Thinking about holding at my current dose an extra month to let side effects settle. Did staying put longer work out for you?

Late to this but My doctor had me hold until side effects settled. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Onward!

Following along, Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

How are you finding the higher dose so far. Going slow on titration made all the difference for side effects. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Thanks for sharing this.

Coming back to this thread, Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. So glad I'm not alone in this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Thanks for sharing this.

Honestly, How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Walking most days alongside the meds really compounds. Hang in there. Everyone's different of course.
