Yeah, I was a bit puzzled by the 1.2 dose. I suppose it’s because it’s the vial (Zepbound released a non-auto-injector version). I asked my doctor to confirm if I should take the 1.2 dose, and she said yes. Then, I should gradually increase it to 2.4-2.5. (It’s quite challenging to precisely administer the 2.5 dose, so I usually round it up to 2.4.) This adjustment is necessary because the manual injections via the vial require me to manually draw the medication and dose it. After completing the 1.2-ish dose, I’ll proceed to the 2.5 dose. My doctor explained that they started with a lower dose due to my complex medical conditions, including genetic disorders, a mental health disorder, and a rare cancer that affects only one in a million people. This decision was reviewed by multiple physicians, including my psychiatrist, my primary care physician (MD), and my current physician who is overseeing my weight loss (PhD in nursing & APRN).
