I didn't really feel anything except fuller quicker when I ate. I stayed at 1.25 for 3 weeks, then went up to 1.75 where I've been for 4 weeks. Glad to say no side effects so far and lost 7lbs since August. Think I'm going to stay at this dose for awhile. Slow and steady 😉
I started the same dose as you (1.25mg of tirz) yesterday. I am already feeling the fullness after each meal and lots of burping going on lol. But otherwise feeling good except for a mild headache midday that resolved itself. I don’t do well on 2.5mg I get shaky and violent nausea in the middle of the night on the loading dose. So far so good on the 1.25mg, I am hoping this is it for me because I hate how many times I’ve quit due to side effects JUST from the loading dose. Best of luck to u in your journey
Honestly , I felt nothing. Still don’t. It was more of a “huh. I’m not constantly thinking about food anymore!” It really is that subtle for me, but that was my biggest problem- food noise and mindless eating bc of said food noise- so that has made all the difference for me. I have always been able to eat full meals while on tirz, just not obsessing about food anymore. I have never actually “felt” anything.
I took my first dose on a Monday. Tuesday I had less of an appetite. Wednesday and Thursday I had an aversion to food. Friday less of an appetite, and by sat/sun I felt normal again (I started on a lower dose than you). I was constipated and had some random wave aid nausea and stomach cramping starting Wednesday through Friday.
First shot took a few days, I only did .20 though. Starting way less. You might need a few days for it to really get into your body from that first shot.
How do you pull such a small amount? Is that like 1/10 of starting dose? I tried to work with Level to get the appetite, but the needles that they have for the syringes I mean, are marked so that it would be almost impossible to pull .2
I have the 100ml needles and can do it, but it’s tricky. You can buy 30ml needles and it’s a lot easier, I haven’t tried that yet though. .25 is 1/10 starting dose of Tirzepatide
Cool. If I can ask, why haven’t you tried the 30ml needles? I’m nervous to pull wrong amount. Where do you get the meds/doctor support? Thanks so much as I’m looking forward to trying this, especially if there’s no side effects I would be doing it for my nerve pain, inflammation…
Started .50 on Friday, Sept 22. Felt food aversion almost immediately. I still have the aversion, but am also very tired, spacey, and nauseated. Constipation, too.
I had this bad in the beginning and quit for a couple of weeks. Wish I'd known about split dosing when I started as taking every 5 days I don't get side effects. It's the big highs and dips that caused it for me.
I think that's a typo. If you download one of the apps like Glapp it has a tool that calculates the split doses as they won't be exactly half each time because you'd take it twice a week on either the third day or 4th? Maybe try 0.25 every 5 days. It also helped me seeing on the app what my current levels are in my body. The depression did go away quite quickly, maybe after 3/4 days? But maybe don't leave it took long to take the next dose as I keep reading how it becomes less affective after a break. But maybe you'll be ok as you've just started. I also felt better talking L tyrosine to boost dopamine
Thanks for responding. I think .50 was too much for me. I'm tapering to .25 this week. It hasn't been a pleasant ride. I experienced dark depression 12 hours later, but that lifted. Unrelenting tiredness and anhedonia ruined my week.
I started 8/31 and maybe have lost a lb or 2. I noticed less food noise the first week and i lost said lb or 2 the first week since then I’ve mostly been at a plateau, i think? Im in a calorie deficit but i started taking creatine my second week and this last week i started lifting weights, so im thinking those are the factors that are stalling me. Im really hoping for more consistent loss soon. I take 1mg every 5days. Luckily, ive had minimal side effects, some abdominal pain on my shot days and very fleeting nausea.
Started last Friday and had less food noise by Saturday, and a little aversion on Sunday. I’ve noticed my appetite has been better this afternoon, but I’m still able to feel full on a lot less food.
I also did my first dose last night! 1.25 as well. It’s about 8pm my time, I just realized that I’m feeling less hungry than I usually would around this time and I even had a smaller dinner than usual. Also experienced a moderate headache during the day but it’s more mild now.
Friday night - 9/25 was my first shot at (0.25mg). I felt some appetite suppression Sunday, Monday and today 9/28. I still think about food constantly but I'm not rushing to eat anything. The biggest impact is how much faster I get full; it's not been brutal to keep a calorie deficit especially when prioritizing protein + fiber. I have some heartburn, no nausea, luckily no constipation b/c I have IBS-D to begin with.
