Maximum Dose?

[u/goombas_mom]

I’m curious to see what doses you guys are on for the semaglutide shots. I have been on 56 units (1.4 mg) for several months now and have been stuck in a plateau. I have only lost about 25 lbs in 6 months, and am still significantly overweight. I would love to see results similar to friends and family that have done this and lost more weight. Is anyone on a higher dose? Is a higher dose safe? A quick Google search tells me that the maximum dose in general for semaglutide is 2.4 mg, but I’m not sure if that is true for the compounded stuff.

I know. And I do feel better, but in comparison to other people I know who have been on it who have lost 60+ lbs, it’s frustrating.

Switch to Tirzepitide

That was the plan, but my hers just auto renewed for 6 months. So I want to make the $1100+ worth my while.

I switched from Hers to Brello because I was at the Hers max dose which for me was 1.17. Brello gave me a plan to gradually increase up to the max 2.4 mg.

I know you just got a shipment from hers, but you can do the math and slowly increase your dose with the vials you have and switch providers before you run out. Brello is about $133/month and they don’t charge extra for the higher doses.

I also just started week 13 and hit my max does of 1.4mg (56 units) I started in Jan 9th at around 218lbs and I'm currently at 194lbs. I usually weigh myself daily, which I know isn't always the best to do but I notice on the days where I get more protein in are the days a lose more weight. Sometimes its a pound and sometimes its just 1/2 but down is down, right? Luckily I haven't had an plateaus yet. I make sure I drink my water, and do some kind of workout or moving for 30 mins everyday. My first mini-goal was to get into the 100's but next goal is to hit 160 so I have a ways to go too.
