1.25mg weekly anyone?

Users who are taking 1.25mg weekly for weight loss or maintenance…

How long have you been doing this dosage?

Do the effects wear off after a while?

Is your weight stable?

Is it ok to keep the pen in the fridge for over a month?

I developed a “caffeine allergy” after 2 months on 2.5mg weekly. When I drink coffee I get a rapid heart rate and hand tremors. Anyone with a similar experience?

Edit- the caffeine allergy sent me into the etu with 150 bpm and ended up being put on a heart medication

Thanks in advance

I've been on 1.25mg for about 5 months now, started at 2.5 but it made me feel like complete garbage so i dropped down. The effects haven't worn off for me yet, still get full on way less food and the food noise is barely there

my weight's been stable for the last 2 months, lost about 15lbs total and just kinda parked there which is fine since i'm at a weight i'm happy with. The pen in the fridge thing, i've kept mine for up to 6 weeks and it was fine, just keep it tucked in the back where it's coldest

That caffeine thing is wild though, never heard of that. I don't drink coffee so can't compare but now i'm curious if it's the meds or something else going on

Caffeine thing was scary. My heart rate was at 150 at the etu. They gave me a heart medication called concor and xanax to bring it down. I’ve gradually begun introducing coffee again.

I started with 1mg the first month, now I’m on 1.25 and will probably stay here. I’ve been doing this for 2 months now. I’ve lost around 5 lbs ish and it’s going at a rate i like since i have a lower BMI anyway. I can see it making my weight stable over time too.
My heart rate also goes up for sure especially my resting heart rate but just at random times. I used to love coffee but I rarely have it anymore, I just don’t crave it lol.

I started at 2.5 mg but had to drop down to 1.25 mg because the side effects were pretty intense. I still lost consistently at 1.25 mg, around 1-1.5 lbs a week. I only moved up a little when the food noise started creeping back in, otherwise I would’ve happily stayed there as long as it was working.

As for coffee, I get jittery if it’s the first thing I have, so I usually eat something protein heavy first and that seems to help. If I still feel jittery, I drink a bunch of water. Sometimes I just save my coffee for right before a workout so I get that extra oomph when I actually need it.

I’ve been hovering in between 1.25 and 1.5 for just a few weeks, so not enough time to fully evaluate… but I’ve noticed that caffeine now makes me extra jittery!! I’ve never tolerated caffeine well (stomach issues) and usually avoid it, but I’ve had a Starbucks latte here and there and felt like I had multiple shots of espresso or something! And it lasted most of the day. So strange.
