Sitting at a plateau on Zepbound after 30 lbs down and trying to decide whether to bump the dose or hold. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose.
Zepbound plateau after 30 lbs - dose bump or wait?
I stalled around the same spot and just rode it out a few extra weeks before the scale moved again. My appetite did creep back some when I eventually went up, but nothing like pre-med levels. If you're still feeling suppressed on your current dose, holding a bit longer worked fine for me.
I stalled around 20 lbs down on 7.5 and just waited it out - about three weeks later the scale started moving again without a bump. If hunger isn't creeping back, my body seemed to just need time to catch up.
I hit a similar stall around 15 lbs down on 5mg and it broke on its own after a few weeks, so I'd give it more time before moving up. When I did eventually go higher, my appetite stayed quiet but the food noise crept back a little. Not a big deal, just something I noticed.
I stalled around the same point and ended up waiting another three weeks before anything changed -- then the scale moved again without a dose change. When I did eventually go up, my appetite suppression did come back stronger, but I also got more food noise some days than others. If your loss has been steady, giving it a bit more time might be worth it first.
Held through a similar stall after losing 25 and it broke on its own in about three weeks, so I'd wait a bit before moving up. Food noise never fully came back for me either way.
My stall at 40 lbs lasted almost a month before the scale moved again, so the wait-it-out approach worked for me. Appetite stayed pretty quiet the whole time too, even now.
I hit a similar stall around 30 lbs and held my dose for another month or so -- the scale started moving again on its own. When I did go up, hunger stayed pretty quiet for me, just a bit more fatigue the first week. If the rest of your side effects are manageable, no shame in either call.
I stalled around the same point on 12.5 and held for a month before moving up, and the hunger did creep back a bit for me on the higher dose but nothing like before. My loss picked back up after a few weeks, so I'd say give the plateau another couple weeks before deciding if you're not miserable.
I held at my dose through a six week stall around 25 lbs down and it broke on its own, so I'd give it a couple more weeks before changing anything. Appetite never really came back for me even after months on the same shot.
Lost 61 lbs so far and my stalls always broke within a few weeks if I just hung in there, no dose change needed. The higher steps brought back a little appetite for me but nothing like pre-med. If you're still losing inches, the scale will catch up eventually.
My stall came earlier, around 12 lbs down, and waiting it out a few weeks was all it took. I'd hold a bit longer before moving up since yours broke on its own for the others here too.
My stalls on Rybelsus broke the same way, sat still for weeks around my 12 lb mark and then the drop came overnight. I held my dose and was glad I did. If your appetite is still quiet and the inches are moving, I'd ride it out a bit longer.
My stalls have always been about patience too - I stayed put through two of them and both broke without a bump. When I did eventually move up, the appetite suppression felt about the same for me. Early on still, so take it for what it's worth.
I stalled for about a month around 38 lbs down and it broke without changing anything, so my money's on waiting if the scale isn't the only thing frozen. Mine ended with a whoosh after weeks of nothing, which seems to be how it goes for a lot of us.
I had a five week stall around 45 lbs down that drove me nuts, then dropped 4 lbs in one week without touching my dose. My hunger did creep back a little at each step up, so that's another reason I'd wait if the scale is your only complaint.
Stalled at a similar point on Victoza around 30 lbs down and it broke on its own after a few weeks, no change needed. Since you're still losing inches maybe, I'd give it another month before touching anything.
Hit a six week wall around 40 lbs myself and riding it out paid off, broke with a 3 lb drop overnight. The increased hunger after each jump was real for me too, so I'd let patience win before moving up. How long has the scale actually been stuck?
My stall came around 25 lbs down and lasted almost a month before whooshing 3 lbs in a few days, no dose change. Appetite definitely ticked up for me at the higher dose, so if the scale is the only gripe I'd sit tight a bit longer.
Mine broke the same way, a few weeks of nothing then 4 lbs gone in two days while staying put on my dose. Hunger did creep back when I moved up, so I'd give it another couple weeks if the inches are still shifting.
