how did the conversation actually start though, did you bring up the pace or did they? Mine came from my prescriber laying out a plan and me just nodding along at the time.
Dosing
Todays dose decision, talked myself in circles
Curious whether you're going by food noise or by side effects? Mine was mostly about how rough the day after felt, so my prescriber kept me put longer than the calendar said.
honestly what made you start second-guessing the pace? Mine was mostly reading other people's timelines online and deciding I was behind.
honestly how slow are we talking? Mine stayed at the starting dose for a couple months because the side effects were rough, and my prescriber was fine with that.
Mine moved up in small steps and only after a couple weeks at each level felt settled, so slow was the plan from the start. My prescriber set the pace and I just reported back honestly between visits.
Curious whether you brought your own idea of a pace to that conversation or just let them set it. I showed up with a timeline in my head and my prescriber mostly wanted to know how the side effects were sitting first
How did the conversation with your prescriber actually go, did they push for faster or were they fine staying put?
Mine started with a conversation about side effects rather than a calendar, and my prescriber was more interested in how the first few weeks actually felt than in hitting a set date. Two lbs in is still early enough that slow seems reasonable to me.
What did your prescriber actually say when you asked? Mine was fine with me holding a dose longer, but I only knew that because I brought it up directly instead of guessing.
Mine stayed put for a few extra weeks because the appetite quiet was still holding. My prescriber cared way more about how I felt between visits than about what week number I was on.
