Currently at 0.5mg on my current medication and weighing whether to move up or stay here a bit longer. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher.

Does anyone else stay at 0.5mg longer than the standard schedule?
Curious how long you've been sitting at 0.5 already. I'm down 38 and still on it, mostly because I'd rather not fix what isn't broken.
honestly how long have you been sitting at 0.5? I ask because I told myself I'd move up when the appetite quieting faded, and it just never did
How long have you actually been at 0.5? I jumped off 2.5 after about six weeks on tirzepatide, mostly because the food noise came back loud
How long have you been sitting at 0.5? I stalled out around week six and just stayed put for another month, the appetite control held fine for me.
idk, i stayed at 0.5 for about three months too. The appetite control was steady and I didn't see a reason to rush it.
How long have you been at 0.5? I'm only at 0.25 myself and still adjusting, so i'm curious what tells you it's a sweet spot vs just early days
idk, i stayed on my starting dose until the food noise crept back in, then moved. Being on the pill form means my ramp is a bit different from the pen crowd, but the hold-until-it-fades logic is the same
Curious how long you've actually been sitting at 0.5. I white-knuckled it there for a stretch myself before things felt like they were slipping
How long did it take before you noticed suppression getting weaker? I stayed at my dose for a few extra weeks and only figured out it was time when the food noise crept back in
I stayed at each step on Mounjaro until the appetite control clearly faded, and a few of those stretches ran way past what the schedule called for. 12.5 is where I've been parked for a while now and I have no urge to jump to 15 just because the calendar says so.
Curious whether your appetite control at 0.5 has stayed flat or started wearing off toward the end of the week. Mine got a little patchy around day six which is the only thing that had me thinking about moving up.
How long have you been at 0.5? I'm down about 30 and stalled out at a step for weeks, which was fine by me since the food noise stayed low the whole time.
I'm a bit past where you are and still at my starting step, mostly because the appetite quiet has held. What's making you consider moving up at all?
How's the food noise at 0.5 for you? Mine stayed quiet for weeks before it started creeping back, and that was my cue to bump up.
How long have you been sitting at 0.5? I stayed on mine for a couple months before the noise crept back, and that's the only thing that pushed me up
How long have you been holding at 0.5? I only bumped up once the quiet in my head wore off, and that took way longer than the calendar said it would.
What made you decide 0.5 was the sweet spot rather than just the dose you happened to be on when things calmed down?
How long have you been at 0.5? I'm only a couple weeks in and still figuring out whether this dose is doing anything for me.
I stayed at 0.5 for an extra month too and only moved when the food noise crept back in. Curious what your appetite looks like right now?
