Congrats CanadaChris!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉 👏

Clinical perspective on 5mg doing nothing - should I ask to go:

I have managed over 200 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.

For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

Subscribing to this thread. 5mg doing nothing - is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

Reading this thread on 5mg doing nothing - hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 279 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 54 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about 5mg doing nothing - — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

This is exactly right. PurityPaulOR articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The 5mg doing nothing - aspect is what made the difference for me.
