Same lol. I've been sitting on them for over a year now, too afraid to actually put that stuff in me.
You use any specific online calculator for dosing?
Did you buy from China? Or from a middleman that had the batch tested? Honestly if it was tested I’d really not worry about it (and even if it wasn’t I personally feel that stuff like tirzepatide tests as clean so often in the grey space that subcutanous injections done properly really don’t represent that much risk).

With the GLPs I’d say start with half the recommended starting dose for your first week to assess if you’re a super responder. Splitting the dose into bi weekly can also help smooth out the intensity if the side effects are too much. I personally ended up using a smart scale and only increased my dose when I was plateauing, which helped keep the effects mild (also lower doses meant spending even less).
Make sure to reconstitute with Hospira bacteriostatic water, the other stuff is such a crapshoot and not worth the risk. Watch videos on how to do injections/recon/etc.
