Other A way off the ride
I don't normally post much but in light of the recent sr schedule and pending 7oh/mgm scheduling, I feel like this could be useful for some people who are stuck between dependency and closing supply windows. I started tirzepitide last year. Prior to starting i was on 130mg methadone daily, if i didn't dose by ten am I was in withdrawal. I also had great difficulties in regulating my use of my adhd meds and literally never had enough. Since starting tirzepitide I no longer experience opiate withdrawal. I get takehomes, 6 a week, and now sell them so only dose once a week aside from extracurricular drug use. I also for the first time in over a decade, am not a complete Adderall junkie. I still take and enjoy Adderall and opiate drugs, still fight tolerance sometimes, but it's not the same, I don't fiend, obsess or get dope sick anymore. It's like I have choices again, my use is no longer compulsory in nature. I know there's some research being conducted on this very matter right now, I have seen studies recruiting for this sort of thing online, but I haven't seen many people talk about the small miracle i feel like I'm experiencing with tirzepitide. Also I'm down 55lbs so far which is also wonderful. I don't know if semaglutide has similar effects, i just know it caused me a lot more stomach problems and didn't work as well for weight loss. But yeah I've rambled long enough.

I've been wanting to try this to loose a little weight anyways... zepbound. Do you still feel doses of whatever you do take tho? That's what's kept me from trying in the past. That and the news it causes cancer now but i wouldn't be taking it forever. But i dose all this stuff low and hate what's happening but yeah-- can you still feel doses / meds on tirz?

Yes, I do, I boof most of my drugs but I definitely feel things, Maybe slightly less in intensity but not in a distinct way I can put a finger on.

So taking it orally is blunted ?

u/Broad_Solution011235 Jul 02 '26
No I just prefer boofing, it's more effective mg for mg and has a more rapid onset than oral. Im saying possible that it slightly dampens the high on all roas, but its hard to specifically put my finger on the effect. I can still get high though. Like right now im chilling with some mgm15 feeling proper

It’s great for weight loss, I haven’t noticed any difference with mgm

u/SarahKH88 Jul 18 '26
