If I'm new to Orderly (and tirzepatide), should I choose the 3, 6, or 12 month option? What are the pros/cons of choosing a longer duration? And how do the 5 month extended vials fit in?
Thank you for all of your amazing research and for putting this site together! Just building this site was no small task, I'm sure!
I've just added a page dedicated to weight loss stalls. Such a common part of everyone's journey!

Available today - they're sending an email to tell everyone at some point, but here's the scoop! Order now, ships mid-November.
Here's a referral link to get more info / sign up if you decide to get on board before the FDA decision potentially changes in January. Great way to get a jump on New Years resolutions around our health too because tirzepatide may or may not be available. Semaglutide will. Use code GO4ORDERLY for $50 off works in some situations, and I get credit for you using it too. Helps keep the site going since I decided against ads on here. Thanks 🙂

I am exploring using tirzepitide or semaglutide. I think tirzepitide is a better choice for my weightloss goals. Given the current status of the FDA case of removing the shortage status of tirzepitide, would choosing semaglutide be a wiser choice? I am worried about starting a tirzepitide and then having to transition to semaglutide if a decision is made relatively soon. Thank you!
Great question. If I were to start right now, with tirzepatide uncertain after the end of the year, I might stock up on tirzepatide with as much as I felt comfortable investing. With you starting out, the dose will be low and a Regenics bulk vial - https://regenics.com/?ref=6231 DROP10 for 10% off - would last you quite a long time (if your provider thought tirzepatide would be a good fit for you). Then if needed, you could potentially transition to compounded semaglutide, which will be available longer.
I do think there will continue to be options for tirzepatide through next year, but that's just a hunch based on my industry info. I don't think people who sign up now for month-to-month will have a problem sourcing it from the reputable providers I talk about for quite a while if they sign up now. I don't know if they'll be able to take on new tirzepatide patients after/if the availability changes, but continue to service the ones they have and offer to transition to sema if necessary.

Semaglutide has worked for a lot of people. Some people have greater side effects on one or the other but I've read a lot of experiences (a lot) and there doesn't seem to be a pattern. It's highly individualized. I will probably try semaglutide for maintenance. Let me know if that's helpful.
Great question! Usually by "microdosing", we are talking about maintenance phase where we would dose a little, sometimes spaced out, just to maintain. If that's the case here, yes, Orderly offers customized maintenance programs. Some people also just stock up at their full high dose and put it on pause while they titrate down and microdose per the provider's recommendation. But either way, yes, they are a good option for that.
And you're totally welcome! I'm working on a section about overcoming stalls next.
