It is late and I can not sleep so I am posting about the psychology of plateaus what worked.

I have been putting off posting this but here goes.

Sorry if this is rambly — I just needed to get it out somewhere that people would understand. You all have been through it.

AmyNC_wife's experience with The psychology of resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 46 lbs in 11 months.

One thing I would add that AmyNC_wife did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.

Thanks for sharing this, AmyNC_wife. A few questions about your The psychology of experience:

1. What dose are you currently on?
2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about The psychology?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on The psychology of.

To answer RegAffairsDC: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.

Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to The psychology of plateaus — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 219 → 119 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
