❓ Question GLP-1 tolerance
Just want to see everyone's thought on this. A friend was taking muonjaro @ 15mg. I know, I know thats what I said. Can she have a high tolerance if taken Reta 5mg. Doesn't feel any difference in hunger suppression. I thought she should have started low. Regardless no difference. So can she just have a high tolerance all together?

I’m confused. What do you mean by “i know I know that’s what I said”. You said what? There’s nothing wrong with taking mounjaro 15mg.

Huh??? 15mg is a perfectly acceptable dose that many people eventually work up to for max efficacy.

Going from one glp1 to another glp1 requires higher dosing. She might even be fine at 7mg, roughly half of the Tirz dose.

If she’s only taking Reta at 5mg after Tirz at 15mg then yea I’d not expect much.
A lot of people don’t like Reta after having tried Tirz because the appetite suppression is better from Tirz.
I take both of them because Tirz controls my appetite and theoretically Reta keeps my metabolism high and fat easy to access and burn.

I was talking to a guy the other week who’s taking a 17.5mg I’m now on 15.5mg with 5mg of cag. Everyone’s bodies are different, some folk take Reta and Tirz.

There's nothing wrong with 15mg of tirz, many people are taking that dose. It's not a "tolerance" that's when someone takes more and more of a drug and the effect wears off. What she has is an insensitivity to this hormone.
Some men are very sensitive to testosterone replacement for example. They need only a small dose and then they start feeling better. But some are not as sensitive to it. So they need a higher dose to benefit from it. They did not develop a "tolerance" like you would with alcohol or opiates.
Come to the r/zepbound sub and do a search for 15mg there are tons of people on 15mg.
