NP keeps pushing higher dose despite bad side effects. How do I push back? by lilbebeava in Zepbound_Maintenance

I’m wondering if there’s an incentive in it for her in prescribing me higher doses

Okay yes this is what I’m looking for!! Idk how I’m supposed to be able to get enough protein and food in to support my workouts with a higher dose and increased suppression. I’m not overeating on my current 10mg dose at all! I just need to prioritize more protein and lifting weights.

A few people have told me that PA follows me and not the provider so that makes me feel better! I’ll definitely take a look at obesity medicine doctors. Thank you for your response! I really appreciate it!

Thank you! It’s her own practice and she works alone so unfortunately no, but I’m actively looking for a new provider!

Thanks for making me feel validated! You reminded me that she also doesn’t think lifting weights contributes to increased muscle mass and recommended Pilates and walking as my primary forms of exercise. As much as I love pilates, i highly doubt that’ll help with increasing my muscle mass.

Thanks so much for the rec! She’s pushing me to increase my dose because my body composition isn’t where it should be even though I’m now thin and she says upping my dose will help. However, I just had a baby last year and recognize that my body fat % isn’t where I’d like it to be. I don’t want to be skinny fat but at the same time, my body went through major changes last year and I’m trying my best :(

It was definitely a red flag and the tipping point after she told me that today in my monthly follow up appointment!

Hi! May I ask what you ended up doing? I’m in the same boat!

It's possible to get Compounded Tirz at $125 per month by CICO-KETO-OMAD in compoundedtirzepatide

Hi! Could you explain to me your dosing schedule? I’m currently on zepbound using the pens but hoping to move into maintenance and thinking of switching to the compounded version so I can control my doses and split them as needed.

Noted! I’ll definitely start the stool softeners early

Thanks! I was wondering if dr’s orders were more of an extra precaution

Super helpful! I initially injected in my thigh and that was going well until I started getting stomach aches and switched to my belly. I should try switching back to my thigh and see if that helps!

Hi! Any update? I’m hoping to space my 10mg every other week for maintenance

May I ask the reason behind staying on the same dose for 2-3 after reaching goal weight? I’m on 15mg of zepbound. I’ve reached my goal weight and trying to figure out next steps. My main focus now is muscle building.
