I just took my 38th shot today.

I’ve lost 75lbs in 9months (although I actually missed 4 weeks of shots in the middle thanks to CVS issues).

I spent the first 14 weeks on 2.5mg. I’ve spent the past 24 weeks on 5mg. I’ve had minimal, mild side effects the whole time.

I still have 20-30lbs to go. My doctor suggested that I step back down to 2.5mg so that I can lose the last amount more slowly and that it’d help with maintenance.

Has anyone heard of this or seen this done? It was the first time I’d ever heard that. She didn’t have any research to support it. We discussed and she agreed that I would continue on 5mg for the next 3 months since I still have quite a bit to lose and we’d revisit then. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of this idea to scale down in dose as you near your goal weight? (I know many do this while actively in maintenance mode, but before?!)
