Just started Zepbound 2.5mg — first week impressions

My doc kept me at 0.5mg for almost 3 months because I was losing well and tolerating it fine. I pushed back a bit because I'd read about faster titration schedules, but looking back I'm glad she slowed it down. Zero serious side effects the whole time. Anyone else had a similar experience with a conservative titration?

Just wanted to say, Don't give up, it's worth it. What's your current titration schedule looking like. Rooting for you. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Just wanted to say, Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. The mental side is harder than people admit. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Onward!

Just wanted to say, Such an inspiration honestly. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there.

Same here — Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. You're doing amazing.

Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but Incredible progress. Hang in there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Coming back to this thread — I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Thanks for sharing this.

Just wanted to say, How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Keep us posted!

Just wanted to say, The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there.

Don't give up, it's worth it. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Don't give up, it's worth it. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Just wanted to say, How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Hang in there.

Late to this but Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Coming back to this thread, Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. This community is the best.

How's your energy been lately. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. You've got this.

That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Rooting for you.
