Tirz Maintenance Protocol?

[XYaliX]

Hey Y'all, just wanted to get some insight on maintenance on Tirz after reaching goal weight. Ive seen different things being said and done, so I wanted to ask if anyone knows "Proper Protocol"? Ive seen peoples reducing their dose and injecting 1x a week. Ive seen others go up a dose and inject every 2 weeks. I've seen people stay on their dose and inject every 2 weeks. So I just wanted to get insight on what's worked for you or what you've done, and so forth! Also I know not everything is a 1 size fits all as what may work for 1 person may not work for another!

Thanks

There are different approaches from what I’ve seen. I, personally, never titrated above 5.0 mg throughout my Tirz journey. I have been on maintenance since June ‘24. I maintain with 5.0 mg once per week. I have found that my body found a balancing point on its own upon reaching goal weight. I do have to force myself to eat more and to take in sufficient calories. At times…when I’m not being diligent…I will lose some weight without even noticing until I weigh myself. There are also times when the Tirzepatide symptoms all kick in with an intensity similar to the beginning months. I just go for the ride. I would suggest you try dosing down and spreading out your shots to 10 days. Look for when your food noise returns. Reverse course in small increments when the food noise returns in earnest. You’ll find your sweet spot…it takes some trial and error, patience and a willingness to shift approach as needed.

Yeah I’ve seen many approaches as well, I’m not at maintenance yet but just wanted to get some more info! There’s so many different ways but I guess it’s down to what works best for me and it’s not a 1 size fits all! I appreciate your take!

I’m in maintenance and joined a big maintenance group on Reddit (the Mounjaro one). It really is just what works for you. I started gaining when I lowered my dose from 15 to 10. Right now 12.5 is working for me every 7 days because I am so hungry on the 6th and 7th day I don’t lose weight but I’m not gaining either. When losing I took every 5 days. After a couple months I plan on adding another day between shots and hopefully slowly spacing them out more. It’s what is working for me now.

I started at 164 and now weigh 118. My husband watches me like a hawk because he does not want me losing more weight. He’s tried to only give me 10 (he reconstitutes for us) and that can be frustrating. I would be upset if I was at the mercy of a doctor deciding for me how to maintain. I’m grateful for tirz and these groups.
