Holding my dose again this week, good call?

I held at 3mg for almost two months on Trulicity and the appetite stayed quiet the whole stretch, so sitting tight never cost me anything. My last jump hit me the same way yours did.

I stayed at the same dose for an extra month and appetite stayed quiet the whole time. Curious whether you noticed the side effects easing off as you held it.

Staying put when your appetite is already quiet sounds like the right read to me. My prescriber had me hold a few extra weeks at one point and I never felt like it set me back.

How long do you usually sit at a dose before the whisper turns into a nudge? I'm only a few lbs in and still figuring out what my own signal even feels like.

#28

Staying put when appetite is already quiet sounds smart to me. I jumped my dose on schedule once and spent three days regretting it, so now I wait until the food noise actually comes back before moving up.

#29

I stayed at the same step for an extra few weeks after a rough bump and the appetite control never faded on me. The calendar pressure is real though, so I get why holding feels like a gamble.

How long do you usually wait before deciding a whisper has turned into a scream? I've been parked at the same step for a few weeks now and honestly the appetite is still quiet, so I keep pushing the decision off

Doing the same thing this cycle, last time I rushed a bump the side effects ate up two weeks I could've spent losing, so sitting put until appetite actually comes back has worked better for me at every stage. Trusting the whisper instead of waiting for the scream has saved me more than once.

tbh staying put when the appetite is already quiet seems smarter than pushing a bump just because the calendar says so. I lost a couple weeks to a rough increase once and it made me way more cautious about timing.
