I've scoured the Pom website and cannot find what the "Tritrate Starter plan" includes...

What dosages, etc?

I'm on 5 now, not very effective, probably going to move up to 7.5 when my current month is completed.

It says " 0-7.9 mg" (can anyone explain what that means, how many vials, etc.?)

I'm looking to buy 6 months, and I'm not sure if I'll stay on 7.5 for the next 6 months or not.

I can't get pass this page unless I request higher than 7.5, which I don't know if I'll need higher than that.

Should I just request 10?

Does anyone have any suggestions on where this information is "hidden" on their site?

Thanks

WHAT IS THIS?

I am on the struggle bus with my TC and 1/2 Life.

Stats:

Week 1-4, 1 month on Zep 2.5, zero results, good or bad.

Week 5: Increased to Tirz 4.0mg,

- Week 5, Day 1-4: I thought I felt it for a few days, (sugar cravings aren't as bad, woke up feeling very full, stayed fairly full/eating less throughout the days, at one point had to make an effort to get protein in. VERY mild, negative symptoms.

- Week 5, Day 5 (today): Woke up feeling hungry and craving my usual carb enemy, wheat bread, naan, etc. Any kind of starchy carb.

I've read about 1/2 of this med, but I wasn't expecting such a radical, sudden drop.

I take my next shot on 5mg in 2 days, and it feels like it's going to be 2 months. I waited SO long to get ANY results, and I had them for 3 days, and now back to nothing!

QUESTIONS:

1. Should I just try and "bare knuckle" for today and tomorrow, or should I take my 5mg shot 2 days early?

2. Does the Tirz 5mg need more time over the next few weeks to build up in my system or does everyone have to deal with their Tirz 1/2 and just deal with it?

3. Too early to talk Split Dosing?

Please no "lectures". Thank you!

Hey everyone, newbie to GLP1s here.

I'm concerned about shortages and want to order a 6+ supply, but don't know which one to order, so...

A question for the seasoned pros:

QUESTION:

What "dosage" should I order, not knowing if I'll need 7.5 or 10+ etc.?

Background:

Started GLP1 Zep, 2.5mg, via KWIKPEN a month ago, 4 shots, 0 effects, good or bad, nada, nothing.

At $500 a month for the next shot, Zep wasn't happening.

Learned about Triz Compound, ordered 5mg from Pom.

Received Pom order last week. The bottle states: " 2mL Mutli-Dose Vial, 10mL"

Injected 4.0 mg 4 days ago, some effects, my insane craving for sugar/sweets are slowly going away. Still craving carbs in form of bread, potatoes and chips. Terrible heartburn/acid reflux yesterday. None today + not feeling as full.

Going up to 5mg in 3 days.

Concern: I'm sure I'm going to need a higher dose that 5mg. Maybe 7.5 or 10, etc.. I'm also concerned about shortages of TC. (I've heard "tale" of 9 and 12 month supplies being shipped at the same time in 1 order, but I think that's an urban myth, so don't think I'll go down that rabbit hole.)

I don't understand the "concentrations" bit of all this yet, but I'm now understanding the increasing of amount of dosages and the timing of them.

QUESTION:

What "dosage" should I order, not knowing if I'll need 7.5 or 10+ etc.?

I want to order a 6+ supply (or more, if I can find it from a reputable website) BUT... I don't really know exactly where I'll be 2 + months from now.

Thanks!

First will be my 1st self-injection of Tirz Compound. I've done a month today on Zep 2.5mg w/the "Kwikpen" (Hated it, you really can't see the fluid).

Today will be my 1st self-injection with a proper syringe (I've never given myself a shot before, kinda scared, terrified of Air Bubbles🫧).

As I had ZERO effects (good or bad) from my 2.5mg, I decided to increase. After wavering between 3.5 and 5.0, I decided to split the difference at 4.0 for this first week to get more results while minimizing side effects.

TWO QUESTIONS:

1. Is the "Strength" the "10mg/mL" at the bottom of the vial (I ordered 5.0mg), or is the "strength" the "2mL" at the top of the vial?

