Titration just means stepping the dose up slowly over weeks instead of jumping straight to the full amount. On saxenda i did the same ramp, 0.6 then up from there, and the slow start was the whole point of it.

So titration is basically the ramp up schedule, not a math thing. The jump from.25 to.5 was the only one that gave me any real queasiness, and it passed in a few days

So titration just means stepping the dose up gradually instead of jumping straight to a higher one. Curious how long your doctor had you sit at each step before moving up?

titration just means stepping the dose up slowly instead of jumping straight to a higher one. I stayed on each step for weeks before moving up, mostly because my stomach needed the time to settle.

Titration just means stepping the dose up in stages instead of jumping straight to a higher one. My first few weeks at the starting dose were rough on my stomach, so I stayed put there longer than the schedule said.

In glp-1 terms titration just means stepping the dose up in stages instead of jumping straight to a higher one. My own doctor started me low and we nudged it up slowly, which gave my body time to adjust.

Titration just means stepping the dose up in stages rather than jumping straight to a higher one. I dragged out each step on my own schedule, mostly because the jump to 7.5 hit me harder than the earlier ones

#16

I only got what titration meant once my prescriber walked me through the step-up schedule at my first check-in, since the math definitions online were useless to me too.

#18

Titration in this context just means stepping the dose up in stages rather than starting high. I stayed on the starting dose for weeks before moving up, mostly because the side effects were still settling.
