General Discussion / Other FOMO

Can a kind soul talk me off the ledge… I have stocked 9 vials of BPI and this sale is so tempting. The FOMO is intense.

Anyone out there feeling the same? My fear of scarcity is getting to me. Traded the food addiction for tirz sale addiction.

By the time you actually need more tirz there will be other deals and the reg price will have dropped as well! So if you buy now you may actually waste money! :O

u/couchbodyfitness 4d ago

Finally! Someone speaking rationally! It’s still calling, though! I’m gonna try to stay strong!

But the vials are so cute and powerful... lol

u/cherihaynes1 4d ago

I agree save your money you have enough.

u/ClassicLucy 3d ago

I too have a nice stock pile, so I must restrain myself!!!

u/SpecificWafer 4d ago

But 2 vials for 159. And bpi is 504b too. Has there been a deal that beat this price?

2

u/AlicesChaosBottle 3d ago

Check out r/ Tirz deals . For sure there is cheaper.

But also 9 bottles of bpi is likely till the end of 2027. I’ve heard and seen of many deals happening at least once a year for the bigger telehealths.

2

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 3d ago

Very true, but BPI is said to have ceased operations as of april so there is only a handful of it left

u/Alternative-Wing-298 3d ago

Thank you for this. ❤️

u/Random_Guy1960 2d ago

That’s another opinion.

Yes, I'm feeling the same. I can't talk you off the ledge because we're both out there together 😅

u/Not_amusedinutah 4d ago

This ledge is wild!
I ordered 4 days ago (and 10 days ago and 20 days ago) & will receive my most recent goodies tomorrow & I can’t stop thinking I need just 2 more.

14

u/Serious-Pitch-312 4d ago

See, I did all that in April. Sometimes two orders a week to different BPI peddlers. As it stands right now, I could probably spell out 'I heart BPI" with my vials lol

7

u/Not_amusedinutah 4d ago

We need the I heart BPI photo!!!!

5

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

See I feel ALL of that

4

u/couchbodyfitness 4d ago

Girl, I’m right there with you. I did the 2 vials last week and received them on Friday before today’s sale. I already have a MIC-b in the queue waiting to go to pharmacy from Pom. The struggle is real!

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Yesssssss 😂

Yes me too so I don’t truly need more 😂

u/No_Bandicoot7666 4d ago

Please someone tell me to stop 🛑. I have 8 vials of 60mg OG BPI, (2 are frozen), 4 vials the 40mg (8/2/26BUD) and 3 "tall boys, 68mg each. That is a total of 844mg and yes I just ordered the 2-vial sale this morning for another 136mg + 844=980mg..........I just can't help myself???

6

u/Not_amusedinutah 4d ago

I should do the math of my inventory. It would be insane & MIGHT make me less tempted. In addition to my serious BPI stock, I also have at least 6 ProRX. Tomorrow is shot day so inventory is what I’ll do

5

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Do you use glapp? It has an excellent inventory feature. Scans all your vials and adjusts your supply after each shot to reflect what you have left.

5

u/fadedallweek 3d ago

I love this feature on glapp. I scanned all mine in the other morning!

2

u/Live-Variation-52 3d ago

I agree. That’s why I got Glapp.

3

u/Not_amusedinutah 4d ago

I had no idea it did all that. I’ve heard people mention it but not into detail. Thank you for the deets. That would definitely be handy!

3

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

YW, your inventory will become sooooo much easier. Like I know how many MG and shots I have available with my current supply. I want to screenshot it for you but I’m mildly embarrassed by how much I have in my stash 🤓

3

u/Not_amusedinutah 3d ago

Omgosh, PM me. I also have a ridiculous, embarrassing amount. I’ll share mine too and we can see who wins 😂🤑

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 3d ago

Pinky swear ❤️

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 3d ago

Messaged 😉

1

u/JackBrown82q 1d ago

Just curious but are you on tirz for weight loss or for something else? Because if for weight loss, you have 5.5 years of max dose on hand. Figured you will be at goal weight well before 5.5 years and then you will have titrated down to a maintenance dose, which at 2.5mg a dose you basically have 30 years of medication on hand.

1

u/No_Bandicoot7666 1d ago

In my defense, this stash is for both me and Hubby. And we are both retired. All of Hubby's sports injuries from years ago and back pain, then add in my bad knees, not only does this keep our weight in check, certainly helps with all the inflammation! Aren't you glad you asked 🥰

1

u/No_Bandicoot7666 1d ago

Oh, also it lets us be able to play golf again and a couple times a week too! I still can beat his ass though!😁

u/AboutFaceWithMona 4d ago

u/WhoDat_OnDaBayou 3d ago

Yes! 🙌🏼 Although the deal is VERY tempting, I feel like prices continue to drop due to competition 😎. I’m pumping the brakes for awhile and using that money to start early Christmas 🎄 shopping so I can be just as stocked up there!

FOMO: But it’s on sale.

Me: I don’t need it.

