Microdosing (2.5mg) for BED - Looking for ppl in a similar situation
About 1,5 years ago I started Mounjaro for weight loss and to help treat binge eating disorder. It genuinely helped a lot and I got to the weight I feel comfortable and healthy in. I titrated up over time, eventually reaching 7.5mg. Eventually I did a taper down and came off it completely.
A few months after stopping, though, the binge urges started creeping back even with my anxiety/depression medication (which never stopped binges 100% to be honest).
So about 3 months ago I restarted at a low dose, 2.5 mg, and for me, taking it every two weeks has actually been enough to keep things in check.
I’m curious if anyone else has been in a similar spot, titrating up, tapering off, then finding you needed to go back on a small maintenance dose, and at a lower frequency, to manage food compulsion specifically, separate from the weight loss side of things.
Would love to hear how it’s gone for you, and whether a low, spaced-out dose like this is something others have found sustainable long term.