2. Went to Fat Scientist and it showed me "You'll need 40 Units", so I THINK I have the measurement/amount correct in my mind, but before sticking the needle into the vial, I thought I'd double check with the more seasoned pros here.

Ok, going to go watch dozens of videos on how to withdraw the fluid from the vial and measure it, and inject it while I wait for wisdom here.

Is this the correct amount I should fill the syringe with for 4mg?

A couple of things to sort out...

I'm a Newbie and am just learning about compounds, needles, and the Metric system.

I started GLP1 Zep, 2.5mg, via KWIKPEN from Lilly, a month ago, 4 shots, 0 effects, good or bad, nada, nothing.

At $500 a month for the next shot, Zep wasn't happening.

Researched lower cost options, learned about Triz Compound, ordered 5mg from Pom.

Received Pom order last week. The bottle states: " 2mL Mutli-Dose Vial, 10mL"

Nervous about 1st time self injection.

Since I've had no effects for a month on the 2.5mg (yes, I've learned that this is an intentional, small dose (2.5mg) for the first month.

Question/Poll: I'm nervous about potential side effects, but also don't want to waste another week...should I take a more cautious and take a more "gentle" dose of 3.5mg or just go for it and slam the whole 5mg into my body?

Stomach, arms, or thighs... oh my!

Thoughts on injection site for a 1st time syringe injector...

Thanks!

We've all seen the dramatic "Before and After" Pictures.

We've all read the "I just started GLP1 and felt it within 15 minutes, and after 1 day, I'm already down 15 pounds" stories.

THIS thread is for those of us who are NOT having/haven't had much success in the beginning, to share experiences, frustrations, personal insights, and just share if you're disappointed in general...

THIS IS A SAFE SPACE, so please:

NO "It's too early to know if the medicine is working" replies. Again, looking for people's PERSONAL stories who were slow responders, not "medical" advice.

NO "lectures" about "You're just not trying hard enough", "You're not counting calories," etc... We got it, you're "better" than us. We beat ourselves up enough, trust and believe... we don't need any help doing that!

NO insulting Trolls, (I never knew there were so many mean and self-righteous people in the world until I joined Reddit last week)

NO Hate, just kindness, support, and WELL-MEANING advice and tips.

I'll start:

Almost 1 month of 2.5mg Zep and feeling ZERO effects...I feel like I've injected $400 worth of water into my body....Starting 5mg this week of Tirz Compound from Pom.

"Food Noise"... wtf is that, and how do I know if I had it and/or if it's gone?

Bummed, angry, depressed... but still hopeful.

So... How about you?... How you doin' ?

Starting 5mg in a couple of days... 2.5mg has had no effect on me at all, but "preparing" for 5mg. Hoping that I'll be getting the "full" feeling and that I'll no longer want to eat, so I'll eat a Protein Bar or two a day to stay on top of things for my energy level.

I don't have much time to cook, especially when I'm traveling for work, and that a lot of the time.

Also, I've heard tales of constipation, etc... Prunes or Prune juice, which has fewer carbs and works better?

Thanks!

So I'm 3 weeks into GLP1s.

Just finished last shot of 2.5 mg on Zep... 0 effects, still eating like a crazy person.

Ordered 5mg from Pom and will start that next week.

Here's my dumb question...

When people order 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, etc., are the strengths in the vial more powerful or are people just taking more of it?

In other words, I bought a single vial of 5mg from Pom thinking maybe the 5mg is not strong enough for me, so I'll need to order 7.5mg for next month. But I'm reading about people who are fairly new to Tirz buying 6 months' supply of Tirz... but how do they know if the 5.0mg (for example) will work on them in 2 months' time and they won't need a higher (stronger?) dose or lower dose if the higher doses gave them too many bad side effects ?

I have 65 lbs to lose, so this is going to be a long journey... should I be ordering a larger supply next month?

Thanks.

PS: Rude Trolls will be shamed and blocked.

New Tirz vial from Pom. Will take a new injection of 5mg next week.

