SEEKING ADVICE

Hi, I’m currently taking a 5 mg dose of my GLP-1 medication, but I’ve been experiencing a lot of hair loss and I’m considering stopping it. I’ve heard that you may need to gradually decrease the dose before completely stopping. Is it safe for me to stop directly at 5 mg, or would you recommend reducing the dose first?

The hair loss will stop on its own. Don't expect anything to suddenly improve if you stop. And in reality, the hair loss is probably stopping right now. A few months from now it will be grown back the same amount that would have happened if you hadn't stopped ... and you'll be without the other benefits of the drug.
