Splitting my dose?

Congrats, you look great! 10mg was my sweet spot too, now on 5mg to maintain. Day before and after shot I get ravenous but manage with healthy snacks. 69, type 2, been on it since March and planning to stay on it.
 
Dose history matters here. A recent decrease changes what splitting or adjusting means. Worth getting specific about the timeline before any new change.
 
Splitting can smooth side effects for some people. Blood levels stay more consistent with twice-weekly. Appetite management tends to even out too. Worth trying if the single dose leaves you rough toward the end.
 
Splitting 2.5mg to start is a legitimate side effect reduction. The dose gap between 2.5 and 5mg is real - the EU 3x2.4mg protocol addresses the same problem. If 1.25mg is working, escalation timing is the next question.
 
Splitting helps with tolerance - half one day, half three days later is what most try first. 750 calories is too low; 1200 with protein is the better floor for stable loss.
 
Extending the interval is the other lever when you want to taper - going from weekly to 10 days to 2 weeks to monthly follows the half-life curve rather than fighting it. Hunger returning is the signal to step back an interval, not to abandon the plan entirely.
