Microdosing semaglutide — anyone tried splitting doses?

Reached my goal weight yesterday and I'm still processing it. 14 months ago I weighed 298 lbs. Today I weigh 183 lbs. 115 lbs. I don't have the words for what that means to me. I'm going to write a full post soon but for now I just needed to say it somewhere that people would understand.

Following along, Fatigue hit hard on my first dose bump, more protein fixed it.

For what it's worth, My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. What's your current titration schedule looking like.

I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps.

For the nausea: small meals, no greasy food, ginger tea, and Zofran if your doctor will prescribe it. The first 4-6 weeks are the hardest. Everything gets better after that point in almost every case I've seen in this forum.

Reading this and I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. Rooting for you.

Totally agree. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Onward!

Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Bone broth and electrolytes got me through the tough days. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Anyone who says GLP-1 is 'the easy way' has never dealt with week 3 nausea.

Same here, Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. How's your energy been lately. You've got this.

Same here, Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Onward! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

For what it's worth, How are you handling the injection-day fatigue.

Adding my two cents: Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Rooting for you.

I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Reading this today and How are you finding the higher dose so far. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
