Long time lurker and a not-yet Pepp Pinner…feels like a no brainer but still not quite brave enough to make the decision. I’m a highly functional ADHD-er, BMI over 35, not old but not young…I’d go the telehealth option but my occupation doesnt allow for GLP currently. Long story.

I started coming here because I’m starting to worry about the quality of life that I’m losing in the time that I’m not doing something about it. I don’t feel good in my skin, I feel like I’m not setting a good example for my children, and I’m leaving some life on the table, as they say. I’m otherwise happy. I’m not particularly afraid of needles. I won’t mind doing the work with fitness and diet to match the GLP. I feel like I have a lot of persistent inflammation, so that also sounds like something I’d love to get rid of!

I’m scared of getting a bad source or dying from something preventable.

Love the positivity. Love hearing the stories of success! Looking forward to maybe getting to know some of you better.

There’s definitely a lot of information and it can feel overwhelming at first, but once things click it gets a lot easier to navigate. Do your due diligence about suppliers, take the proper safety precautions, and once you start seeing the benefits it’ll be a lot less scary. I wish you the best on your journey, friend!
 
I was once in the same boat my friend, from my own experience I'm super glad I locked my diet, training, daily step and sleep down before I tried any sort of enhancers. But let me tell you, man do they help! It will take some time and effort but you will get it!
 
Welcome! I've been on brand name Mounjaro for around 18 months now and my concerta XL prescription is now for 27mg instead of the highest dose. I've found tirz has completely changed my life as a person with extreme ADHD, I'm in far better control of my impulses now than I ever was before.

I completely understand your concerns, though. It's taken months for me to accept that the risks of going gray are worth it for me to continue using tirz now I've been priced out of the branded stuff.

I hope you find the forum helpful!