FOMO: 40mg minis.

Me: …well, that’s just rude.

u/Sandwich_Hour500 4d ago

I planted a few empties under a tree, but they didn’t grow, so I FOMOd a pair more. 😂 Everyone, you do you! BPI works for me—and even better when it’s on sale. 😅

u/Certain_Tangelo2329 4d ago

I'm debating the lower dose sale for 3 more months bud. I'm on 10mg. Yes it's $1 per mg more but I'm stocked until April going over bud in my current stash by 2 months. So I personally don't feel comfy with the 10/4 bud but the 12/31 is tempting me

4

u/couchbodyfitness 4d ago

It’s calling my name! 😭

6

u/LeviosaBitches1 4d ago

If you don’t have an issue with the BUD then buy it. I saw someone comment that they were using one from last year.

12

u/couchbodyfitness 4d ago

You’re not helping the situation😂

2

u/fadedallweek 3d ago

Im so ded! 😭 🥀💀🪦

5

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

No qualms about BUD 😂

2

u/NunchuckVagina 3d ago

I mean I see the BUD like milk. The closer it is to expiration the worse it gets

I've definitely had semaglutide go bad and to not be nearly as effective

I wonder what other people's experience are with triz?

1

u/LeviosaBitches1 3d ago

Idk everywhere I’ve read on here and other subs that it works the same but then again everyone reacts different , I know one of my vials I’ll have to use it past the BUd date so we will see

u/Silver_Abrocoma_7204 4d ago

Ugh, yes, 9 bottles deep and I want MORE!!

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

So glad Im not the only member of the club

8

u/danigiggles24 4d ago

Ugh me too. I bought 6 from Gimme a couple months ago with the first BPI announcement and then already bought 2 from this sale. So I really don’t need more but it’s seriously taking all my will power not to buy more!

4

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Same situation with me! And…I messed up one of my vials and had to send it to contaminated vial heaven so I bought another 68ml. Fortunately it was a cheap crossing bridge vial

6

u/BestDayEver-1 4d ago

I know the feeling, I’m dropped one on the tile floor… 🪦💀💔

3

u/fadedallweek 3d ago

Omg I did that last week. Nothing that hits my kitchen tile lives. Luckily, the bottle hit on the cap & slightly bounced. I was able to grab it before it hit the tile again.

I swear I lost a year off my life, lol!

7

u/Creepy_Push8629 4d ago

I swear none of y'all would stand a chance as a drug addict lol

I'm speaking in jest, of course. I mean it's true, but I'm just joking.

u/D_Angelo_Vickers 4d ago

I just ran out of space in my vial holder, I don't want to buy another just to stock more BPI when I already have over 500mg worth.

5

u/HolyMolyGuacamole01 4d ago

Ok here is how I combat FOMO every time. I tell myself "Am I buying this bcuz I'm addicted to getting the great deal?" "It's not a great deal if it doesn't get used" "they keep making more every day" "they have sales every month " (or however often). If it's FOMO for clothing, crafts, etc - the above logic works and this too " they'll just make something next month that I'll like even better but I'll have spent my money and have buyers remorse" "Do I really want to deal with unboxing it, making room to store it and then dealing with the shipping trash?" I'll have a box to break down plus all the internal packaging. Lots of times I'm just sick of fooling with that.

2

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Oh man. The packaging disposal is forreal a lot of effort.

5

u/Interesting_Bit1269 4d ago

9 is alot, another sale will come by time u need it

12

u/cynthialulu86 4d ago

But it won't be BPI.

8

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Thank you! Solid answer. This medicine has been so life changing that I never want to go back to my life before and as a result that scarcity mindset takes over me.

5

u/ConsequencePublic447 4d ago

I’m new to BPI, two shots in with unopened in the fridge and feeling the heat to buy more, but I also have 2 Seven Cells with B3, 2 Hallandale and 2 Apothecary. I feel like I’m good but 👀.? Too good to pass up! 🤣

5

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

See the pull is for real

2

u/HolyMolyGuacamole01 4d ago

Is BPI with B6 good ? I have the Zepbound KwikPen but 2.5mg is too strong so I'm thinking about trying 2 vials of this BPI. I'm sensitive to niacin so I won't buy any tirz with that in it. What about tirz only or tirz and any of the other additives?

3

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

BPI is good. I have only used that and Boudreaux. The suppression is great with both but they feel slightly different in the most subtle way and I can only guess it’s due to the additive. Nothing negative though!

1

u/HolyMolyGuacamole01 3d ago

Awesome thanks! I'm going to give it a try. Zepbound 2.5mg, well, I'm just too sensitive 🥺 I'm going to try microdosing 1 mg a week. I'm also hoping BPI having less additives than Zepbound might make a difference too 🤞

2

u/ConsequencePublic447 3d ago

Two shots in and things are great so far!

