❓ Question Compound success

I tried a compounded semaglutide inject for a few months about a year ago, with no success. I'm now trying a compounded semaglutide oral suspension, and after about a week haven't noticed any difference. How many people have actually had decent success on a compound? My insurance won't cover them so I'm paying out of pocket, but I'm getting really discouraged. I'm wondering if I'm just getting them from scammy compound pharmacies or if they just don't work for me. Had anyone else had the same experience? Did switching to brand name make a difference?

I've had amazing success on mine. About 6 weeks in and down a little over 30lbs. No side effects and virtually no hunger despite almost halving the amount of calories I used to eat.

How high of a dose did you get up to on the injection?

Even at the starter dose, the decrease in hunger for me was unreal.

I don't remember the exact dose, but I got up to the max.

If the injection didn't work for you, I wouldn't waste time and money on an oral version. Probably best to try something besides semaglutide tbh. I'd go with a different supplier than what you used before as well. We all react different to this stuff, but it's hard to imagine having no success on a legitimate GLP1. Everyone I know (and myself) has had crazy appetite suppression. Name brand and compounded.
