Mine went the same way, slower. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

dosing arithmetic — critical reminder about tirzepatide dose equivalence across formulations:

Mounjaro KwikPen and compounded tirzepatide are the same molecule but:

  • KwikPen is ready to inject, no mixing needed
  • Compounded requires reconstitution and proper syringe technique
  • Verify your compounded concentration before each injection
  • Never assume 1 vial = 1 dose without checking the math

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

Following on from PharmD_Rodriguez — and this may be the naive question:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

I do not accept the framing. The question has been narrowed to the version that has a tidy answer, and the part that was dropped is the part the OP actually asked about.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.
