I wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences! I started on compounded tirzepatide 7 weeks ago so I could start on half the loading dose and work my way up. I've stayed at the loading dose and plan to continue there as long as I can. I am losing 1.5 to 2 lbs a week, and my side effects are there, but mild. I've lost 15lbs so far, and my blood sugar and liver numbers are already better.❤
I just took my 7th injection this week, I'm down over 11 lbs and over 23 inches all over and I've been microdosing the WHOLE time. I'm at .83mg (5 units) right now and it's been incredible. I went up to 6 units last week and had more side effects so I dropped back down to 5 this week. I love that we have that flexibility with the compounds! I'm also doing low carb and 14/10 fasting and I added in Adipromin to help too. I was already doing so many things right before I got on Tirzepatide but now I feel like my body is working with me and not against me. :)
@@shaakiracassim5144 I think it's worth trying! Even if you have to titrate higher, the studies show incredible benefits of GLP-1 meds. Ask your MD if it's right for you though, they know your health history.
I am going to start bringing myself down. Your video was great. I waited 12 days to inject the highest 15. My stomach is a mess Next week I'm going to to 7.5. See how I do and keep going down. Really appreciate all the things you said after a year I do believe I have changed my eating habits -can't wait to see how I do
I had a month at 2.5 then went to 5mg. The side effects have been less tolerable and I didn’t necessarily lose any more weight. I’ve now tried splitting it into 2 x 2.5mg doses a week and contemplating cutting those in half. I definitely get the results from the change to my hunger hormones etc vs the slowdown of my stomach. I love that I get such strong signals to stop eating when I’ve had enough, I haven’t had that for many years
Yesssssss. I love my microdosing experience!! Started doing that AFTER titrating up beyond the highest dose my body was happy with (5mg. Mounjaro). Microdosing provides so much freedom and ease! Just like PORTION SIZE in general, we get overserved here way too often. ;) Micro, micro, microdose for the win! Thank you for the great overview.
@@MadisonLoethen -- like the best/most comfortable/OMG I never thought this would be possible kind of bra. Life-changing... and who'd have known it could be like this!? 😉🤣
Great story. Thanks, really good tips. I am also on it for six months on low dose instead of microdose. Also doing 20 4 intermittend fasting and strength training. Lost 25 kg.
I started at 1.3 and I’m about to inject my 3rd dose of 1.5. Seeing so many benefits. Only needed to lose 15-20 lbs but I’ve already lost 9 in 3 weeks. I also walk 15k steps a day and lift at least 3 days a week. I couldn’t get the scale to budge prior to this due to hormones also.
@@iluhyuhswag well I watched a lot of videos on microdosing so I knew I was going to start lower than 2.5 but when I picked up the 20mg vial that NP recommended starting at 1.3 on his sheet. So I started there and had good results so didn’t want to make a big jump. So now I’ve been on 1.5 for my last 3 shots and still feeling good with appetite suppression.
@@iluhyuhswag sorry just saw.. my NP told me to start at 1.3 and move up to 2.5 but I just moved up to 1.5 and continued having results so I just took my 6th dose of 1.5 and still having appetite suppression and losing. My mom has about 60 lbs to lose and she’s doing the same thing.
@@tylerarellano7334 thank you so much! i started last week at 1.25 and i’m so glad i did bc the side effects were surprising. but not too bad. i’m increasing to 1.5 this week because my appetite suppression went away after about 2 days.
I'm counting calories (so I don't go too high or low) and microdosing at 1.25 and that little bit has enabled me to stay on track. I still have a good appetite but I don't binge. At some point it may not be enough and I'll go to 2.5. I wish more people would approach it this way. They could avoid or reduce a lot of the side effects.
