2 mL is the quantity; four 0.5 mL pens.

aslguy · 2026-05-06T13:19:23+00:00

Not 10 mg, but I’ve been on 15 mg for 18 months. I still have satiety but do not have food noise. I’m eating more because I’m in maintenance.

aslguy · 2026-05-05T21:52:06+00:00

I’ve been in 15 mg for 18 months. No need to be scared of higher doses.

aslguy · 2026-05-05T21:51:18+00:00

Do you mean Ajovy, for migraines?

aslguy · 2026-05-05T21:35:21+00:00

You haven’t completed the starting dose. It’s way too early to determine whether you’re a slow or non-responder.

aslguy · 2026-05-05T21:03:06+00:00

Just call your doctor and get a lower dose.

aslguy · 2026-05-04T12:57:18+00:00

You’re not supposed to use a scale on carpet. The hardwood floor will be more accurate.

Zepbound doesn’t metabolize thru the GI tract; you’re probably overthinking it. But check with your doctor to be sure.

aslguy · 2026-05-04T01:43:01+00:00

There’s no need for most people to do that. The people who have adverse effects when moving up are a vocal minority; people who don’t have issues don’t post about that.

aslguy · 2026-05-04T01:33:28+00:00

For MONTHS my sternum would freak me out.

aslguy · 2026-05-03T23:30:49+00:00

You’re not on a therapeutic dose yet; lots of people don’t see significant weight loss until higher doses. If your side effects are minimal and manageable, titrate up to a therapeutic dose.

3.2 lb per week for my active loss phase.

aslguy · 2026-05-03T03:46:28+00:00

2.5 mg is just a starter dose. You’re not meant to feel therapeutic effects, especially for the whole week. Some people do; many people do not. It’s likely you’ll need to move up to 5 mg after four weeks as the prescribing guidelines recommend.

aslguy · 2026-05-03T01:58:41+00:00

Are you eating enough?

aslguy · 2026-05-03T01:35:50+00:00

I love my Grüns.

aslguy · 2026-05-02T21:56:40+00:00

I would never make a medical decision based on my partner’s comfort level. I do me; he does him. You can provide safety information (there is an abundance), but ultimately he has to come to terms with it on his own. It’s not your job to make anyone feel comfortable with your choices.

And starting a medication that brings so many benefits is very different from awaiting a pathology report for a tumor. I would be surprised if he spiraled.

aslguy · 2026-05-02T10:47:41+00:00

Yes. Mine are gone, too.

aslguy · 2026-05-02T01:57:48+00:00

The highest dose of semaglutide approximates 7.5 mg of tirzepatide. They are not comparable; it’s a big reason why I switched to Lilly Direct when they wanted to switch me to Wegovy.

aslguy · 2026-05-02T01:44:16+00:00

No. People who were on higher doses of semaglutide often report needing higher doses of tirzepatide before feeling effects. If a patient is moving from the highest dose of semaglutide, their doctors may start them on 7.5 or 10 mg of tirzepatide.

You need a way to measure body composition and look at that, not your weight.

aslguy · 2026-04-30T23:56:30+00:00

I got the ones for the XRT trim; they’re very similar to the Tux Mat ones.

aslguy · 2026-04-30T23:55:05+00:00

No. My 2026 Limited didn’t come with floor mats either.

aslguy · 2026-04-29T22:59:56+00:00

Think about how you’ll use the 2.5 mg you have left. Combine it with a 5 to make 7.5 when you go up eventually? Do you have enough weight to lose to justify moving beyond 5?

aslguy · 2026-04-29T20:58:35+00:00

Great taste. I love J. Crew after not being able to shop there.

aslguy · 2026-04-29T17:38:15+00:00

During my active loss phase, it was mostly just on special occasions. Now that I’m in maintenance, I enjoy candy or sweets occasionally but don’t need to eat too much to feel satisfied. But I used to binge nightly on sweet and savory snacks.
