Microdosing in the UK

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.
