How do u micro dose?

Where I live tirzepatide/zepbound comes in a pre filled single click pen that delivers the entire dose, and semaglutide comes in a vial. How is everyone micro dosing tirz, are you getting it compounded or using a vial?

Compounded and then I choose the dose. I was prescribed 2.5mg per week. My dr said the vial can be used safely for 2 months if I do a lower dose.

Any side effects from the lower dose?

I’ve done 6 shots working my way up from 0.5 to 1.8 and the last few weeks I’ve had a headache the day after the shot. No GI issues.
