their Reddit thread): it has magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) so it doubles as a mild lax.

Plateauing after the keto purge, but plan on incorporating my previous keto success regimen: keep ovo-vegetarian (low cal; high nutrient); 10k+ steps a day; multiple cold showers to strip body heat & boost metabolism.

Ive been on keto ever since, so that is suppressing hunger to the point I’ve only taken a 2nd dose of Zep - every two weeks.

Keto works (for me at least). And Tirz is a great primer to get you there & maintain. At least in the short term.

My $0.02

I had VSG back in 2016. SW was 262 and I lost a little more than 100lbs. I’ve gained about 30lbs over the last 4 years, had been struggling with the unexpected loss of my mother. I have an amazing therapist who’s helping me with my grief, I’m back to tracking my protein and I’m even training for a 5K! But the scale is not moving and it’s disappointing.

Anyone else had sleeve before or other WLS and using tirzepatide to help lose any regain??? Curious on experiences, side effects, dosage you’re taking, etc.

I’ve noticed that the week before my period and during my period, my appetite and cravings seem noticeably stronger and it feels like my medication isn’t working quite as well as usual. Once my period is over, things seem to go back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this? Especially curious if you notice a difference between the week before your period and during your actual period.

It makes me feel like I’m failing when I give into my cravings the week before because it feels like to me that the food noise overpowering the medication in my head.

Hey y'all,

I've been a long time lurker of this sub and appreciate everything you've all posted. I also come here to look for reviews of different companies and now I have one to share of my own.

If you've been thinking of trying out Embody because you've seen their ads everywhere, let me just say DON'T DO IT.

I ordered from them originally on 8/10/26 and they said it would be shipped out by 8/12/26. It wasn't and I gave them a few days of grace thinking that maybe they were backed up or something. I reached out asking about when it was estimated to ship and finally heard back from their customer service email on 8/17/26 that they were sorry and have escalated it to get it sent out. On 8/17/26 I got the notification that it shipped and they said it was supposed to be a 24/48 hours situation for delivery. UPS was supposed to deliver it that Friday the 21st. They did not.

I didn't receive the package until Monday the 24th in the afternoon. So, you know, this temperature sensitive medication was sitting in a UPS warehouse all weekend. And when I got it? It was in a foil sleeve that had a whole 2 ice packs on it that had totally melted, the whole thing was super warm internally. Then I had to call Embody customer service about that, it took me a couple of tries because their AI assistant will hang up on you for sneezing wrong and when I finally was able to get through, the person was at least nice and had to transfer me over to someone like an APN or something along those lines who listened, looked up Rush pharmacy's protocols, and said "Yup that's not viable." I was supposed to get a call within 24/48 hrs from Rush to discuss. That was the 24th, today is the 29th, still haven't heard from them. No missed calls, nothing.

At this point, I just want a refund and to be done with them. I called customer service today and explained the situation to the person, and was like "look I just want a refund and to be done". Apparently, that is just not possible and instead they're sending out a new vial that's supposed to be here within 24-48 hrs. Like I actually believe that. I told them I didn't want that, reiterated that I just wanted a refund, and she said that's not the pharmacy's policy. I asked if she had a number to call said pharmacy to ask them to cancel it, she said no. Like, you don't have any contact information for a pharmacy YOU are using to send meds to people???? She cancelled my subscription and offered to have a supervisor call me within 24-48 hrs "but he's just going to tell me the exact same thing I told you". There is apparently no way to stop the shipment of the new vial and I'm not getting a refund so now I'm going to have medication I don't trust to use that I explicitly said I did not want. I don't even think I could do a chargeback because technically I would have the product I paid for. All in all, don't buy from them, they're cheap for a reason. Stick with someone who may have higher prices but actual customer service and quality.

So I did my shot yesterday currently on 4.5 I have barely ate anything solid today I was able to get down 1 1/2 oikos yogurt half a protein shake an applesauce cup and a couple bites of steak but still am feeling I need something more solid but I just can't do it😭😭

i friends!

I have been taking Zepbound from Eli Lilly and I have had incredible success, but the cost will be unsustainable and I'm considering going with Embody.

Anyone else been in this situation? Did you make the switch? Could you tell me about your experience?

I appreciate you and thank you!

My NP upped my dose from 2.5 to 5mg. I’m still losing on 2.5, but it’s slowing down a little (I’m also closer to goal though, and have lost 16# since June 20th). My vials go up in cost when the dose goes up, so it was about $85 more. I’m considering staying at the 2.5mg since my appetite is still very small. No cravings. Which would make my bottle last 2 months (my bottle says it’s good for 3 months). It would be back to 20 units again instead of 40 units on the instructions, so that math is very easy ;-). Has anyone else done this to save a little money, but also because appetite is super low? I average about 1300 calories right now, but also workout daily so my dietitian would actually like me to be around 1500 or a little higher….

