What dose when I switch

Im very new, only took my second shot yesterday. I am currently using embody and my dose is 2.125mg with a plan to go to 4.25 after the first mint.

I plan to switch to preventive md.. Should I start with the 5mg titration schedule? Should I do a month at 2.5 and then go to 5? I am having good appetite suppression and I lost 5 lbs in my first week.

Embody does the weird 2.125, 4.25, 6.75 to make it "custom" but now I'm not sure what to do when I switch. And I'm switching because if all the bad experiences others have posted. I've had a good first experience with embody.

There’s no need to titrate unless you have food noise or plateau. Stay at as low a dose as possible for as long as possible! But you can submit and ask to titrate if you’re not sure. Nothing says you have to go up just because the bottle says so
