⚠️ URGENT: PROTECT THE ACCESS. WATCH WHAT YOU POST🚧

Community, we need to be smart. It was explicitly brought up in recent court proceedings (Eli Lilly vs. Mochi Health) that these groups are being monitored. Eli Lilly and regulatory bodies like the FDA are currently monitoring 24/7 this group and others, looking for any excuse to shut down the compounding industry permanently.

To protect your access and our providers, please follow these rules immediately: No "Bulk Switch" Stories: Avoid posting about providers changing dosages "en masse" or without individual consultations. This is a primary legal attack point for Lilly.

Keep Sources Private: Do not name specific pharmacies or provide "how-to" guides for bypassing standard medical protocols. Focus on Health, Not "Hacks": Discussing results and side effects is fine. Discussing how to manipulate the system gives them ammunition to claim "corporate practice of medicine" violations.

Assume You Are Being Read: Every post here can be screenshotted and used as an "Exhibit A" in a courtroom to prove the industry is a "wild west."

Don't let a single post be the reason we all lose access until 2040 or beyond. Be smart and be cautious. Be discreet.

Eli lilly and their dogs at the FDA are watching you.

5 weeks in

I just took my 6th dose. I started at 219.8lbs. This morning I am 200.3lbs!

I am amazed! Most of my clothes are starting to fit differently!

Fifty410 is doing 3 months for $699 now?!

This is for max dose of 15mg from BPI. Is this not a little steep?

Normal or are they taking advantage of post-ProRx panic buying?

Curious if anyone else has had the same experience…

I’ve been on tirzepatide (the compounded version) for about 2 months now. I’m currently on 4.4mg. With past doses I had reduction in my food noise and felt full so I was definitely eating a lot less. With this dose, the first time I took it I had zero food noise and great appetite reduction. Now I’m on week 3 of this dose and I’ve noticed my food noise is back like crazy but I’m physically feeling full longer. Like everything is tempting me and I will be able to eat a little but definitely not as much as before but the food noise feels the same as before I started taking a glp1. Im constantly thinking about food and what I want to eat I just can’t physically eat it bc I feel full. I guess what I’m asking is - is it normal to have to appetite suppression but still have major food noise? What I really want is for the food noise to be gone!

The judge in the Eli Lilly vs. Mochi case seems to be leaning toward Lilly. How will this affect access to compounded meds?

https://youtu.be/f9GLreMHFZ4

Why the San Francisco hearing is the "make or break" moment for compounding.

I just watched a summary of the latest hearing in San Francisco. It sounds like the judge is shifting her stance and might allow Eli Lilly’s case against Mochi to move forward into discovery. I’m curious what the 'higher ups' healthcare providers, legal experts, or industry insiders here think about the judge's focus on reputational harm and lost sales.

Staying on Zepbound long-term with Virta? Maintenance dosing / insurance questions

Hey everyone,

I’m currently on month two with Virta Health and taking Zepbound. So far, my experience has been really positive—everyone I’ve worked with has been great, and I’m making solid progress with weight loss.

I was approved through my insurance for Zepbound until around July/August 2026, but I’m still paying about $200/month out of pocket, which definitely adds up.

Now I’m starting to think ahead…

My program seems to lean toward eventually coming off the medication and maintaining weight loss through lifestyle changes. But I’ve struggled with obesity my entire life, and honestly, my appetite is no joke—I feel like I’ve got the appetite of a 500 lb man. This medication has been a game changer for controlling that.

So I’m wondering:

•	Does anyone know if Virta supports staying on Zepbound long-term for maintenance?

•	Has anyone been able to stay on a lower “maintenance dose” through them?

•	Is there any chance they can help extend insurance coverage, or am I basically stuck paying out of pocket?

•	If not, what are people doing after programs like this—Lilly Direct, compounding (while it’s still available), or something else?

I’m honestly pretty concerned about coming off and gaining everything back, especially knowing how strong my appetite is without the medication.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with experience or advice.

Thanks 🙏

Is extreme bloating normal? 2nd 2.5 mg shot

Hey guys

I woke up in the middle of the night coughing non stop from acid reflux, went back to sleep and when I woke up in the morning, I threw up 3x. I am aslo very bloated. I took something for the acid and a gravol. Is this bloating normal? How long does it last? other than this incident, everything has been fine so far.

Should I do a second shot?

I had more left in my vial than usual this week. Clearly a miscalculation. Does anyone have experience with doing a second shot with the leftover zep? Either same day or later in the week?

Little concerned.

I am about to take a dose of 2.5mg tomorrow and also I am a newbie to this.

I wanna know how much immediately the side effects take place and how long those lasts.

secondly what's the best time to take the dose.

can I take it early in the morning without eating or drinking anything and have breakfast after 2 hours of taking a dose?

also can someone suggest meds for side effects like diarrhoea and headache etc.

Has anyone felt like tirzepatide changed their personality, not just their weight?

I started tirzepatide (Zepbound) a few months ago mainly for weight loss, and honestly the results have been great physically — appetite is down, weight is dropping, and “food noise” is almost gone.

But something weird is happening that I didn’t expect…

I feel like I’m not fully myself anymore.

  • I don’t crave food, but I also don’t feel excitement about things I used to enjoy
  • My mood feels more “flat” — not sad, just… neutral all the time
  • Social situations feel different, like I’m less emotionally reactive
  • Even motivation feels different — more controlled but less passionate

I’ve seen people talk about nausea, fatigue, etc., but not much about mental or personality changes.

I did find one or two mentions about emotional blunting, but it’s not widely discussed.

So I’m curious:

👉 Has anyone else experienced this?
👉 Does it go away over time or is this just part of how the drug works?
👉 Is this a trade-off for appetite control?

Would really appreciate honest experiences — good or bad.
