Slow low-dose titration schedule for appetite suppression and weight loss

Sounds good, excited to see how it goes. What pushed you toward starting small like that?

Keep it under one milligram a week for the first month so you can watch how side effects build gradually.

Probably just the rush from the first shot. Good luck with everything.

I would have started with one milliliter if it were me. I weigh less than you and handled one milliliter fine for a month before moving to one point five.

At your size two milligrams would be a better starting point. Where is everyone getting the idea to begin at half a milligram? Pretty sure the feeling was just nerves from the shot itself.

The upbeat feeling is still there, maybe placebo. I have seen half milligram test shots mentioned in several spots. A relative started at that level for a whole month on the research version and did fine. No issue adding another half milligram in a few days if nothing bad happens. Slight headache starting, just keeping an eye on it.

Headache is getting stronger, going to take some ibuprofen.

Already took it. Can switch to acetaminophen later if needed.

Drink plenty of water too. Started at half a milligram myself and felt spaced out for a couple days, though it was not unpleasant. Glad I did not jump higher right away. Nice thing about the research stuff is you control the amount. No rush needed, took years to gain the weight so an extra month or two to lose it is fine.

This is interesting. I might be one of those strong responders like I mentioned earlier, happens with most meds for me. Still have some of the upbeat feeling and the headache is gone. Ate dinner and noticed clear appetite reduction. Only managed a quarter to half my usual first plate and had no interest in seconds. Blood sugar after the meal peaked at ninety to one hundred instead of the usual one twenty to one forty, and three hours later it was down to fifty eight. Felt a bit hungry but not enough to eat. Staying up a bit longer in case it drops more.

Got nervous about the glucose drop last night so had a small snack and it came back up. Headache still gone this morning, the upbeat feeling has faded, and hunger is back. Slept until nine thirty and the sleep score hit ninety five, which matches the recent weeks on daily supplements.

Yesterday felt great. Still get hungry but it does not turn into that angry binge urge. Smaller amounts actually satisfy me, which is new. Alcohol is strongly reduced too. Managed two twelve ounce lagers over a few hours but could not finish more even though it tasted good. Since there were no bad effects and some said the dose was low, thinking about another half milligram today to reach one milligram total for the week.

Good luck with the new start. We seem close in age, height, weight, and daily activity so I will watch your updates. Know there is a fit body under the extra weight too. Have some on the way and hope to start in the next week or so, still deciding between one or two milligrams. Best of luck.

Second shot, another half milligram, total now one milligram. Will see how it goes.

At one milligram total this is more like what I expected. Almost no food thoughts, no real downsides. Got busy after breakfast at nine thirty and did not notice missing lunch until three thirty. Had a couple chicken tenders and wedges on the way home and felt uncomfortably full after just that small amount. Skipped anything heavier. This really works. Oddly my glucose monitor showed the biggest swing yet, from eighty eight up to one fifty three then back to ninety six in an hour.

Today was different. Simple breakfast of two eggs, toast and a few grapes filled me up. Lunch at noon was one chicken breast and green beans and that was almost too much. Then around five I suddenly wanted a snack badly, not starving but the urge was strong. Had a protein shake, peanut butter and cheese to calm it. First time that has happened. No brain fog or headache at work. Still enjoying it and looking forward to reaching two milligrams.

Haven't checked your thread in a while, what dose are you on now?

Starting small here as well. Safer to go slow.

Effects from last night are completely gone. Weighed in this morning with no change. Planning one milligram tomorrow morning. The half milligram test was useful to rule out bad reactions, and the second one kept things going for several days. Any experienced users see a problem with one milligram on Saturday then another half or full milligram Sunday or Monday to reach one point five or two? Still cautious about jumping straight to two given how I reacted at the start.

Stay at one dose level for four weeks. Just did eight milligrams this morning, my third shot, and will probably hold there for at least six weeks.

Let me run some basic half-life numbers here, anyone with more experience feel free to check me. After looking at a calculator, the Saturday 0.5 leaves roughly 0.25 on board while the Monday 0.5 leaves about 0.315, for a combined total near 0.565. Throwing in another 1.0 the next day would land close to what a single 1 mg dose on Saturday would have produced. Early on it seems like levels are still accumulating so clearance might be quicker until things stabilize.

Went ahead with the 1 mg shot this morning around 11:45. Slept in late which is rare for me lately and I wonder if this compound is helping my rest. Curious to see the response at this level. Half-life math puts me around 1.5 mg total on board now.

Within an hour the mild euphoria and appetite control kicked back in. Lunch felt like more of a chore than yesterday when the same amount would have been easy. Looking forward to how this dose level plays out with the earlier amounts still present.

This stuff actually disrupts my sleep rather than improving it. Just let it work and I don't track changes hour by hour anyway.

Maybe it just hasn't impacted my sleep either way yet. My watch shows sleep scores mostly in the 90s lately which I don't recall happening before. Resting heart rate stays inside my usual 10 bpm range. Yesterday while working outside in heat and humidity loading animals I hit 162 bpm on the watch, higher than expected for the effort. I had heart procedures years ago but nothing since then except one bruise.

I think I figured out the sleep piece for me. Been using 25 mg of enclomaphine every other day for six weeks. Missed the dose two nights back and scored only 76. Took it last night and scored 99.

Did 1.5 mg this morning. Slight euphoria showed up again within the hour, the calm clear kind rather than anything strong. By 1:30 pm food noise was way down and I hadn't even thought about lunch. Protein shake went down fine. Nicotine cravings are noticeably quieter too, maybe 90 percent less after decades of use. Got some new research items in the mail today and will start a fresh thread later.

The 1.5 mg dose faded faster than hoped. Alcohol control and quicker fullness stayed but hunger and food thoughts returned to the 0.5 mg level. Today, six days later, I took 2 mg. Same light euphoria appeared again, not from any needle worry since that is gone. Planning to hold at 2 mg for a few weeks since some say that matches my size better than starting lower.

Last week finally showed real scale movement, down about 2 lbs. Took another 2 mg today and felt fine with no euphoria this time. If it stays that way I'll do two more weeks here before moving to 3 mg. Might wrap up this journal thread since the starting phase is done.
