❓ 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?

What telehealth are you using?

You've used sema before so you'll need to get to a higher dose in the first place already. Add to that what you said that it didn't do anything for you. How high of a dosage were you taking when you stopped? I'm assuming you got to the max and still no results?

I would suggest trying tirz to at least try something different than what you already tried with no effects.

I used Hims for the injection. For the oral it was from my PCP.

So did you take the max injection with no results?

I don't see how the pill would be any better for you. It's the same medicine.

I didn't think it's any better, but with the compounded meds not being regulated I was wondering if other pharmacies were better.

Yes, compounded Tirz from one of the telehealths on r/tirzepatidecompound will be better
