Okay to stay on a tiny dose of Ozempic?

The logic of taking what insurance will cover at the lowest effective dose is reasonable, but the eating-less point applies regardless of which dose you're on. For the OP at 135 and 5'2, the goal is probably a 10-15 lb change which some people achieve at very low doses without going higher. The insurance coverage question and the clinical dose question are two different problems.

Health anxiety improving alongside the weight loss is a connection more people report than you'd expect. 50 lbs in a year with a 5-month gap is still a strong result and the anxiety piece improving too is worth noting for the OP. Staying on a lower dose long-term when it's also doing something for the anxiety side has a different calculus than just the weight piece.
