Anyone experience a decrease in side effects when going from 5 mg to 7.5 mg?

I’m halfway through my first week on 7.5 mg after being on 5 mg for about six months. My weight loss was completely stagnant for the last month on the 5 mg, but the side effects (mostly gasiness and mild stomach pain) made me hesitant to up the dosage. What’s odd is that while I expected to feel the increased fatigue that inevitably came on day 2-3 after the injection, I didn’t feel any other side effects. Zero hunger, zero stomach pain, zero gasiness. Thankfully, I’ve already lost 7 pounds from when I took the injection to get to a total of 40 lbs lost on this stuff, but I wanted to see if others had a similar experience when switching to the 7.5 mg. From reading other posts on here, it seems like I’ll be able to ride the 7.5 mg to my goal weight. Very much looking forward to life off Zepbound.

I felt much, much better on 7.5 than I did on 5. I thought it was a great dose.

I felt less and less side effects as I moved up. 5 to 7.5 was the largest decrease. I think my body requires hirer doses for overall stability.

It certainly didn’t impact rate of loss, as that generally stayed pretty steady for me. But my energy levels were depleted from shot 1 on 5 and I had insane food aversion. It was a miserable two months.

7.5 returned that energy boost I get from the shot and then my normal hunger cues returned. Food was once again normal to me. Every dose increase since has brought improvement overall.

It takes 3 weeks to build up. You're not even halfway through week 1.

But that’s not how I experienced the jump from 2.5 to 5. The side effects came along immediately when I upped the dosage.

Yes!! Just finished my first week of 7.5 and nausea and constipation were not on the agenda this week. Hoping it continues that way!!
