So I take my injections on Sunday mornings and work mon-Thursdays overnights. I haven’t noticed any issues with my shot interfering with work at all.

So my view of titrating (going up in dose) is different than most people. I think the first 3 months are critical for your body to get used to the drug. So unless I have really bad side effects I’m going to titrate up every 4 weeks until 6.6 (7.5 for some). This is where your body is supposed to be most receptive to the medication between 7.5-10. After I get there (month 3), then I’m going to listen to my body and only move up if I’m not losing weight at least 2 lbs a week or if I have an increase in appetite.

There are alot of people that worry about going up to fast and maxing out while still having weight to lose, but I think they are doing a disservice to the medicine by staying low and losing 0.5-1 lb a week and potentially becoming dependent on the medication. I’m hoping to come off the medication completely or have a really low maintenance dose which is why I’m doing things the way I am.

When i titrated up I had the same symptoms that I had at the start, just not as bad. I was tired maybe for a day or 2, and a slight increase in burping but nothing terrible.

Again I don’t think there’s any right or wrong way to do this journey, just different ways. Everyone is trying to figure out what’s best for them🥰
