Dosing titration strategies side effects and results for weight loss medication

Fifth shot since beginning, second time at the 5mg level.

Hello, I've gone through the TRIUMPH trial info and the safety papers from journals. Started lower since my BMI is below what they used in studies. Perhaps not the best call but I preferred caution. Do you think I should stick with 1mg for four weeks minimum, even if effects are minimal at that level? Appreciate it 🙂

I skip fb, insta and tiktok. Mostly been looking at reddit and some pieces online. Checked the Eli Lilly site as well, though parts of it are tough for me since English isn't my first language and I lack any biochemistry background. That's the main reason I'm here, to pick up more on the topic away from the usual reddit clutter.

did you weigh yourself?

Wondering how things are going for you lately. Has any suppression occurred yet?

For five weeks I've been using one or slightly more than that. Today I thought about trying two but instead went with one point five to check my reaction in the following week. I'm also taking five milligrams of Tirz. I keep questioning if I should stick to just a single one yet I'm combining both.

After beginning on two milligrams for seven days with zero issues, I've continued at two and a half milligrams for the past three weeks. The weight hasn't dropped much at all. Should I try going higher?

I've been taking this amount weekly for about eight weeks now and the impacts haven't faded yet. Might raise it in the near future. I'm getting close to finishing my dieting phase so I'll have to figure out how to handle staying steady or easing off.

You nearly copied the exact handle I use 😳. It took six or seven weeks before I noticed any effects at all. My reaction matched the one you described from that medication. After the starting small dose I expected results to show up the next morning.

Time has passed since that message got mentioned by someone else. Any new details on how things went? After just seven days at the lower amount, the next step was two milligrams, but with extra time already spent there it made sense to remain at one milligram for a full month. That lets the medication accumulate properly. The trial schedule was followed with a few personal tweaks, reaching ten milligrams before shifting into the steady phase. Early side effects seemed unlikely at the starting level, though anything can happen. Every level stayed in place for a month before any increase. The initial reaction faded on its own after a while. Four milligrams felt like the right move next. Meals included occasional starches such as a plain potato rather than sweets, and that approach supported further reduction even when not intended. During the steady phase extra pounds came off without effort.
