Nervous to start microdose tirzepatide (1.25 mg) — anyone else start this way?
I’m 28, 5’0 and around 128 pounds. I recently got approved for microdose tirzepatide at 1.25 mg and I’m honestly really nervous about starting.
I eat pretty healthy most of the time, but I definitely struggle with nervous/stress eating and overwhelm eating. I also live with family and the food environment at home isn’t always the healthiest, so I end up eating what’s around me sometimes even when I don’t want to.
I’m not trying to become super skinny or stop eating. I mainly want less food noise, less emotional eating, and to feel more in control around food. My plan is only to use it short term (around 3 months) while building healthier habits.
For anyone who started at a very low dose:
- What did your first week realistically feel like?
- Did it help with emotional eating/anxiety eating?
- Any advice for someone nervous to start?
Would appreciate kind and honest feedback because this feels like a big step for me.
