[PSA] Apotheke is not what most of this community thinks it is

PSA Well Actually ×2 Sourced ×3

Week 2 update. 13kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 42.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Came off after 19 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Yeah, EU rules is usually national rules.

Today's date for the pricing?

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Small correction: the trial was 24 weeks, not 28. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.

The fatigue was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

This is correct. Tag your country.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

u/enzo_petrescu14 points·1 year ago

pricing posts need date and currency

Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 94.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

u/greta_nilsen2 points·1 year ago

Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 94.2.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Stalled for 4 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 19.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 63 weeks to accept.

c/glp1eu rules
  1. Tag your country in the title. Bare "EU" questions get a template reply.
  2. Pricing posts need the date and the currency.
  3. EMA and national agency claims need a citation.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
