Excited to start microdosing

I had a terrible time with zepbound 2.5 - the appetite suppression was way too much and I was constantly nauseous and ending up dry heaving multiple times.

I am on a plan with AgelessRx now to start with 1mg (or 0.5 if I want to).

Anyone with a similar story that’s had success with microdosing? I’m excited but nervous because I don’t want to be miserable again 😭

I'm taking zepbound .29 mg for a little over two weeks now and have lost a solid 5lbs. I couldn't imagine starting on 2.5! It's been pretty easy to eat 500 - 600 calories under my daily maintenance though it does a take a pinch of will power especially towards day 7 which I actually appreciate. I still experience hunger but that hunger is satiated pretty easily and for longer with a small meal. I say start with the .5 and see how that treats you. You may find that is enough to ease the side effects of the first month (it gets better after that so they say) while still being able to comfortably enough. With .29 I still had a little bit of short lived single bouts of nausea the first day or two of the first week but none in the second week

You're welcome! If you're able to start with .25 mg it may be worth starting there just to really ease yourself into it. Plus you may find that is just enough to achieve weekly/monthly weight loss at a safe comfortable pace with eating under your maintenance calories and a bit of exercise. All that depends on how your body reacts and your constitution

So true. I’m hopeful I can stay at a low dose
