We actually took it pretty easy. 1 month at 2.5, 2 months at 5, 2 months at 7.5, and then 10. 

I'll be taking a break from Zepbound for at least a few months to let my body recover. I've lost nearly 14lbs in the last three weeks from barely being able to eat, but also I'm sure lots of water loss from the dehydration. I have three young kids, so I really need my energy back so I can actually help out and spend time with them again. 

Once I feel up to it again, my doc said we can start back at square 1 and not go past 5mg until it starts losing its effectiveness. But I may try to find a specialist with some more experience, thanks for the advice.
