Hey all. I’m 5 doses in, 2-2.5mg. I’ll be following up with my provider this or next week.
I have been getting good weight loss results (4kg) and my general wellbeing and pain / inflammation pain is much lower, my mind feels clearer. All in all this medication feels extremely positive. Disregarding the weight loss, I can’t see wanting to go off it as over all I “feel” better.
However - I’m tending to get headaches and insomnia the 1-2 days after the shot - almost as if the speed of the ramp up is too much too quick or too stimulating for me.
I was a pretty fast responder from dose 1 (mentioned in my previous post 30days ago) - so I dropped from 2.5mg to 2mg to try and “ease” into it so to speak.
But because I’m having positive weight loss at this low dose, and in some ways not super loving the strength of the highest days, wondering if anyone has done eg half dosing twice a week?
I will ask my provider but I thought I’d also hear anecdotal stories.
I would like to stay on this long term, and I kind of think the lowest effective dose for me may be lower than 2/2.5mg - but I don’t want to waste my time and money if dropping lower does not much while still giving side effects, versus maybe dropping lower but pin-ing more frequently would lower the intensity of the ramp ? (Or maybe I’ll just get that unfortunate insomnia and headaches twice a week lol) - love to hear your thoughts
