Is titrating up too fast unsafe?

[dolph]

This is EXACTLY the compulsive behavior I want to change by taking Tirz. Soooo you're gonna stop overeating by overmedicating? You'll find that the efficacy drops sooner than the lbs and then I guess you'll just add more meds and be the guy in here saying I take max dose of Reta and Tirz together and now I also take these 6 other peps too. Why man? WHY???? Slow and steady will work to get it off just like it did to put the lbs on. Doesn't sound right to say I'm gonna increase until I'm sick and that will tell me when to stop. Bad plan that will yield bad results.

One new guy to another...RESTRAIN YOURSELF! I just took shot 6 Wednesday of Tirz. I'm at .50 and I've lost 26lbs in the past 5wks by changing the way I think and what I put in my mouth. I haven't even started working out yet. I'm a big guy too. Started at 386lbs and I'm now 360lbs and I'm 55yrs old and 6'2". My habits have changed and my mentality has too. That is the true accomplishment. Binge pinning is likely just as bad as binge eating. Change your thinking and you will safely go through this process and never go back to the old ways of viewing food and thinking more is better with everything.

All future dosages will be side effect dependent.
So far, zero. I'll change course if need be.

RS has lost over 100lbs in the past with Keto, intermittent fasting, sometimes week long fasting and OMAD and kept it off for about 5 years.

This may seem compulsive to you but this is methodical in my eyes.

That’s not how this works

Reality is going to hit you like a train unless you're like 600lbs.

I don't think it necessarily will. My personal experience (6'5 male, ~330lbs starting weight) on this titration schedule:

Week 1: 1mg
Week 2: 2mg
Week 3: 4mg
Week 4: 6mg

I continued on 6mg for months on end, somewhat recently climbed up to 7.5mg weekly simply because I bought 30mg vials and 30/4=7.5.

The only side effects I've had were very slight constipation for about two weeks, nothing even close to dubious horror stories on Reddit, as well as a noticeable skin sensitivity in the upper arms that disappeared after about a month. Again, nothing catastrophic, but most importantly nothing worth reporting on Reddit and enjoying stranger sympathy either.

Gahdamn. And this was your first time taking a GLP med?

Here I am at 4.66mg/wk in month 3 and having to bring the dose down after 6 weeks on.

The medicine has to build. You should stay at 2mg for 30 days. This is not cocaine.

"This is not cocaine"
This sent me into hysterics - and then I realized how boring I've become.
