Tirzepatide — Weekly Research Dosing Protocol
-
I just added 250mcg uncle wangs cagri to my tirz/survo stack. To try to offset some of the hunger from ipamorelin. It works...but Im dropping the ipa for the time being because that Ghrelin really makes me want to eat the cheese...ill keep the cagri in the mix but at a really low dose. Closer to 100mcg for the love of the game.
Sermorelin did increase my appetite a smidge but nothing like the Ipamorelin. My experience was less weight loss but better recovery and better workouts. Its a great compound and I feel like its underrated.
As for the "Ghetto Reta" stack. I love it. I'm up to 3mg of survo with 15 of tirz. Monday Tirz and Thursday Survo. Someone much smarter told me to research them like they are separate compounds and that's how I am approaching them. Another option is maz. The consensus in my circle of friends is Mazdutide is the go to if GI upset is a problem.
I titrated upping my dose every two weeks starting around 300mcg. Outlined here
The trials started higher but im stacking glps so better to go on the lighter end.
If hunger is a big issue cagri is the one. if you want a taste of the glucagon with some increase in the satiety of more GLP go survo or mazdutide. Either way theyre great options.

Maz is really expensive!.... and kinda hard to find. I have a 10mg vial that someone gifted me, will give it a go one of these days. Until then the Cagri is currently doing the job and i found a kit of Survo if cagri starts to wear down. I'm close to goal weight so I don't see myself doing all 3

For a while I was injecting every 5th day since that is the 50% half life of Tirz. Or you can split doses. I know that is common for Reta. I am currently using 5mg Tirz/week and find my appetite does increase a lot Fridays and Saturdays(Saturday night is dose night) but overall my weight is stable to slightly down, my overall calories are in line, and I get to enjoy larger meals once or twice a week.
A friend’s rat does split dosing for Reta and is happy with the results so far.

I couldn't do the split dosing, just didn't work for me, there has been times when I decide to take my weekly a day, or even a couple days before my pinning day. but i don't do that continually, just as needed. I chalk it up to perhaps I dosed a little less on the last shot, hard for me to be perfectly exact with dosing, even after buying .5cc syringes. I have ordered a couple different pens that I hope will make that easier.

I definitely suggest going slow and listening to your body. My wife was on Sema and then i started using Tirz. She then went to Tirz. My response has been much greater than hers, and I have no desire for alcohol anymore where she still has some. And I am on a much lower dose. Point being, do what works for you and not what everyone else is telling you. (It probably also helps that I work out a lot, load protein, bleed creatine, and am not menopausal.)

@ResearchCat hahaha, I like your humor!

@VelocityT yeah some people split dose and love it. You might run into similar satiety issues with your rat. Cagri has murdered my hunger for cheese.
@Randy I ordered my Cagri. It arrives today! I am excited. Split dosing on just Triz was a disaster for me. I am trying the Cagri....I will check back with results either way. Does this schedule seem correct? what do other researchers recommend?The 16-Week Clinical Titration Schedule:
Phase Weekly Dose Duration Total Phase Dose Purpose
Month 1 0.3 mg Weeks 1–4 1.2 mg Initial receptor sensitization
Month 2 0.6 mg Weeks 5–8 2.4 mg Escalation 1
Month 3 1.2 mg Weeks 9–12 4.8 mg Escalation 2 (The "Wall" for many)
Month 4 1.8 mg Weeks 13–16 7.2 mg Escalation 3
Maintenance 2.4 mg Week 17+ 2.4 mg/week Full therapeutic dose -

Protocol looks very familiar

@Randy I am very surprised how well it works. I have struggled with the desire to eat my whole life. This is incredibly empowering being able to have control over my own body. TY.
@VelocityT Im with you. The pizza thoughts at 1am are gone. My drug was always food.

8 months in, I am dropping my Tirz to 2.5mg from 5mg. I only got up to 10mg in October and by then had no appetite. I got to my original target weight in December and have been flat to slightly down since then. My goal at this point is to continue building muscles, and I just can’t eat enough over 5mg. Plus (TMI) the only bad side effect I’ve had is constipation. So i hope this helps.
I have noticed a bit more food noise and booze noise, though that is up from nothing. I gotta say that I really enjoy having no desire for booze, mobile games, and a lot of other stuff. Makes me wonder what other things it suppresses.
Note: I also cycle CJC/Ipa, which some people say increases appetite. And improves sleep. I haven’t noticed either, but who can say.
I encourage you to play with lower doses of your GLP-1’s, especially if you are working out, watching your macros, and researching other peptides. Big Pharma wants you on the maximum dose, but you don’t necessarily need to be on it for it to be effective.
Stay healthy, happy researching, and take more creatine.

Have you tried other GLP's from vendors like Nextchems Retatrutide?
