INTRO Newbie

Hi everyone

Just dropping in to say hello. I'm new around here. Right now I'm on Triz, though I've been thinking about switching things up. Down the road, I'd like to get to a point where I can source it on my own more independently.

To be honest, I'm still figuring out how this site works and a lot of the terms are going over my head but I'll keep fumbling my way along.

If anybody knows of any beginner-friendly threads that could help me get my bearings here, I'd really appreciate it if you'd point me toward them

Welcome aboard! I only joined around 7 days ago myself, and I'm also using Tirz (Zep) prescribed by my physician. In my view, the layout here is quite easy to navigate. Simply check the large letter banners that separate the discussion areas: General discussion, medications, others, vendor sources, vendor reviews. Explore for a little while and you'll pick it up fast.

Thanks I'm still getting familiar with everything! It's just that the shorthand for various items/stacks and so on seems like quite a bit to pick up - but that's exactly why I'm here

 

[wileyhorse]

Welcome aboard! My strong suggestion is that you spend the coming 2 weeks simply browsing through the threads… every single 1 of them! Soak it all in! You'll find a ton of valuable info right here, and all you have to do is trace the breadcrumbs. Pay attention to what other members say and keep those points in mind, and once the moment comes to place an order, asking questions won't even be necessary.

Another excellent way to pick things up is by joining in on member conversations… you'll discover that the people here are patient and friendly. We're all in this together

Thanks Tonight I ended up scrolling through countless posts — there's a ton of info here.

There's a massive warren of information to explore! Go slowly and check out each path

I will right now I can get Tirz from a friend, so there’s no hurry to switch things around. Still, I’m 100% eager to build up my own knowledge so I can do this properly. I realize I need to tweak a few things I’m doing thanks for the replies

Haven't used tirz before, though I'm really into reta and l carnitine!

Haven't used tirz, but I really like reta and l carnitine

I'm also doing whatever I can on this end lol. Working out the way to begin posting feels odd.

 

[emelite14]

I'm considering giving reta a go! That's what brought me to this place. There's certainly a great deal to absorb, but I'm sure we'll manage ! What are your thoughts on the Reta?

My suggestion is to start by joining conversations in the intro area… as you take part more, you’ll see that you gain greater ability to create other posts. Just don’t hurry it… trying to do too much in one go will end up setting you back. Stay patient with how things work, and check back a few times each day for a while

Until the “no source discussion” label is taken off your account, avoid asking about or talking about sources. That process isn’t quick. Use the waiting period to read posts and interact with other members. Everything you need can be found here. Well before my own label came off, I already felt sure enough to place my first order.

You've got the wrong idea about what I was asking. I wasn't talking about where to get it - I've already gone through the rules, so no need to fret. What I meant was, how do you find it in terms of the results? Is it working nicely for you and so on! 'What's your experience with Reta like?' - that's what I was getting at!

Ah! Being clear makes all the difference lol

After a month of no progress on 10mg Tz, I thought I'd try adding 1 mg Reta to get things moving again. It worked! I dropped back to 7.5 Tz and increased Reta to 2 mg. Over 2 weeks, the scale went down 5 pounds, which makes me really pleased. I feel like this mix gives me solid control while still letting me eat. It feels balanced, so I hope it keeps going this way. I'll stick with it for as long as it keeps working. Maybe down the road I'll shift more toward Reta, but for now, the combination seems ideal

Thanks honestly the appetite suppression from the TZ feels necessary for me. Right now I'm at 7.5mg (I've done 15mg in the past, but I'm attempting to titrate as slowly as I can) and progress is gradual, yet I'm no longer stuffing myself with food the way I used to, so I'm okay with where I'm at. I had been considering a switch to Reta, but after everything I've read so far, I believe I'll go with a combo instead. This time I've found someone who can supply me 10mg Tz, which is pricey, but I'll just go with that and then be prepared to source it on my own next time Thanks for the advice !

I’m in the same boat! I’m still figuring out how to get around 100%, but it definitely becomes less confusing. I’d been looking around for a few months, though I just made the choice to sign up recently so that I could take part and pose questions.

Absolutely. Just since yesterday evening, I've picked up so much that after a couple of weeks I'll be cruising

From what I gather, Reta lacks the hunger-curbing and food-noise-quieting effects that Tz has. What it does bring is a modest enhancement to fat loss. I also have Cagri on hand and have taken it just 1 time up to now. It works through a separate receptor and delivers appetite suppression only. My dose was .125mg, which is 1/2 of the suggested starting amount, and the results persisted for more than 7 days. If I decide it's needed during the cycle, I'll take it on an "as needed" basis.

Yeah, that matches what I've gathered as well. My plan is to continue with the TZ for now, at least for a bit longer. As for the vials—do they require BAC water to be mixed in, or can they be used as-is? Or is it something that varies?
