Time to bump the dose?

my family all lives into their 90s and heart disease isn't really a thing. everyone's got high cholesterol. tried a statin briefly and felt so terrible—fatigue, cramping—it wasn't worth it. found out it can actually raise blood sugar and tank insulin sensitivity, which defeated my whole point of reversing diabetes. cholesterol and triglycerides improved way more since i switched.
 
A plateau after 75 pounds is worth pausing on before automatically bumping the dose - the body may need time to adapt. A few things to think about: how long has the stall actually been (a few weeks is normal, 2+ months is different), and whether calories have crept back up. The max dose on Tirz gives more room if needed, but the side-effect profile shifts as you go higher. Worth a real conversation with whoever manages your prescription before adjusting.
 
Halting GH while running tesa is correct - mechanism overlap reduces the value of stacking both. Standard approach is to confirm tesa baseline before bumping to 1.2. The tirz plateau at that stage is usually satiety ceiling, not a dose issue.
 
Week-to-week variation is normal and worth tracking before a dose decision. What reads as tolerance in week 3 or 4 often resets by week 6. A stall after 75 lbs over 18 months is almost certainly temporary - that consistency points to solid habits.
 
Losing faster than 1-2 lbs per week for an extended stretch puts stress on muscle mass and hair. A maintenance pause or lower dose period at goal weight is worth considering before pushing further.
 
75 lbs at 12.5mg gives you a clear dose history to retitrate back to - most prior users reach their working level within 4-6 weeks. Bump when suppression becomes uneven mid-cycle, not by the schedule.
 
75 lbs in 18 months then a 6-month wall is the bodyweight regulation ceiling, not a failure. 9 lbs on sema from the beginning is early - the full effect opens at the therapeutic dose level and takes weeks to settle.
 
Switching from tirz to reta after a plateau is the right sequence - the dual mechanism gives a fresh response when the original pathway has adapted.
