Slightly tangential to Expected approval but denise_HTX reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Expected approval.
To answer NauseaFreeNow: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.

Shop Reference StandardsReading this thread on Expected approval hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 283 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 58 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Expected approval — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
