Giving This Another Shot: Any Survo Users Willing to Share?

I took it alongside Tirz to shed some visceral fat (body recomp?), mainly because Reta by itself didn't provide the inflammation suppression I got from Tirz.
It appeared to do the job, though its gastric effects feel closer to Sema, and stacking isn't really my thing, so I've gone back to just the T ma'am.
There's an entire subculture around "ghettoreta" that I haven't checked in on recently. It might still be on /r or another spot if you dig around. That's where I'd go looking for protocols and similar info.

Same result for me — nothing solid turned up. You can dig up lots of reports where survo (or maz) gets stacked alongside tirzepatide ("ghetto reta"), yet almost none cover survo or maz on their own.
To me, survo and maz look like genuinely intriguing compounds, and it's a shame they get nowhere near the attention retatrutide enjoys. I doubt retatrutide's particular mix of GLP1, GIP, and glucagon agonism will suit every single person, and survo plus maz open the door to testing other ratios — ones that probably lean harder on glucagon. Especially for anyone who felt wiped out on retatrutide, giving one of those other 2 a shot seems like a reasonable move.

I had been considering adding it to a stack.

I had been looking forward to adding it to my routine. Then, right after that initial injection, nerves got the better of me, and I haven't gone back for a second one.

My board-certified internist put it bluntly, in their words: "people who stack are crazy." After my most recent round of stacking too aggressively, I found myself leaning toward that same view — all I wanted was to curl up in a corner and fade away without a sound.

I've been stacking it since 9/8/25. Since 8/9/25, tirz has been at 7.5 for me. Survo went .6 mg for 2 weeks; 1.2 mgs for 4 weeks; 1.8 mgs for 10 weeks; and 2 mgs for 6 weeks, which lands us on today.
From 6/6/25 to 11/11/25 I dropped 50 lbs, and since then I've stayed at gw.
My reason for stacking had no scientific basis at all: for whatever reason, I didn't want tirz going above 7.5 mg/weekly, and I wanted to see whether the ghetto-reta idea could take off those final 12-15lbs to gw. It did.
Survo has given me zero feelz. Not any. Nothing. Still, I really value what it does for my metabolism.
Eating-wise, life feels "normal," whatever that means. I clearly recall seeing foods that looked appealing and simply telling myself "no, you don't need to put that in your mouth," then carrying on as if it were an ordinary moment.
Tirz no longer gives me feelz either. None.
What's also absent is any battle with food. That's a sensation I never had across my 62 years. It's extremely strange. It's extremely welcome.
Ha, that internist doesn't know what they're talking about!
Here they are giving you a lecture about stacking peptides (hormone simulators) inside your body. Yet I'd bet that same internist has no problem "stacking" 6 or so different prescriptions at once — the first 2 for issues they think you have, and the remaining 4 to handle what the first 2 cause.

And on that note, this is the very physician who told me to increase my tirz dose weekly rather than once every 4 weeks. So that tracks.
Back then I figured he was fine, given how aggressively he titrated. But later he began pushing Zepbound as better than compounded versions—claiming both greater efficacy and tolerability—right around the time the FDA started setting deadlines for compounded products.

Something about that doesn’t add up… It’s… odd….

I spent 6-8 months on tirz and survo, and personally I saw hardly any benefit at all.
Currently stalled while running 15 tirz alongside 2.4 survo. When I first hit that 2.4mg survo dose, it seemed like something was happening, though the effect faded sooner than I'd hoped.
My plan: stay at 2.4 for another week, then move up to 3.3 for 4 weeks, followed by 4.2 for 4 weeks. Should I still be stuck at that point, I'll stop the survo and test out Cagri in a 16 week stack.
If that flops, the next attempt is shifting tirz to 15mg every 5 days. Should that also fail, reta gets another shot (roughly 10 months back it upset my digestive system). And if none of those pan out, I'll just accept maintenance status on 15mg tirz weekly.
Ideally I'd drop about 30 more pounds.

Survo has its own dedicated forum section—have you posed your question in that area?
I genuinely have a great experience with survo. It surprises me that more people don't bring it up.
My progress stopped while on Tirz 10mg combined with Sema 2mg. I still had 15lbs to go before reaching 12% BF, and my body just wouldn't budge. I gave cagri a shot first; it did suppress my appetite somewhat, but the effects didn't last long for me, and I also got fatigue, which I really dislike. On top of that, I hardly dropped any weight with it. As for Reta, I can't take it because it causes intense skin sensitivity—itching and scratching all over my legs.
Then came survo. Adding just 1mg did the trick, and the scale is finally moving downward again. I won't rely on it for maintenance, but for now it's definitely making a difference.

When you compare cost per milligram, reta comes in at roughly 1/3 of what survo runs.
You don't need to stack anything. Plus, anyone sitting on a surplus of tirz can simply pair it with reta instead, as long as the side effects aren't an issue.

I figured the cost would have dropped further by this point.
The ghetto reta TG sits at 2,500 members, while STG has 20,100. Either way, survo and maz draw a lot more interest than orfo tablets, which aren't cheap either.

I'm a big fan of Survo! Around the time I was roughly 10 lbs out from a goal I'd picked somewhat arbitrarily, I made a spur-of-the-moment call to add a small stack — .8mg of survo on top of my 10mg tirz — to speed up the weight coming off. Reta was off the table for me since my heart rate already runs above normal. What I wanted to find out was whether those rumors about more energy and fat loss while on survo would hold true in my case. And they absolutely did! I'm basically a couch potato when it comes to exercise — almost all my movement comes from hiking, gardening and lively gossiping. I'm under goal now, and when I glance down at my midsection it looks like I'm sucking my breath in (though there's still an apron down there — borderline loincloth). Just wish the price were lower.

Tirz and survo barely moved the needle for me. At this point I'm titrating Reta on its own up toward 15mg, though appetite is a real problem. Planning to layer tirz back in after a few weeeks.
