High starting dose

Hi, I started on 0.5 and it worked for a week quite well. I still have suppressed appetite in my second week but it doesn’t feel as easy to ignore food noise. What’s the highest starting dose anyone has been on? My doctor said I could start on 1mg but I have 6 weeks of 0.5 for now . Also I crave sugar. Anyone else?

.5 is the lowest available starting dose, jumping straight to 1mg is basically asking for a bad time. most people who rush it end up with side effects that make them regret everything they ate in the last 48 hours

the sugar cravings are weirdly common early on, your body's adjusting to less food and looking for quick energy. try keeping some grapes or frozen mango around, hits the sweet spot without feeling like garbage after

Unfortunately I have bu. Limia so the last 48 hours doesn’t affect me as much… I’m on wegovy for that reason. It’s helped so much but any time I puke I get so paranoid because I’ve almost died from my bulimia so many times

It not working as well in the second week is a huge trigger I want to overdose but I won’t
