| My doc is suggesting I start at 1.25 of generic Zepbound... mostly because I always have terrible side effects. Curious is anyone else has done this and what their trajectory was. |

| You should always start low and gradually move up. |

Yes. I started at 0.25 and 1.0 is where it ended for me.
Attempted the next higher dose and it was pure hell. At 1.0 now that I’ve hit my goal weight. Took me less than a year - lost 40 lbs Good luck |

| Thank you. I’m not sure what to do myself. Started at 1.5 last week, lost 1.5 already but I assume it’s water as I think I was coming off a cycle. Not sure when to just try the 2.5. Doc said I could finish the dose today but I have very very mild side effects even in 1.5. Any advice welcome. I think if this water weight stays off I should stick with the 1.5 but also don’t want to waste time and money if it’s ultimately no use. |

You won't be able to get compounded Tirzepatide for much longer so I'd start to get used to a 2.5 dose |

This. There isn't a generic Zepbound. There is compounded which I assume you are using. If you are self dosing from a higher concentration then you need to calculate the punctures/safety of what you are doing. |
