Microdosing semaglutide — anyone tried splitting doses?

I've been doing a weekly log in this thread and several people have asked me to keep going so here's month 3 update: down 31 lbs from 278 to 247. Lost about 3-4 lbs per month after the fast initial drop. Stalled for 2 weeks at month 2.5 and it broke on its own. Energy is better. Sleep is better. Still on 0.5mg and my doctor wants to see me stay here another month.

Totally agree. Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively.

Late to this but I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Keep us posted!

Following along, I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

Just wanted to say, Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Keep us posted!

For what it's worth, How's your energy been lately. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Reading this and Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. This community is the best.

My titration schedule ended up being much slower than the official guide. 0.25mg for 8 weeks, then 0.5mg for 8 more weeks. My doctor is conservative but the results have been steady and the side effects manageable. There's no prize for going faster.

How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Honestly, Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Just wanted to say, My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Keep us posted!

Adding my two cents: I keep a food + weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Smaller portions on shot day kept the GI stuff manageable. Rooting for you. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

What helped you push through the plateau. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Onward!

For what it's worth, The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared.

Just wanted to say, The sulfur burps almost made me quit, slowing down eating helped. I learned not to lie down right after eating. Rooting for you.

Totally agree. My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me.
