Titration schedule question before tonights shot

Going back and forth on whether to drop down a dose today after a hard week. Has anyone actually done that and been glad they did?

I stayed at my dose through a rough stretch last winter and was glad I did, the side effects eased up on their own. Down 30 lbs now and honestly the slower pace hasn't hurt my loss at all.

I sat out a step once after a rough stretch and was glad I did - stayed at that lower dose an extra month and the side effects calmed down while I still kept losing. Now down about 22 lbs and honestly the slower pace cost me nothing. Trusting how the week went sounds like reason enough.

Freezer meals have been a lifesaver on low-energy days. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise.

I stayed at the same dose through a rough week once instead of moving up, and I was glad I did -- the side effects eased off and I still kept losing. No regrets stretching it out an extra couple weeks.

I stayed at my same dose through a rough stretch around the holidays and was glad I did once the side effects settled, since a drop set me back a bit when I tried it early on. Down 23 lbs now and the rough weeks have always passed for me. Might be worth riding it out one more shot and seeing how you feel.

I stayed at my same Trulicity dose through a rough patch rather than dropping down and was glad I didn't shuffle things, the side effects eased on their own by the next week. That said, when I did move from 0.75 up a step it hit harder for a few days, so I get wanting to pause. If you're feeling iffy tonight, some folks here have just delayed a shot by a couple days instead of changing the amount.

I was in the same spot last month after a brutal few days and just held my current dose instead of moving up or down. For me the rough stretch passed within a week or two and I kept losing anyway. Down around 15 lbs now and the pause cost me nothing.

I had a stretch like that a couple months in and just paused where I was rather than moving either direction, and it worked out fine -- the rough days faded and I'm down 26 lbs now. Holding steady seemed to give my body a breather without undoing anything.

Held my dose through a similar rough patch last year and was glad I didn't drop down -- the appetite suppression stayed put and the bad days passed on their own. Down 71 lbs now, so that one pause definitely didn't hurt anything.

When I hit a wall like that on 5mg I stayed put instead of dropping, and the rough week blew over without losing any progress. Down 67 lbs since starting, so staying the course worked out for me.

Are you still logging everything or did you ease off that? How did you know it was time to increase your dose?

I stalled at one point early on when a rough stretch tempted me to back off, but I stayed at the same dose and the side effects settled within days -- down 29 lbs since starting. For me the rough weeks never lasted long enough to justify going backward.

I had a stretch around my 23 lb mark where week four felt rough and I almost dropped, but riding it out at the same dose turned out fine by the next shot. Rough patches always passed faster than I expected them to.
