Introduce yourself

Hi all. Im Dave and my wife Brenda is on the terzepatide program with Emerge. She is not big into blogging so Im taking a lead here on her behalf. She started with .25 for a month. Then bumped up to .50 her 2nd month. She visited her primary care physician at 6 weeks in and had lost 6 lbs. Starting month 3 she has upped her dose to .75. Appetite is noticably less for the first time. Question I have is protein. How much a day? Are protein shakes acceptable forms? Thank you all for your posts and responces! ❤

Jessica from Chicago. Had huge success with Wegovy for 1+ years and it saved my life and mental health. Sadly, insurance stopped covering it and I had to find another solution. PCP gave me a script for tirzepatide that I brought to Red Rock Pharmacy, but now after a month I don’t know what I can even do since the FDA has taken away this amazing gift. I’m in a puddle of tears and anxiety over here wondering how and where I’m going to get access to the medication that my body needs. I’ve already gained 15 lbs in 2 months without the consistent use of a GLP-1.

Hi everyone! My name is Linda. I started my glp1 journey in February on monjouro with good success, until my insurance stopped covering it in July. I started back on zepbound this month and feeling pretty good, aside from the steep cost.

Thank you so much Allison for the research and safe space to chat. It is much much appreciated. I haven’t decided which provider/pharmacy I’ll try but I sure appreciate any great deals or discount codes. 🥰. So glad to be here.

Hello, I just found out about this forum from Reddit. I've tried 2 different companies already and failed. I have PCOS and my partner and I are trying to get pregnant soon. I just signed up to this new company called Lumimeds, before I've searched about this forum. I have yet to receive my meds. Hoping this would be the answer to my weight loss journey.

Hello! I’m Arianna :)

I am so happy I found you on Reddit! You saved me from trying a different company! I used your referral link for emerge and I’m not sure if there are any other steps to take besides wait. I filled out the google form, and then paid for my first month :) I’m really excited to try this as I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom with my PCOS, and insulin resistance and nothing has worked. Crossing my fingers! :) thank you for all your research!

Alison - I just ordered semiglutide through Orderly. Thank you for making me feel confident about this online pharmacy. You broke everything down so well. My Dr. prescribed Wegovy which is not covered so this is hopefully a good option for me. I found signing up really easy and appreciate that there is no membership. Thank you for all of your information!!!

Hello, I am fairly new to this journey and excited to have like minded to communicate with. Thank you for all of the research that you have provided, makes me feel more comfortable. A little bit about where I am at currently. I started at a local health spa, understanding that it was going to be more expensive, but I just wanted to see which injection I wanted and what to expect before putting a months worth of money out. I am currently paying $100.00 per week for Semaglutide, I am doing my third shot today. This fee also covers an additional B-12 shot. I am tolerating well so I am ready to move to a Telehealth solution. I am torn on whether to move to Emerge and switch to Tirz or go with Orderly and just stay on the Sema. I have about 30-40 lbs that I want to lose. I am commited to the marathon and have been taking the steps to do this right. Would love to hear what others advice would be.

Hi, I started my journey with Emerge on July 11th and started my injection on Friday the 19th! So happy to have found this website and all of this great information, thank you so much, it has been a life saver!!😊 So far things have been going great, no side effects, some appetite suppression, which is feeling full faster and with less food, cravings are minimal and so much better. I completed the 3rd shot on the 2nd and have lost 6.9lbs, everything is going awesome and Emerge has been great. I wanted to know if anyone has tried BHH (Balanced Hormone Health) they have bulk vials?? Just wanted any insight, timely refill orders etc.... because they are cheaper but that doesn't always mean better 😉 and they do use Hallandale pharmacy, so if anyone has anything to share I would greatly appreciate it, thanks Lisa 😊

Hi, I’m Christine and found you through reddit. Wish I’d done a bit more research before I signed up with Plushcare as I’m not thrilled with the experience so far and now know they are one of the most expensive providers. I appreciate your research efforts and willingness to share and I’m looking forward to my first shipment from Emerge.

Hello, I'm Sarah, and I finally decided to order my tirzepatide through Emerge. I have been hesitant to try this for fear that it won't work or I will have a bad experience or even more, what if it DOES work? Is it possible that I can really get back to my healthy body? I'm scared to hope. Nothing has worked for the last 25 years. I have been steadily gaining every year, no matter what I do. I finally asked my doctor about it 4 months ago, and she sent in my rx for zepbound, but it was rejected by insurance. I have to go through the hoops if I want to get insurance to pay for it. She put me on metformin, but the diarrhea was so bad and often that I had to stop. I do know that it helped my glucose get back to normal for the first time in 2 years which was nice. My H1c is just below diabetic range and we wanted to move it back down to normal. I haven't tested for it yet though. My next appt with my Dr. isn't until the end of July, and I will test then.

My friend told me she was using a compounded version because of the same reasons I have been going through. She has done very well with it and has encouraged me to try the same. I found this website through a redditfound through a google search. I love all the research you have put into this and it makes me feel at ease with going this route. So last night, I went through Emerge to order my tirzepatide. It seems like it is all going through just fine. I have an order waiting to be filled. My questions now are, was I supposed to speak with a doctor? Do I just inform my Dr. that I am getting it through a compound pharmacy? Do I do it on my own? I'm a little confused. Advice is welcome. Thank you for this website and everyones experiences to get to this place.

Hi! Thank you Alison for providing this forum and the wonderful researched information. It helped me to take action. Just pulled trigger and used your personal link to order from Emerge. I have delayed this journey for more than 9 months waiting and hoping the brand product became budget friendly. I'm nervous and excited!

HI there, reddit:BehooldKeto here, Deborah. I am so thrilled! I learned what I know in the early days of all the good work and discussions on Reddit forums. it was amazing and wonderful. I am not pleased that the sub:compoundedtirzepitide is now banning any links, all of it. It seems the ‘last gasp of late stage capitalism” are mad someone would get info and thank people. It infuriates me! So, I am here and have incvited Alison, if possible, to somehow get imto my new sub:GLP1sForOldies. And do educating and info to some people who really need it. So thanks!
