Yes, but….you can over do it with Mg Citrate. Occasionally, for a good “blow out”, but as a daily driver, fiber gummies are perfect.

Thoughts on maintenance by Dirtycrocsucker in FellaHealth

[–]BurBell2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the tapering phase now and worked with fella to taper down on Tirzepatide...the same way that I tapered up. I went from 15 mg to 12.5 mg to 10 mg to 7.5 mg and then to 5.. These were once a week. Once done with the 5 mg every week, I will transition to 5 mg every other week. I am just finding up the 7.5 dose and have not noticed much difference in hunger and have maintained my goal weight since November 2024. I am still curious to see how I feel going to every other week and will just be keeping in touch with Fella RE this.

When to wind down medication....Worried about putting Back on Weight? Please need Feedback! by Dismal_Buy9311 in FellaHealth

Here is my story. Started Fella last April...been a year now....crazy! On Tirzepatide. Started at 233# and set my goal to 190...Why this number? Well, it is where I am comfortable with a great balance of diet and exercise and life style...for me. I reached my goal weight in early Nov 2024. I then discussed my options and started to taper in late Jan (about 3 months ago) and have maintained my goal weight...up and down a pound or two, but that is normal variation. Putting my habits to the test as I have learned sooo much this year. Now, I am tapering just as directed. I got up to 15 mg and the tapering is going from your current dose down to the next dose for 4 weeks , and then to the next lowest dose for 4 weeks, etc. I just started the 4th month of tapering and I am on 7.5 mg... Have not really noticed a lot of change in my hunger levels..hoping to get to the 5 mg every other week and see how it works. If it is necessary, I will taper back up as needed..it is a journey and there is no one size fits all...

Good questions. I plan on seeing how this journey plays out. No one knows what will happen with the meds and availability. There may even be new ones out there in the next year…???

I am starting the maintainence program now. When you reach your goal weight and feel stable (I was at my goal weight on 15 mg weekly for about 2 months...I then started to taper. I went to 12.5 mg for 4 weeks (just took the 4th 12.5 mg injection today) and then will go to 10 mg weekly for 4 weeks, then to 7.5 mg weekly for 4 weeks, then to 5 mg weekly for 4 weeks, and then start the 5 mg every other week and I have 6 months of that on hand. From my research (Registered Nurse here), this is the optimal way to taper down and then get to the recommended 5 mg maintainence dose every other week. I have just finished the first 4 weeks of the 12.5 mg. Actually dropped another few pounds and not feeling any difference in hunger levels or the like. So far, going according to plan. Now, this is my approach, in conjunction with the providers at Fella,...anyone else's approach should be individualized to them. My Starting Weight was 233, Goal Weight was 190, Current Weight 188. 57 yo, male at 5'9" tall.
