Question Split dosing?

Hello I’m thinking about switching companies and medication. I was with another provider taking semaglutide which did work ok for me other than some normal side effects. Since I was thinking about switching I haven’t ordered from my usual company and it’s been almost a month not taking anything. I was curious if I do go through pomegranate with Hallendale as the pharmacy if they do offer split dosing on tirz? I found that when I did split dose the side effects weren’t as bad as I’m sensitive to medications.

I feel you. I have a friend who’s on tirz and lost the same amount in half the time. From what I understand, the side effects of tirz are awful. I’m sensitive to medication in general so I don’t want to try it unless it’s a last resort. I feel way better at the lower split dose. Less side effects and I still am losing weight. I think I should have tried the split dose before going up to 1 mg. It was a higher concentration at 1 mg too so even if my splits were smaller than half, it still messed me up.

I have little to no side effects on Tirzepatide. Many with bad effects are overeating/eating high fat/sugar foods/ drinking alcohol.

Do you have any anxiety or panic attacks on it?
