These drugs are a godsend for so many (me included, on retatrutide) but especially for those of us here in America - legal environment broad enough to get them, relatively wealthy enough to afford them, and notably fat enough to benefit from them. The diffusion of this technology through the US might well increase American lifespan in a notable way.
Now all we need is an easy pill that makes you hate opioids.
Zepbound has been a godsend for me—trying unsuccessfully to lose weight for two decades now…
One weird aspect of it working as well as it has on me is that when I see people who are morbidly obese in public now I have to fight the urge to proselytize GLP-1.
How are you getting retatrutide? Are you in a trial? How is it working for you?
Small peptide suppliers make them. You order by generic identifier & compound yourself. My identical twin & I are running an exponent: I'm on foundayo, he's on retatrutide. I'm down about 10 lbs. he's down 35.
Real gamble, that. You're injecting something that no regulatory body that said was safe and that that supplier is giving you what they say they are? Just like injecting whatever it is they happen to give you?

What's the experiment?
"Person A takes Foundayo, Person B takes mystery drug?"
Not sure what you think you're learning from that.

There is an injection for opiods that works for a month at a time. It really annoys me because we’re still giving people methadone every day even though this injection exists.
Supposedly narcan does that. Instead of after an overdose, if you have narcan administered beforehand, opioids are no fun.
Not about to try and get some first hand experience with that tho!
No, it blocks the effects of opioids, but it doesn't remove the cravings or withdrawal
And it only lasts minutes.
