12.5mg -please share your experience

[wondabar]

I started in July 2024 and have stayed on each dose until the suppression stopped. Having plateaued on 10mg after around 4 months, I have decided to go to 12.5mg. How was your experience when you moved to 12.5mg? I’m currently at 76kg and ideally want to end at around 65 kg (having started at 98kg). I’m worried about increased nausea and diorrhea going on the higher dose.

I've just started 15mg. I've had no side effects on any doses apart from some strong suppression at start of doses. Managed 2 pens on 12.5mg, it wore off with 3 doses remaining on 2nd pen. It was good but weaker than expected, felt similar to 10mg for me.

It gave me good losses, I'm bmi 24.8 and lost 5.5lbs last month. I do track calories strictly and eat low carb which helps with consistent losses.

I was fine on 12.5 first time I was on it but also went up to 15 and had horrendous diarrhoea on my second pen. I dropped down to 12.5 but diarrhoea was still bad. I’m on 10mg and am generally fine on that ( maintenance bmi 20 though)

I did 4 pens of 7.5, and just finished my 2nd pen of 10mg.. I took the bonus dose which was 12.5mg in the end and it hit me big time.. as in felt like I'd eaten a massive roast dinner that's before I'd even eaten anything.. and was the 1st time I've had a sick feeling, after I'd eaten felt queezy for about 10/ 20 mins.. I took that Monday and it took me till yesterday to start feeling normal again..
My next pen is 10mg, glad I didn't get a 12.5..

I have just felt bloated, full, bit sluggish but better now.. fingers crossed its nit the same for you..

Got me to my goal weight though so silver lining and all that. Ha.

I'm on my second 12.5 pen. I think it's great! No issues. No side effects (except fatigue I've had since the start). It's working well (BMI is now 19). I'm ready for maintenance now but don't want to move back down the doses as I'm v happy with the 12.5mg pen!!
