Time for a Reset

Not sure what to tell you. Keep us updated. I don't know much about it anyway. Maybe I'm not even real.

I'm wondering what others think about this idea from your post. I was considering it after seeing a reddit thread where people attacked someone for stopping her prescribed 7.5 mg mounjaro because she felt awful. They insisted she shouldn't have paused and would have to restart at 2.5 mg with probably poor results since her body was already adapted. How much of that is real versus pharma pushing the idea so patients never stop paying for full doses every month.

There's not much research on cycling these glp-1 meds so we mostly have personal stories to go on. From what I've seen in many threads some accounts suggest restarting after a pause isn't as effective and often requires higher amounts to get results again. This applies more when actively trying to lose weight rather than in maintenance. Breaks during maintenance seem less troublesome. There's a recent press release on a rat study hinting that stopping and starting can lower how well glp-1s work. It will be interesting to watch how your restart goes. Please update us.

Could you split the dose instead? Maybe divide the weekly amount into two shots spaced 3-4 days apart to ease the nausea.

Do whatever you feel is right for yourself. Some here trust doctors who are really just chiropractors not even allowed to give massages anymore yet they spread nonsense on YouTube and people fall for it completely.

First of the month I restarted at 2.5 mg. All the discussion prompted me to add another 2.5 mg the following day. Got decent hunger control and the usual penalty if I overeat. Won't weigh myself until mid-week. This turns one week's supply into a month's worth. I'd be fine continuing this way all summer.

Building on that earlier point there's plenty of personal reports that going off and back on these meds makes future weight loss harder. I had a similar experience when I jumped to 10 mg after titrating too quickly each month. Dropped back to 7.5 for about six weeks then returned to 10 because my food choices slipped. It looks like you just need to find the right dose for you the lowest one that still gives steady loss. Even half a pound weekly adds up to 26 pounds in a year. It's a long process.

I'm stopping now that I've hit goal weight and will take a break during a month of travel. Was on 9 mg tirz and lost 65 lbs. Curious how I'll feel around food and about my mood and motivation after six months on it. Will restart when I return starting at 2.5 mg to test it out.
