Tirz dosing schedule?

Elocin said:

Complete beginner here, so sorry if this sounds like a silly question.

Given how long Tirz stays in the system, would you inject every 5 days or every 7 days? Once it has accumulated in the body, does the gap really change much?

How has it worked out for you?

Splitting your dose can be a smart move if any of these apply: you're titrating upward, you're getting hungry partway through the week, or the amount you need to keep losing 1-2lbs/week (or to hold steady) is bringing side effects. Convenience is the main reason the whole week's dose gets bundled together. After you switch to a pen, injections won't feel the same at all.

My own routine is once a week, but I offset it with Survo so appetite noise stays quiet midweek. Back when I was titrating, I raised the dose by 20% each week and injected every 3 days, which let me pull back if side effects showed up. That approach really pays off during a switch or when testing something unfamiliar. Still, plug your numbers into a blood level tracker such as glp1plotter!

My injections happen once per 7 days. Feeling some hunger during the final days of that 7-day stretch is NOT something negative. My goal is to actually work on handling hunger rather than getting rid of it completely.

Plus, despite those hunger cues appearing near the end, overeating should still be impossible.

I agree with every bit of that. That said, if I hadn't been using a prescription brand, I'd have switched to a 5-day interval for 1 more month prior to raising the dose, and then returned to a 7-day interval at the higher dose.
