Experiences with 2.5 → 3.75 → 5mg
I’m curious to hear experiences of anyone who has taken a slower approach with Mounjaro dosing and gone 2.5mg → 3.75mg → 5mg instead of moving straight from 2.5mg to 5mg.
I know everyone is different and dose increases depend on things like weight loss, appetite suppression and side effects.
With the cost being insane, I’m wondering whether staying on the lowest effective dose for longer is a good strategy or whether people feel like slower titration just delays getting to the doses that might be needed later.
For those who went slowly:
How long did you stay on 2.5mg?
Did you use 3.75mg as a stepping stone?
How long were you on 3.75mg before 5mg?
Did you feel slower increases helped with side effects?
Do you think slower titration helps preserve the effectiveness of higher doses, or does it risk building tolerance?
Would love to hear what worked for you and if you’d do anything differently.
