    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.)

        @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

          @VelocityT be ready to stop escalation when it works. 🙂

          Protocol looks very familiar 😉

            @Randy I am a little suprised that I felt the difference on day one. At 0.3 mg.

              Rats are usually fine at .3 for an extended period. A little goes a long way

                @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.

                    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?
