7.5mg week and feeling great

Moved up to 7.5 this week and honestly the appetite quieting down has been a game changer for me. I'm about 18 lbs down and clothes that were tight all summer are finally fitting again. Anyone else find this dose to be their sweet spot with minimal side effects?

#2

7.5 was my sweet spot too, the appetite quiet stayed steady for months without much trouble. Curious whether the food noise stayed gone for you past the first couple weeks?

#3

7.5 was where the food noise actually went quiet for me too, not just turned down. Curious whether the quiet holds for you past week two, mine got a little louder again before it settled.

#8

I'm only 2 lbs in so nowhere near a sweet spot yet, but the appetite going quiet is the part I'm most curious about. Did that calm hit you right away at 7.5 or take a few days?

#9

Curious whether the quiet held for you past the first few weeks on 7.5. Mine felt almost too calm at first then evened out into something I could actually plan around

#11

7.5 was where things got boring for me, in a good way. Appetite just sat quiet all week instead of spiking and crashing, and I stopped thinking about food between meals entirely.

#12

Curious how 7.5 compares to where you were before, since I'm on semaglutide and the jump from 1mg to 1.7 hit me harder than any earlier step. The appetite going quiet before the scale budges was my experience too

#15

honestly did you notice the food noise going quiet right away at 7.5 or did it take a couple weeks to settle in? Mine faded slowly, and I am curious if that jump was instant for you

#16

7.5 was where I finally stopped white-knuckling it around the kitchen, and it stayed that way for a good stretch. Curious whether you're planning to sit here a while or keep climbing.

#19

7.5 was where the food noise actually went quiet for me too, and the mild queasiness I had at 5 never showed up again. My loss has been slow and steady so far but the quiet is what I care about most

#20

Did you notice the appetite quieting taper off at all the longer you stayed on it? I'm a few months in at this dose and it still feels steady for me, but I've wondered if that fades.
