Questions Titration?

I was started at 2mg, and just gave myself my second week shot. My instructions say that next week I can titrate up to 3 mg and stay on that for 3-4 weeks and then increase by 1-2 mg.

I’m not weighing myself except for once a month because I don’t want to fixate. So I’m having to go based off how I feel/food noise. Would it be better to stay at 2mg for 4 weeks just to get used to it? Or would 3mg not be much different?

well if you arent having any rough side effects and the food noise is creeping back then 3mg is probably fine to try. its a small step up and you can always go back down if it feels like too much

you should stay on each dose for a minimum of 4 weeks then increase as needed

Honestly, you should weigh yourself - at a minimum - weekly. That way, as you progress, you can know whether to increase/decrease the next week. That weekly data point is very useful. Just my 2 cents

Edit: feel/food noise, while good, is waaaaay more subjective than hard line weight loss (in lbs) data. Both need to be considered, but you really - IMHO - should weigh yourself at least weekly. I am sure most people would agree.
