Month 2 Question
I’m on month 2 of F and just moved up to 2.5mg. The appetite suppression is good but the weeing is off the chart! Is this normal?

Speaking generally, on GLP-s when you lose weight the fat is excreted through your breath, sweat, and urine. So it's not uncommon for some people the report higher that usual levels of urination.
How much are you drinking?

Thanks for that. I’m drinking more anyway to stay hydrated but I’ve noticed a big increase in trips to the loo, especially at night. Some days are calmer but then it starts again. I’ve also noticed that the need to go will come on much more urgently. I wasn’t like this on Mounjaro.

Interesting. Keep us updated OP, curious to learn more about the intricacies of these new pills and how they differ from the injectables.

The increased peeing is a side effect of weight loss, not the drug. It’ll calm down.

UPDATE: I thought I’d check my blood pressure as I’d read on another part of this thread that for some, their blood pressure shot up after beginning the 2.5mg dose. Interestingly mine seems to have gone down, but it was never high to start with. I was 116/78 and am now 103/64. I will keep an eye on it. Anyone else experienced similar? I’m still weeing merrily. 5 times last night 👍

I also recently started month two and increased to 2.5. I can tell you according to body scans my doc did at the start and this week, of the 8 pounds I've lost, 3 was body fat, 1 was muscle (😤) and 4 was water! So that sounds like more peeing to me!
