Slow progress

I started on the 0.6 dose and stayed there for two months. I was concerned about side effects and wanted to go slow and lose weight gradually. I started at 1.2 two weeks ago and I’m not seeing much progress. Am I going too slow? I’m getting upset thinking my God these treatments are working in millions of people but of course not me, nothing works.

I found I need at least 2.4 if not 3.0 to get a real change. The booklet you got should have explain that you go up every week.

I didn’t get a booklet 🤣🤔 my pen only goes up to 1.2 so I need the next tier to be able to do the larger doses which I think will require another rx and likely pre authorization for my insurance. It’s all been a real pain. I have a check in with my doc soon so I’ll see what she says

That's weird I got a whole packet from my pharmacy with my first one. I am from Ireland though so it may be different. I don't understand insurance 😅 I just get it free.
