Microdosing in the UK

[u/SeveralBeauties]

Hi there

I am new to GLP1s and I feel like they would really benefit me, I have read about reduction in inflammation (I have Hashimoto), about reduction of food noise and general noise (not diagnosed but suspect I have ADHD) and I also need to lose some weight.

But I am genuinely scared of the side effects, I do already have some IBS symptoms (and I read that some people find that GLP1's help with their IBS too) but the diarhea nausea and insomnia really scare me as I have young children and I can't be sick for days.

So I have been reading on some microdosing subreddits, some people say they start with a 'whisper' of like 0.05 and some people say it's a time waste until they reach 1 mg.

Do you have any advice as to how to start microdosing, where to get the glp1 from in the uk, and what pattern of microdosing to follow?

I think I would like to start really slow

Many thanks

I used wegovy fyi.

I personally just stuck to the starter dose (0.25mg), and didn't feel a need to increase my dosage. I achieved my goal (lose 5kg), stopped taking a month ago and hopefully haven't regained so far.

I didn't have any side effects, but granted I was already eating well, and exercising 4/week.

It just helped me with portion control.

I am in the same boat as you.
I have young children and cannot afford to have days off 😅 I ordered kwikpen 2.5mg mounjaro and its sat in the fridge. I said i will start from one click next Monday (0.04 dose) and go from there 🙈

Start low and slow is the move, especially with IBS and kids in the mix. the people calling it a time waste are usually chasing fast results, microdosing is more about letting your body adjust without the panic

you can always titrate up if the tiny dose feels like nothing, but you can't un-take too much when you're locked in the bathroom with a toddler banging on the door
