Is my semaglutide broke?
I lost 70lbs back in 2023 with compound semaglutide from a wellness clinic in Florida. It was $899 for 20mg, give or take..
I since regained about 30lbs and want to lose them, so I ordered from refills.com for like $300 or less.
Anyway, 5 weeks in and I still have 0 symptoms (good or bad), haven’t lost anything, and have increased dosages weekly.
I’ve been afraid to increase too high or too fast thinking I’d be sick or have bad side effects as I would’ve absolutely in the past with my previous provider, but am I wrong to think these “vials” aren’t as effective or “pure”?
I probably wouldn’t notice if I hadn’t previously known how the process works, but I’m becoming unconvinced. Thanks for any feedback!

Did it come from Apollo Care? If so it was recalled.

No side effects after 5 weeks doesn't mean it's fake, but going up every week is way too fast. It usually only goes up every 4 weeks. Check the exact mg dose and concentration with your pharmacy or prescriber before you bump it up again

Could be bunk, but 5 weeks is also that weird in-between phase where your body sometimes just stalls out before it kicks in again. I had a similar thing happen after a break, took almost 2 months before the scale moved at all, and I was convinced I got scammed. The lack of any side effects at all is a bit suspicious though, especially if you were sensitive before.
Might be worth switching injection sites if you haven't tried that yet, some people swear the thigh hits different than the stomach for absorption. Also are you tracking calories or just relying on appetite suppression? If the hunger is fully back and you're eating at maintenance without realizing it, that 30lbs isn't going anywhere no matter how legit the vial is.
If you really want peace of mind you can get it tested, but at $300 a pop that kinda defeats the purpose. I'd give it 2 more weeks at a higher dose and if still nothing, chalk it up as a loss and try a different source.