Hey everyone.

I've only been on 2.5mg Zep for 3 weeks. I took my last shot today.

After a couple weeks on Zep and it wasn't having any effect on me, I decided my next dose should be a step up to 5mg Zep... but that step up on Zep is very expensive, so I started researching and decided to go with Tirz compound with Pom.

I had the Asynchronous appointment with Pom's RN, all went well, and in her report, she wrote:

" Plan Prescribe: Hallandale Tirzepatide 4.5mg to be injected subcutaneously once weekly for one month."

I don't totally understand the conversion numbers from Zep to Triz compounds, but I thought I'd be receiving 4.5 mg as my next step up from Zep's 2.5mg.

Today I received my package from Pom, and on all the paperwork enclosed, the outer package and the vial itself it states: " 10 mg "

That seems wrong, too high, but I'm not sure... Am I supposed to be diluting it or taking a very small amount?

I'm out of Zep now and supposed to take my next shot 6 days from now.

Any help from some of the Tirz seasoned pros on here would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

GLP1 Newbie here.

I've been on Zep, 2.5mg for 3 weeks and it's had no effect on me whatsoever (actually, I've had more junk food cravings, but maybe thats psychological).

I was trying to get advice online about this, which led me to getting a Reddit account about a week ago, and have been receiving AMAZING advice, thank you all!

Having been on here (and watching many YT videos) I came to discover Tirz Compounds, which seemed like a good fit for me, bcs if I am one of those people who the medicine doesn't work on, I don't want to spend $400 on Zep for months on end, to figure that out. But at $169/mo (from Pom) I'm willing to carry on, and hopefully the higher dose of 5 mg many people advised will do the trick (I understand that I may have to go to 7.5 and 10mg and so on, but 5mg is the next logical step for me.)

I ordered through Pom after hearing about the backlog and expected a 2-ish week delivery time, but it turns out I'm receiving it early than expected (all informed by FedEx, not Pom, so B+ to Pom for getting my order processed fairly quickly, but F for communication)

I'm receiving the new Pom 5mg order on the same day as I'm supposed to take my 4th shot of Zep of 2.5mg (that hasn't worked)

Back story up complete, here are my questions:

1) Should I skip my 4th shot of Zep 2.5mg and go straight to the Tirz Compound 5mg and take that shot instead?

a. My hesitance to go straight to the 5mg is that people have mentioned that I'm "supposed to allow the medicine to enter my body in 4 weeks to prepare for a higher dose."

b. The 2.5mg has not affected me, so why not go to a higher dose now?

2) Should I try a "mix" of a lower dose of say... 3.5mg, on the 4th shot or even the 5th shot, so I don't have a bad (severe) reaction? ( I'm a little nervous about the side effects.)

Thank you for reading until the end, and thank you in advance for those of you who are kind enough to take time out of your day to answer my questions.

So there's been a lot of back and forth on here about Pom's order and shipping times and about the quality of Pom's Tirz Compound.

I'm going to keep a "journal" of sorts to document MY experience... Other people may have different results

I'm brand new to Pom and only on a GLP1 for 2. weeks, 4 days (as of today, 4-27-26)

First up: Pom Ordering Experience:

Placed my new order on 4-22-26.

Received my "Visit Summary Review " (Medical Review by an RN) 4-27-26

So 5 days, not the "24-48 Hours" claimed on their site...

That stated, there is a warning on their site that they are running behind.

I'm now waiting for the "prescription" (approval?) to be sent to the pharamacy (I chose "Hallendale")

To be clear, I did not get my 1st GLP1 by Pom, I received it directly from the manufacruer.

My GLP1 Journey thus far...

Z, 2.5mg for 2 weeks, 4 days (4-27-26)

I've had no effects (good or bad) so far. Well, actually, not true, I've been craving (and eating) junkfood. (Maybe that's pyscological) Disappointed, but after having posted about my disappointment, a few people commented that they had the same experience, so that reassured me.

Will update any new events!

Happy GLP1-ing, y'all 💉💉💉💉💉💉
