I wanted to ask if it is recommended if i start with 2-3mg per week, please let me know and sorry if this is a dumb thread, im new to this and want to know as many things as possible.

Start with 1 mg per week and monitor yourself. It works a little differently for everyone. The theory is that you increase the dose every 4 weeks. 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg, 6 mg, 8 mg, 10 mg and 12 mg. But with smaller doses, you can do it every 2 weeks.

Studies were conducted on target doses ranging from 4 to 12 mg. However, above 6 mg, adding 1 mg becomes less and less effective, and the difference between a dose of 8 mg and 12 mg is really small. But that's statistics, and each of us is different. If the dose works, I wouldn't increase it.

Retatrutyd works best for me on days 3 and 4, and on the first day it has almost no effect, which is why I divided the dose and take 2 mg every 4-5 days. Sometimes, when I realise that I haven't eaten enough, I delay the dose so that I can eat more for 1-2 days.

I do strength training every other day and lose about 5 kilograms per month.

Would u recommend taking 2mg every 5days?

2 mg every 4 to 5 days is best for me right now. When it stops working, I will increase the dose.

You, on the other hand, have to see for yourself how you react. Most people respond positively to as little as 1 mg. You will see if it suppresses your appetite, if you lose weight on it, and if you experience nausea, diarrhoea or constipation. Some people experience sulphurous burps, heartburn, skin burning or sleep problems. However, most of these effects are due to increasing the dose too quickly. If you experience such effects, do not increase the dose, just wait until they pass. If you have no side effects and are not losing weight, it is worth increasing the dose.

I am currently taking 3mg a week. No, I would NOT recommend starting at that.
I also take sema on a 3 day offset. (Sunday = sema, Wednesday = reta) Here is what I did to get to this point.

May - 0.25mg Wegovy per week
June - 0.5mg Wegovy per week
July - 0.5mg Sema per week (switched to grey)
August - 1mg Sema per week
Sept. - 1mg Sema, 1mg Reta per week
Oct. - 1.5mg Sema, 2mg Reta per week
Nov. plan - 1.5mg Sema, 3mg Reta per week
(I might up the sema to 2mg, haven't decided just yet)

I have had virtually no side effects throughout the 6 months taking GLP1s. While starting with a higher dose than I took probably wouldn't kill you it could easily give you gastric problems that make you wish for death.

I suggest following the doses and titration of the most recent studies

Titration schedule summary (based on trial protocols)

• Weeks 1-4: start at the low initial dose (e.g., 2 mg for the escalation arms)
• After ~4 weeks: increase dose (e.g., from 2 mg → 4 mg)
• Another ~4-week period: increase again (e.g., 4 mg → 8 mg)
• For the 12 mg arm, further escalation up to 12 mg was done over ~12-weeks.
• After reaching the maintenance dose, participants stayed on it for the remainder of the 48-week treatment period.

Weight loss reported

• 8 mg weekly:
  • ≈ 22% average body-weight reduction at 48 weeks
  • Most participants tolerated the escalation well
  • Side-effect frequency dropped after the early dose-ramp period
• 12 mg weekly:
  • ≈ 24.2% average body-weight reduction at 48 weeks
  • Highest numerical efficacy — nearly surgical-level weight loss
  • Slightly higher dropout and GI side effects (nausea, vomiting, constipation)
  • Participants had not yet plateaued at 48 weeks — weight loss was still ongoing
• 4 mg weekly:
  • ≈ 13% mean reduction at 48 weeks
  • Much better tolerance profile but less dramatic weight loss
• 1 mg weekly:
  • ≈ 8% mean reduction
  • Low side-effects but modest results

So from a bang for you buck perspective that 8mg weekly is a sweet spot if you’re looking for 20%-25% weight loss. Start with 2mg and double every 4 weeks until you get to 8mg.

If you’re doing anything other than following the study protocol, don’t expect the results of the study.
