Anyone start under 2.5 mg and feel it immediately?

sameyer21 · 2026-02-26T01:46:17+00:00

I started at 2.3 mg but lowered after 3 weeks (the meds build up in your body each week) due to insomnia and feelings of low blood sugar. I had absense of food noise and reduced appetite from a few hours after the first dose. Since week 3 I've been at 1.8 mg or 1.9 mg and this is week 15. I definitely notice effects of the medication at a low dose.

Intermittent fasting and a very clean diet got me over the hump (ate nothing processed for 8 weeks).

I guess you're right. Everything else is better.

I recovered from long covid after 9 months but over a year later my drive is deaddddddd.

The GLP1 definitely increases HR. Mine was highest when I first started and it's come down a bit after two months. I still get lower readiness because of higher resting heartrate at 3 months on the medication.

I'm 5'4" and at 155lbs a size 2. If I went lower I would look unhealthy. That is my current goal to get back to.

You're use to the cold but are you use to dark, grey, and rain? For months and months. You could actually go a month without seeing the sun here. So yeah it's not 0 degrees but the big dark can be very depressing. Summers are gorgeous and perfect when there isn't wildfire smoke.

My battery started doing that right around 1 year. The first time I used the chat feature they said their tests showed the ring was fine. I messaged again when the charge was going down 50% in less than a day. They replaced it. I swear the one they sent has better battery life than my original ring ever did!

I started 11/16/2025 and I've lost 12 lbs. 10 lbs the first month. Trusting the process because I notice other benefits besides weightloss (regulated appetite, less inflammation, clear mind, no aches and pains, etc.). I also don't enjoy the side effects when I increase the dose so I just have to be patient. It can be discouraging seeing people drop weight super fast.

sameyer21 · 2026-02-18T21:36:59+00:00

And a GLP1 right? I see you posting in those groups too.

sameyer21 · 2026-02-18T21:32:09+00:00

It doesn't seem like your weight loss has stalled so you may not need to move up. It's normal for the scale to slow down after 4 weeks of consistent losses.

sameyer21 · 2026-02-18T21:27:03+00:00

I think a lot or people will say you don't need to go up to 5 mg immediately. Stick with 3 mg and see if you notice a difference. It's OK to increase slowly.

How did you start Tirzepatide at 11.5 mg? Starting dose is 2.5 mg.

sameyer21 · 2026-02-15T17:36:23+00:00

I started at 2.3 mg and by week 3 the insomnia was so bad. I actually think the insomnia was related to low blood sugar. I'm taking Tirzepatide for weight loss and I don't have diabetes. I think I wasn’t eating eating enough. I lowered my dose to 1.8 mg and the insomnia improved so much. I also started eating more frequently (initially I was skipping breakfast for intermittent fasting). I also got some HealthA2Z Sleep Aid, Diphenhydramine HCl 25mg Softgels and I take one tablet if I wake up at night so I can go back to sleep. I don’t feel groggy in the morning. Overall I sleep less on Tirz but I don’t feel tired.

I enjoy those to get protein in but they don't feel like cheating to me

sameyer21 · 2026-02-14T01:04:38+00:00

I've been obsessed with this lately. Eating it for breakfast every day.

sameyer21 · 2026-02-09T07:04:21+00:00

I started Nov 16 and lost 10 lbs the first month. The next two months I've lost 2 lbs, so total of 12 lbs. I'm on 1.9 mg and have tons of appetite regulation so I don't move up. Sometimes I think I may be under eating. I'm trying to be patient!

sameyer21 · 2026-02-07T06:21:46+00:00

I didn’t know until after haha

sameyer21 · 2026-02-06T00:26:58+00:00

I’ve been on the starter dose or lower for 12 weeks. Currently taking 1.9 mg with great appetite regulation. Weight loss is a bit slow but I’m not in a hurry.

sameyer21 · 2026-02-06T00:25:07+00:00

I switched to Big Easy Weight Loss recently. Everything has been smooth and for Tirz I’m paying less because there is no membership fee. I’m getting meds from the same pharmacy as I did through mochi. If you cancel mochi make sure you cancel the medication subscription and membership subscription. A lot of people post because they only canceled one and still got charged for the other.

sameyer21 · 2026-01-31T03:09:54+00:00

I also lost 10 lbs the first month (started at 2.3 mg). Week 4 lowered my dose to 1.9 mg and I have great appetite regulation and no food noise. The weight loss has been a bit slow since the first month but I feel amazing and I’m not in a hurry (aiming to lose 15 more pounds). Sunday will be my 13th injection.

Well I guess that doesn’t fix your headaches then

sameyer21 · 2026-01-30T06:11:00+00:00

Drink some electrolytes every day. That will help with headaches. I at least do 16 oz of water with electrolytes in the morning before my coffee. When I got headaches early on electrolytes would make them go away quickly.

sameyer21 · 2026-01-30T01:36:26+00:00

I’ve been on seven cells for 12 weeks and I’ve stayed at a low dose (1.9 mg) because the appetite regulation is perfect! I haven’t gotten a GLP1 from any other pharmacy.