I just finished my 5th week on the loading dose 2.5 and loosing a steady 1-2 lbs a week,down 10lbs now. I only have 5 more to go to be at my target weight . I had a terrible sweet tooth and was a all day coffee drinker . Strangely now, if I eat anything sweet I almost get nauseous and I only drink 1-2 cups a coffee now
Great job! 👏 thank you for the info. I will take your advice and microdose. My first week was horrible, but lost 10 lbs. Will start week 2 tomorrow. I just want to lose 30-40 lbs total and well on my way. But will def microdose in the tail end. I’m also changing my lifestyle!!!❤
I have been in 2.5 since June and I have only lost 4 pounds, I don’t have any effects, I eat regularly good and clean food, work out 4 times resistance training and 1 cardio day. I notice my body composition has changed and I have more muscle. I just would like to see more weight loss but, I’m not overweight but have fat in the middle and i might go to the next dose, I’m a little afraid because I have no side effects right now. Love your videos
I just started and did a dumb thing! I read it wrong and took 25 units instead of 12.5. I didn’t feel great for a few days but no real issues. Not sure if it is because I don’t eat many carbs I am more meat based. I lift heavy weights 4-5x a week and walk 4-5 x a week. I am on it because nothing has worked for me to get rid of my belly and my bp meds. If you drink electrolytes and plenty of water plus lots more protein- you have a great chance of being ok- and your exercise. All my best! Hoping it works out for you.
Retatritude will blow these away, micro dosing is the way to go. They are pushing the doses way too high. Use the least dose that is effective. This tri agonist will make these other GLP 1’s obsolete. One thing we do in the bodybuilding which may/may not be healthy is trial these things to maximize body composition. It will also help with fatty liver. Congrats on your results
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I’m so happy for you! I just started my first 1.5 mg dose of compounded tirzepatide four days ago and I have so much G.I. discomfort, but not nausea. I keep belching and I’m incredibly bloated and feel like my stomach is just not working or feeling good. in a few days I will ask my doctor if I should go down to maybe .5 mg a week or something. I hope I’m a good candidate for this and it’s not something I cannot tolerate. Even though I feel full all the time because there’s like a pit in my stomach, that does not make me not want to eat it just makes me more uncomfortable.How soon did you actually start feeling appetite suppressant qualities or you had more choices for what you wanted to eat? Not just fullness? Thank you so much
Hi thank you so much for sharing!!! I think I’m going to start, I’m 5.4 and 175 lbs after two babies past two and half years. I wanted to ask you, please be honest… what was your eating like taking the micro dosing? I’d I understand correctly you took 2.5mg once a week? And then went down to 1.5 mg?
I deff was hungrier and had more food noise when I dropped in dose but I still feel like the micro dose helped. It was nice to slowly wean off. I’ve now been maintaining off the meds 6 months.
My understanding of "micro-dosing" is taking a very small dose on a daily basis. Say you want to take 2.5mg in a week. You take 2.5 / 6 (one day off) and dose that amount, 400mcg each of the 6 days. Am I wrong?
I have been on a terzepitide compound for over 5 months. I have lost 40 pounds. I have not gone over 10mgs. I want to maintain my current weight, but some days I have zero appetite. My plan is to decrease and see what happens. I do feel tired often.
Sounds like you’re doing amazing! Best of luck on the rest of your journey! I bet that fatigue will ease up as you go down in doses. I’m rooting for you!
Would you pls share a good site for Tirzepatide GLP-1 with a good price….. i just get mine for a month 2.5 i injected 2 days ago no side effects yet… still have the desire for a chocolate after eating

I'm the heaviest I've ever been. My hormones are all over the place. Im 47, and i feel like im 80. I need to lose 80 pounds, and I've been really thinking about microdosing. I am just so scared of all the side effects.
UK here, Please some advice!Lost 9lb in 3 weeks at 2.5mg mounjaro. Up to 10mg now and have lost a further 6lb in 6 months! Every new higher dose I drop a 1lb then all effects gone after. I want to microdose can I go back down to 2.5 x 2 per week or will it have no effect? I got so many benefits from 2.5, now I’m just up/down & losing nothing. Please help! It’s too expensive to not know. x
Everyone's body is so different so it's hard to know. If you are sticking with your lifestyle changes in addition to the meds you will likely see the most success! Still do regular exercise with strength training, eat high protein and maybe also do intermittent fasting.
Can you split the dose yourself or does the compounded pharmacy need to ship you the dose you want? Curious how it comes and if you can personalize it and inject the amount you want.
You can talk to your provider about your dose, but I also found suppression to be at it's highest a couple days out of the week and then I tried to lean into my coping strategies and lifestyle changes on the other days.
I just started and plan to stay on 2.5 as long as I am losing weight. I think as long as you stay high protein, and no sugar you should be ok, and you can use fat to quiet hunger. ❤ look into Dr. Kiltzs ice cream for pms.
I was on tirzepatide and I took 2.5mg as my therapeutic dose. Providers generally start prescribing tirzep at 2.5 as the starting dose. The dosing for tirzeaptide and semaglutide is different.
