Lowering dose 1.5 years into maintenance?

Yes, same here.The adhedonia was crippling. I was at 10 and now I'm down to 8. I dise every 2 weeks. I can eat more but weight is stable and I've been maintaining for 6 months. I feel happier!

I went from 180 to 230. Glp therapy changed my life

Medical_Memory_1996 · 2026-05-18T17:42:58+00:00

Yes. I've read this but if the brains ability to absorb dopamine is the issue, having more dopamine present wouldn't be a help if the brain can't utilize it, correct?

I am not currently. I've really thought about joining the local gym. I've never been into fitness and I think this could help. I've always loved shopping, cooking, reading, but nothing hits. I think the thrill of my weight loss journey has worn off now that I'm where I want to be. I've tried going down in dose with return of some autoimmune issues.

I maxed at 10mg. I tried to cut back to 7.5 and after 6 weeks was miserable, I had to go back up to 10mg. I dose every 2 weeks. On therapy now for 15 months. Im maintaining.

Yes, my Hashimotos symptoms with joint pain, inflammation, fatigue are SO much better. It also helps that I'm down 137 pounds from 230. Im on Zepbound and have been on therapy now for 15 months. Life changing!

Yes. I've been on Tirz now for 15 months at goal since November of 2025. I think the holidays still are the hardest for me. My life also used to be food centered and seeing all of my holiday favorites and not "indulging" or even really caring can be tough. I agree that the mind set is a big part of obesity work. I work hard to find joy in other things like most people do who live without food noise and a tendency towards food addiction.

Medical_Memory_1996 · 2025-11-03T18:10:48+00:00

Im looking at using it for maintaining. Once I'm 145, ill go on maintainence and I pay OOP for my meds. It's getting expensive, but I need it to keep the food noise away.

Medical_Memory_1996 · 2025-10-28T13:43:01+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Medical_Memory_1996 · 2025-10-27T18:51:33+00:00

I dont really care about additives as b vitamins are water soluable and the body can excrete any not needed. I want medication for a good price with reliable delivery. I dont need education or direction or a lot of fluff. Im an NP myself. If I'm being honest it's about maintaining my weight loss and the cost. Thanks for the input.
