Is titrating up too fast unsafe?

Some just know everything.

Well deserved. I went on the standard quick Zepbound titrate and that was rough once I got to 7.5. OP is doing much faster with a bigger hammer. Of course there is weight loss, but how do we know the loss wouldn’t be the same at lower doses? I guess with no sides it’s no big deal, but why run out of runway so quickly?

In general what you are saying is not consistent with the research or how reta works.

Okay, let's talk about the numbers:



I think this is the chart everyone knows. Let's start from the beginning, at weeks 4 and 8. Why did participants on a higher dose show greater weight loss even at week 4? I'm not buying that it was solely due to stronger appetite suppression. Or look at the 6-month mark / week 24, where the higher doses outperform the 1 mg dose, which plateaued at nearly 8.7% between 6 and 12 Month.

That's why I want to get as soon as possible to the 4mg / week. Pinning 2x a week 2mg. And the plan was to start today with 2mg. But I just increased the dose from 1.5mg to 1.75mg. To see, if everything is fine. And next time I will go up again 0.25mg.

What is it, and where do you get it?

Its a vitamin. You can get anywhere. If you don't feel like going anywhere you can always order from Amazon too 🙂

What are the risks of titrating up too fast on reta? I’m a big guy with super severe craving. My first week I pinned 1mg. Second week I did 2mg. Aside from one day feeling more full than normal, I have not had any real effects - good or bad.

What risks am I running if I were too inject 3mg for my third shot? Am I being too impatient and just need to give the drug time to work?

appetite suppression didn’t happen for me until I got to 6, so I added a little tirz mid week
