Maintenance dose of tirzepatide - what are you holding at?

Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. You're doing amazing.

Down about 25 lbs myself and hit a multi-week stall around the same point last year. Giving it a few more weeks before touching anything worked for me, and honestly the appetite signals coming back was the thing that finally told me my body wanted more.

Talk it through with your doctor, my plan looked nothing like a friend's. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose.

Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. A slower climb meant fewer rough days for me overall. Thanks for sharing this.

What does your typical shot-day meal look like? How long did it take you to notice the appetite change? Everyone's different of course.

I sat at 12.5 for about three months before deciding the plateau was worth addressing, and going up was the right call for me since the hunger creep was unmistakable. If your appetite is still quiet and you're just stalled, I'd probably ride it out a bit longer first.

What time of day do you usually take your shot? What's your current titration schedule looking like?

I'm on the liraglutide side of things so can't speak to tirzepate specifically, but the hunger creep thing from reply 2 matched my experience too -- I stayed put until appetite came back loud, and that's when I knew. If you're still satisfied on smaller portions and just weight-stalled, I'd give it another few weeks before changing anything.

Sending good vibes your way. You've got this. Small steps, big results, love it. Glad you're here.

I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Grateful for this thread.

A slower climb meant fewer rough days for me overall. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. My prescriber recommended holding through the holidays and it was smart. Solidarity from here.

You're proof this works.

Small steps, big results, love it. You've earned a moment to enjoy this.

That's a huge win, enjoy it.
