Tirzepatide stall at 5mg — bump up or ride it out?

Same here, Sending good vibes your way. Going slow on titration made all the difference for side effects. This community is the best.

I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up.

Late to this but You should be really proud. Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Keep us posted!

Totally agree. Cutting fatty meals the day of my shot helped the nausea. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Has your sleep changed at all since starting.

Reading this today and This made my day to read. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Hang in there.

Just wanted to say, Did you split your dose or take it all at once. Cheering you on from here. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Just wanted to say, Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. Smaller portions on shot day kept the GI stuff manageable.

Coming back to this thread, Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Don't give up, it's worth it.
