Does anyone else stay at 0.5mg longer than the standard schedule?

I stayed at 0.5 for about three months and the appetite quiet stayed steady the whole time, so I never saw a reason to climb.

curious what makes it feel like a sweet spot for you, is it appetite stuff or how you feel day to day?

I stayed put at 0.5 for a couple months past the usual point, mostly because the appetite cover was still holding and I saw no reason to rush it. It stopped feeling like enough eventually, and that was my signal to move.

How long have you actually been sitting at 0.5? I'm curious because I stalled out around month two on it and that's what pushed me up

I've been on 0.5 for about six weeks and the appetite suppression is still solid, so I get not wanting to rush it. What's making you consider moving up at all?

How long have you been at 0.5 so far? I'm only a few pounds in myself and trying to figure out if staying put this early is normal.

How long have you been sitting at 0.5? I jumped to 1mg faster than i probably needed to and have wondered since if i should have parked there a while

honestly, how do you tell the difference between real hunger coming back and just a quiet week? I stayed at 0.5 a while myself and never quite figured that out.

honestly, i stayed at 0.5 for a couple months past when my prescriber first floated going up, mostly because the appetite suppression was still solid and I didn't see the point in rushing it. My own line was that I'd move when the quiet wore off, not when the calendar said so.

I've been at 3.0 on Saxenda for a few weeks now and I'm in no rush to bump it either. Curious how you'll know when it's actually time to move up, is it the food noise coming back or something else for you?

honestly how long have you been sitting at 0.5? I'm a couple months in at that dose and the quiet is still holding for me, so I get not wanting to mess with it

I parked at 0.5 for a couple months myself and only moved up once the quiet started wearing off in the evenings.

Only a couple pounds down here so far but I'm in no rush either, still on the low end and the appetite suppression is doing its job. My plan is the same as yours, stay put until the hunger starts creeping back, then reassess.

I stayed at 0.5 for a couple months past when my doc wanted me to move up, mostly because the appetite quiet was still doing its thing and I didn't see a reason to rush it.

Curious what your signal to move up actually looks like. Mine was portion sizes creeping back before the hunger itself did, which surprised me

I stayed at my starting dose way past the four week mark too, mostly because the quiet was still there and I didn't want to fix what wasn't broken. Curious whether your hunger crept back gradually or just all at once.

Curious how long you've been sitting at 0.5. I'm only a couple pounds in myself and still figuring out whether the quiet is real or just a good week.

I stayed put at my current dose for a couple extra weeks too, mostly because I wasn't sure my body had settled yet. The appetite change came on gradually for me rather than all at once, so I wanted to see the full picture before changing anything.

I stayed at 0.5 for about ten weeks because it was still killing my appetite and I didn't see a reason to rush it. Only moved up when the last couple days of each week started feeling like nothing at all.

honestly, how's the food noise holding up late in the week for you? That was what eventually pushed me along, not the calendar.