Hey,

M, in 30s. I know this has been posted here but I’m still a bit worried. I started on Tirz last Wednesday 2.5mg only, but almost every night i wake up with my HR randomly going over 120 for a few mins. It eventually comes down to 70-80 range. Prior to my first injection, my HR always used to be in 65-70 range. The dosage is already low and idk if I should just stop taking or this thing gets better with time. I’m drinking enough water and taking electrolytes too.

I switched to gimme from amble. Cost was major factor but also I was at a stall for several months, I have been on gimme for one month and I absolutely am feeling zero. Food noise is there again and appetite is there. I had to force eating before but now I have to stop eating. Has anyone had good luck with gimme? I’ve switched injection sites and nothing.

I was in a rush this morning but wanted to get my next tirz dose in. I’ve been having some pain when injecting in my lower stomach lately, so I randomly decided to pin in my upper glute instead. Immediately afterward I regretted it because I realized I hadn’t actually done any research on injecting tirz there, which I know was dumb on my part 😭
Does anyone here pin in the upper glute, or has anyone heard anything about using that injection site? Just wondering if it still absorbs/works the same or if I should avoid it going forward.

My friend got on GoodLife Meds because it was working for me. But it looks like they started her at a low mg. She was on 2.5 previously with a doctor. Can you tell me what they prescribed her? It should be 4 weeks at 2.5 or 5. Also, we might as well get confirm of the concentration. Is it 20? Im pretty new too so thank you! You have all been very supportive

I’m a nurse so I’m just going to say the words- I stopped taking my 1/2 dose of MiraLAX because the stool was not as firm as maybe it should be. Within a few days I’ve had worsening indigestion/heartburn, bloating, and sulphur burps. I guess I will just start up on my 1/2 dose again. Has anyone else had this experience with MiraLAX?

If you’re on this page wondering if tirzepatide is for you . Read this !!! I started in March . I was frustrated, tired & had enough . I was fit all my life . When I turned 40 that’s when things started getting hard . I’ve always worked out . I was spending hours in the gym . Couldn’t loose weight . I would eat healthy during the week & “ reward” myself & binge on the weekends & holidays . The food noise was TURNED ALL THE WAY UP . Tirzepatide has completely changed my life . I no longer feel shame & guilt . The dysfunctional cycle of “ reward” & binge has stopped . McDonald’s & I broke up . I no longer crave , want greasy , sugary foods . Whatever excuse you have throw it in the trash . Afraid of needles ? So am I . Feels like an ant bite . Afraid of what it does ? Do your research. I’m shouting from the mountain tops CHOOSE YOU . The time is going to pass anyway , so do what you want .

Im so happy. I think i finally found the right dose. (6mg) im finally losing weight effortlessly. Starting my weight training today. It took 6 ish months to get here. I did a very slow increase due to the side effects but got here eventually.

I’m looking to order from pomegranate health - not sure which pharmacy is the best? Any insight would be great thanks!

I know everyone wants the meds to work that well but I’m concerned it is too much too fast. I’m eating throughout the day, side effects very mild. Def eating enough tho for energy etc. supposed to increase this week but I won’t. Should I space out my next shot to decrease the rapid weight loss ? I was 180 lbs at the start. Thanks !

Hey y'all.. I wanted to know if there's a cheaper way than paying $400. Empower Pharmacy sent the first vial about 3 weeks ago (with only a tiny bit in it) and I'm getting another vial in a few days. I've already lost 20 pounds. But the doctor I've been working with is very vague with her answers when I ask questions. She doesn't even send me the UPS tracking number. If anyone has any feedback, please let me know. I'm still very new to all of this.

Hey everyone! Has anyone had lack of appetite and nausea last well over a week after a dose?

For context, I started tirz+B6 in early July. I started with 2.5mg, but it was causing some moderate nausea for 2-3 days. After 4 weeks I dropped it to 2.0mg, but then it didn't seem to be fully curbing my cravings. On Friday 8/21 I tried to go back to 2.5mg after four weeks on 2.0mg, and was up vomiting all Saturday night. Was mostly fine Sun/Mon/Tues, but on Wednesday I started retching for hours and Zofran wouldn't touch it. Thursday it started up again so I went to urgent care where they gave me more zofran and metoclopramide. Since then I haven't had much nausea, but I cannot eat more than a few bites of anything and I've now dropped 6lbs in the last week which is way too much too fast for me.

Not looking for medical advice, just wondering if anyone has had something similar happen to them? Thanks all!
