I started on branded zepbound at 2.5 and was decently sick the first couple weeks. Not bad, but zero appetite. I was also like 370 lbs then too so that contributed I’m sure.
For the added benefits, my suspicion is you get them at lower doses too, so if you aren’t targeting weight loss, start low and see where it goes. The inflammation change was drastic and noticeable within a couple weeks I’d say.
My dad started at 2.5 and felt nothing. Each month he’s moved up and now is on 10 and finally getting appetite control and losing weight. So maybe it’s all very individual based. But I’d say start slow imo.

Got a quick question for you Triz users. Have never used a GLP-1 as I usually am pretty good with my diet nowadays. However I am interested in some of the benefits I have been hearing about besides weight loss. I have tried every other compound under the sun, so why not.
Quick question is, did you start off with the pharma recommended dose of 2.5mg/week for 4 weeks before going to 5mg and possibly all the way up to 15 if needed, or did you just start off with the 5 or higher, or lower than 2.5 for that matter.
