Does anyone else stay at 0.5mg longer than the standard schedule?

My doc kept me at 0.5mg for almost 3 months because I was losing well and tolerating it fine. I pushed back a bit because I'd read about faster titration schedules, but looking back I'm glad she slowed it down. Zero serious side effects the whole time. Anyone else had a similar experience with a conservative titration?

Coming back to this thread — Rooting for you. My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.

This past year has been the biggest change of my life. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. A1C came back normal at my last check-up. So glad I'm not alone in this.

You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Onward! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

The mental side is harder than people admit. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Honestly, Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Rooting for you.

The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Following along — Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

You're doing amazing. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Did you split your dose or take it all at once.

Honestly, Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Six months in and the scale keeps moving the right way. You've got this. Keep us posted! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Following along — Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Rooting for you.

Just wanted to say, I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. What helped you push through the plateau. So glad I'm not alone in this.

For what it's worth, Been there, it does get easier I promise.

Adding my two cents: How are you finding the higher dose so far. Onward!

Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. You should be really proud. Thanks for sharing this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but Don't give up, it's worth it. Hang in there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
