My doc kept me at 0.5mg for almost 3 months because I was losing well and tolerating it fine. I pushed back a bit because I'd read about faster titration schedules, but looking back I'm glad she slowed it down. Zero serious side effects the whole time. Anyone else had a similar experience with a conservative titration?

For what it's worth, You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Keep us posted!

Coming back to this thread — Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Hang in there. Everyone's different of course.

Reading this and This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Look how far you've come. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Same here, Did you split your dose or take it all at once. Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
