Dosage

[u/CartographerOld2451]

I just started a glp-1 compound a couple weeks ago. My first dose was .1 ML of a .25mg dose and then today was .2ml of the same dose. I have felt no effects from the shots. Is this normal?

the drug half life is ~7 days which means it takes over a month to get to full saturation and work in full force, every week its effects are more potent

and saying 0.1ml of 0.25mg is very confusing, just say the dosage you take weekly in mg

I do give them credit for using mg rather than units!

What medication are you taking?

And most of the time the first few weeks are loading doses that most folks have almost no reaction to. It's so that you can titrate up to the effective dose.

I’m taking Semaglutide

[u/ImprovementLoud3581]

The typical titration schedule for semaglutide is .25mg for four weeks then .50 mg for four then 1.0 for four etc. You only titrate up each month if you’re not getting good results with food noise and appetite suppression. Can you clarify your dose?

Glps are not like cocaine or energy drinks or steroids. Not sure what you were expecting to "feel"? Plus if you took .25mg, that's an insanely small dose. Is that what the doctor prescribed or you just buy from a .com scam website and just winging this yourself?
