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?

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.
