Semiglutide is the only way I was able to rid my 20 lbs of post menopausal weight.
I initially started with a PA.
My dose was prescribed as follows:
One .4 mg (point 4, not 4) injection, one day a week (same day each week) for the first month.
Next, I increased dose .1 mg/10 units weekly for another month until I got to .08 mg/80 units.
This was the PAs decision and I think she was being cautious as it was a new medication for their office.
I’m pretty sure I was the Guinea Pig:)
(I use a 1 mg /100 unit syringe)
I followed instructions and stopped at .8 mg until I read more articles about its use, benefits, and dosing for weight loss specifically.
Please indulge me for a minute at this point. I want to mention things I wish I’d known prior, just to keep in mind.
When Googled, many reputable organizations, health orgs, specialists, and research articles were consistent in the safety of the higher doses mentioned previously. There aren’t any health issues that would prohibit me from going to more beneficial/reasonable and improved increases. My theory, again, is the Guinea Pig Theory.
On a brighter note, I’m very cautious AND confident about what I take/put in my body, how much, and from “where”.
You guessed it, YES, my doctors love me and all the research, new treatments, drugs in pipeline…about to arrive.
The first place I purchased from had everything put together in the “2/3rds full” vial (BWater and powder peptide)… I mention this so you aren’t shocked when you see what you just spent a lot of money on.
It really did help me with weight I was unable to budge as an older women…
Item stays in fridge directly upon receipt.
I’ve noticed in researching that ordering powder is much cheaper- but still pretty expensive, Either ways works.
When you start, there’s seems to be some solution/powder missing. Knowing this before it arrives may help you a little w/the sticker shock. Just a note of caution, look at/in vial as soon as you get it. I’ve received an empty one before.
My final frontier is to do math, ugh, because I purchased “powder only” and need to reconstitute.
No problem. Not the hard part.
Figuring out dose when one bottle reads 1 mg on front label (one with liquid already in it). The powder vial says 3 mg and leaves very little room for the liquid to dissolve.
My biggest takeaway (confusion really) was that my PA’s “upward titrating” initial dose and cut off point, both seem pretty low after all I’ve read. .
One last thing. Promise.
I was pretty nauseous for awhile. Then it was gone as quickly as it came on.
Whew! Feels like I just write a book. Let me know if you have any questions about my experience with this product. I hope I answered your question in there somewhere!
