Tirz is changing my life!

BP at 120/80 from 140/95 with the snoring gone and resting pulse in the 40s is the cardiovascular package - those markers landing together usually means the autonomic effects are matching the weight change.

The pre-workout mental game to actually get there is real - that external push to start even when you don't feel like it. The results on BP and pulse are strong, those cardiovascular markers tend to respond faster than people expect.

The buffalo vs squirrel comparison is a good one - some people are naturally slow and steady with the effort bursts and the medication doesn't change that. The motivational piece for workouts is separate from the energy capacity; if the actual performance is there when you push, the hard start is probably just personality not medication.

2.5mg is the right starting point - give it the full month before drawing conclusions about whether it's working. The first 4 weeks are more about GI adjustment than seeing the full effect.
