ok so probably a dumb question but i keep seeing posts where someone switches from one compound pharmacy to another and says it feels exactly the same, great suppression, no side effects, similar experience. and i believe them, i’m not saying they’re wrong. but i genuinely can’t figure out how you’d know. like if you’ve been on tirz for a few months and you switch compounders, you’re already adapted to the drug. your baseline suppression is different than week one. your body has changed. so when you say the new vial feels the same, is that the new vial, or is that just… you, at month four? the posts that cite same concentration and same inactive ingredients as evidence seem to assume those two things determine the outcome, but i’ve read enough threads here to know that people’s experiences vary a lot even within the same product. so same label doesn’t straightforwardly mean same result. what would it actually take to do a fair comparison? run both sources at identical doses in identical conditions over the same time window? that’s obviously not how anyone does it. i’m not trying to be annoying about this, i’m genuinely new and trying to figure out how to read these first-impression posts. like what are they actually telling me vs what am i projecting onto them. is there a better way to think about compounder comparisons that i’m missing?