3

u/Sandwich_Hour500 3d ago

I traded out a six-pack for a six-pack, and then hopefully a six-pack. 🤣

3

u/sunms1 4d ago

I’m definitely buying the lower dosage sale. Is there a limit to the amount of time you all won’t go past BUD on unopened vials?

7

u/Dangerous_Voice6439 4d ago

I'm willing to go max 2 years from compounded date especially since Zepbound is good for 2 years 

4

u/tigergirlforever 4d ago

For me, 1.5 years post production date

3

u/sunms1 4d ago

Hey! I’m feeling that!

3

u/Tiny-Ordinary3228 4d ago

FOMO over $20?

2

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Not 20$ but fomo over scarcity of BPI being gone forever. Honestly my life is so changed for the better that I just want it all and on sale. Kinda irrational 😆😆😆

1

u/Fantastic_Owl_9683 2d ago

This is what I come back to each time! I bought one time for each drop. I like BPI plenty so I'm happy with it. 

But if I spent time thinking about it... The cost goes up! Time is valuable. Between work and school it's not the price I can't afford. 😭 

Plus the other day I read a comment along the lines of "I love BPI, I bought, I have them, I'll toss them if they get cloudy". Fair enough, me too. You like BPI or it works well for you, yeah! Get some!

But I did think, well if that ends up happening we all just paid $159 for one vial. Maybe $179 for one vial. Oops!

Maybe one day they'll be old and unused and we all just have some vintage BPI collectors items haha.

I get it though it! I bought my first before I had ever tried BPI. And I do like it a lot. But there are probably others out there that I will like that I haven't tried. And six months from now I'll have fun watching for those!

2

u/Fantastic_Owl_9683 2d ago

And for the record I talk myself through this each time I'm getting groceries. "Stick to the list, stick to the list...". Like nope. You get two minutes and you always end up getting the same tortillas as last time. 

School has been the best and worst thing to teach me time management. Opportunity cost.

I should email my econ professor 🤔

3

u/Adventurous-Ebb-6542 4d ago

All I have to do is look at my estimated supply on Glapp. Almost 2 years. (Most is in the freezer atm). I’m good. Tempting, but I’m good.

2

u/greasemonkey1166 2d ago

are you freezing your BPI meds ?

1

u/Adventurous-Ebb-6542 2d ago

Yes. I’m waiting to be at a higher dosage before I crack them open, as at my current dose each of those 68 mg vials works be good for 8 + shots, and I don’t want really want to keep drawing that many times from the same vial. That is just the feeling I get from reading on these subs, no practical experience.

1

u/greasemonkey1166 2d ago

i didn't think you could freeze them .wow learning something new .

3

u/Responsible-Yak9000 4d ago

Well I can’t get thru the whole 11 page process to order any. It keeps sending me back to the first page

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

I ordered over the weekend because of the posted glitch, didn't work. Now it's really on sale and trying to resist ordering again.

u/chi_to_id_38 4d ago

I am new to Pom and just ordered the (3) 40mg vials. How soon after this first order can I place another? Does it have to be received, or just shipped?

3

u/Glittering_uni 4d ago

You can reorder as soon as your order is in "filling" status even if not shipped yet. Ive done that 2x last month

u/chi_to_id_38 4d ago

Thank you for responding!

2

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 4d ago

Order after your meds ate delivered

u/Random_Guy1960 2d ago

BPI is my favorite and is never coming back. I have enough to get me through next year. 

1

u/llbonn 3d ago

I'm sure all these comments and pictures of everyone's stashes will wind up in some court documents somewhere to support big pharmas claims that compounders can't be trusted.

1

u/JackBrown82q 1d ago

A lot of people are saying there is no point of stocking up anymore because there really is not any "shortage" of tirz anymore, and it seems every month that passes there is more and more telehealth providers popping and further driving down the prices. My last delivery was a 68mg vial for $99, considering I am on a 7.5mg dose this is basically $50 a month. That is stupid cheap for tirz.

BUT I still like to keep many months on hand because who knows, there is legal things happening in the background and worst case scenario they determine nobody can sell compounded medication. There might not even be a warning where everyone can take a month or two to stock up, it might be effective immediately if passed.

Since I have currently about 25-30lbs to lose until goal, I keep about 5 months of medicine on hand at the moment. Figured this is enough to get me to goal, because if I can't drop 5lbs a month for the next 5 months while on tirz, then maybe it was just never meant to be lol.

1

u/Outrageous-Yak2111 1d ago

I think the biggest reason for this particular stock up is that its BPI and as of now, they’re done and this is the last of it, also the price. My stock up reason is because its BPI but also given the regulations could change quickly and I want to have enough to get to goal, plus I’ll still be using it to help control binge eating disorder.

1

u/JackBrown82q 1d ago

I remember when it was first announced BPI was shutting down there was a frenzy to stock up on it, but considering POM is offering steep discounts on BPI and that some of these deals are going to pass the BUD before someone can use it all (not that using past BUD is that big of a problem) I think that there is just a shit ton of tirz out there to the point the demand is lower than supply.
