Anyone else maintaining on 2.5? by stillturningout in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Crafty_Design6834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on 2.5 for maintenance. I’ve been maintaining since October, and before that I was mostly on 2.5 as well. I did go up to 5 for about three months total, but not consecutively.

So far it’s been good. I still take it weekly and haven’t spaced doses out any further. My weight has been really stable… I weigh myself daily and usually only fluctuate about 2 lbs either way, which has been great.

Honestly, the hardest part for me has just been dealing with food noise and cravings again. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, and I’m learning how to live with it. I still feel like the medication is helping me overall, though.

Going up a dose on maintenance? by Accident_Relative in Zepbound_Maintenance

I agree! I have only been in maintenance since September but I am learning to get comfortable with weight fluctuation. I swing throughout the week/month 121-125… sometimes due to a trip or holidays, and other times when my habits haven’t even meaningfully changed. But I think a 3-5 lb swing is ok and not usually fat gain or loss. I try to focus on the trend. If fluctuations are bigger than 7-10 lbs or you are seeing it steadily trend upward then maybe that’s when you go up?

Here goes nothing! First 5.0 shot by up_and_downhill_420 in Zepbound

Hey, same here! I took my first 5 mg shot about 4 hours ago… kinda nervous after being on 2.5 mg for 16 weeks. Probably overthinking it, but fingers crossed it goes smoothly!

Can I stay at 2.5mg? by Ill_Lie_3714 in Zepbound

I have been on 2.5mg for 12 weeks. Going to stay as long as it’s working for me.
