I know everyone experiences different things with these shots, but just wanted to see if anyone else had this particular experience.

I started compounded semaglutide in January, 0.25, then 0.50 in February. The nurse (I get from my PCPs office) suggested I try tirzepatide for better results. I had lost about a pound a week on the semi but wanted more (I know, I know). I did, and went to 7.5mg tirzepatide. It knocked my appetitite out completely and I wasn't eating at all, so she took my remaining 2 syryinges and divided them into three, giving me 5.0 for three weeks. Well those five weeks on tirz were a BUST. I had very little appetite, but pretty much lost nothing. Three weeks ago I went back to semaglutide at 1.0 and...I'm hungry again. Not overly famished of course, but I'm definitely eating a bit more/craving a little more. But, I've lost 2-3 pounds in those three weeks. I'm just wondering why my appetite might return at a higher dose when in January and February at .25 and .50 it was extrememly low.

I'm planning to titrate up to 1.7 for my next round and hope it curbs my appetite a bit more. I will say, being back on the semi and seeing losses has motivated me to start working out, a habit I've neglected for years. And years. And years!!
