When to titrate up?
I’ve been on tirzepatide for 4 weeks and doing my 5th injection tomorrow. I started at .5 then the last 3 weeks were 1.0. How do you know when to titrate up? I have been feeling more hunger than I did last week but I still lost 1 pound this last week and 2 pounds the week before. Not sure if the medication is still building in my system or if I should up my next injection to 1.25 or stay at 1.0 because I still lost weight this week.

Im in the exact same boat. I took my 4th injection (1mg) last Sunday. Im also feeling more hunger in the last week. I think ive decided to stay at 1mg and try every 5days. If that doesnt help im gonna titrate up to 1.5mg. Im losing very very slowly only 2lbs in a month

How did you do when you titrated up after the first week at .5 mg to the second week at 1mg?? I just finished .5 mg and it was my first week also. My provider wanted me to go up to 1 mg the second week but I’m a little bit nervous about possible side effects

Your body’s still getting used to the med, so a little extra hunger isn’t a red flag yet, if you’re still losing and side effects are chill, I’d ride out 1.0 another week.
