A year on tirz for me, and I never went past 7.5mg weekly. I just reached goal weight and I'm stepping down now, 4mg last week. I thought about spacing the shots further apart, but decided to lower the weekly dose instead. Hoping to land at 2.5mg or so without the old stuff coming back: sore...

Thanks for the tips, and I'm really glad things are better for you after that awful stretch on ozempic. I do believe 2.5 mg can be enough. Mine was microdosed with syringes. Congrats to you too!!

That's been going on since before reta even started so I don't think it's fair to pin it entirely on the medication, but worth flagging to your doctor either way since chronic low sodium isn't something to just monitor forever without a plan.

Well, there's a lot of research pointing to Glp1 cutting back alcohol cravings and drinking overall. Apparently it even helps with actual alcohol abuse. Worth searching up the JAMA Psychiatry piece on this if you want the details, it's a solid read.

Was on 2mg Ozempic for years. My lowest A1C ever hit was 5.7. Stopped in March of last year after thyroid nodules turned up and worried me, restarted in May once the biopsy came back clear, then moved to Mounjaro in July. First Mounjaro dose landed a week after my final Ozempic shot. No weight...

Thanks, yeah figured that part out eventually. Ended up using what little I had left, switched things up again, and grabbed some fresh bac water for the next order. Worst case scenario, right? Better run before someone comes looking for this post.

Two pounds weekly is ideal, I averaged around 2.2. Skip the middle amount, jump straight to the next level up. Trust me, that in-between step isn't worth it. Right now's actually the one exception where I'm bumping up a full unit at once. Just wrapping five weeks at the current level and moving...

Been running this medication for nineteen months now (132 pounds down, another 40-55 to go). Still can't get over it. Having that mental off-switch feels incredible.

Standing 5'9, male, weighing 156lbs. Taking Mounjaro. Wasn't originally developed as a weight-loss drug at all. It's built for type 2 diabetes management. Nothing else I've tried has kept my glucose this stable.

If you've got a click-based pen, just count clicks. Ask an AI assistant to calculate how many you need for your target amount. I run 24 clicks on a 5mg pen to land at a 2mg dose.

Here's another data point. Not quite as drastic a break as what you're planning, but I just got back from an eleven-day trip. Took my regular 4mg Reta dose three days ahead of schedule right before leaving, then picked back up with 4mg the day after getting home, a day later than usual. Appetite...

Very similar story here. Sitting about 10lbs under my target with a BMI around 18.7. Could stand to put back 7-14lbs, but the idea of gaining scares me honestly. I purposely went a bit below my target for cushion room once I eventually stop, but part of me doesn't want to touch that buffer...

Thank you!!! Feeling so much better too. Funny thing is I was genuinely fine being 'bigger,' being tall meant the weight distributed reasonably well. But gaining is still gaining, and I felt awful pretty much constantly. My doctor ran a full body composition scan, the kind that tracks not just...

Everyone reading this, name three categories of things you're currently paying less for compared to a year ago, and share your answers. I can only come up with one for myself, and that's this drug class.

Started Ozempic mid-June, first four shots at .25, the last couple bumped to .50. Weighing in daily since I'm also doing the Virta Health program - my starting number was 235.4 and I checked in at 217.6 this morning. Sticking to the basics, mostly making sure protein's covered, keeping carbs...
