Selecting medication
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.
