Plateau on Compounded Semaglutide – Maybe My Titration Was Too Fast?

Question

25 mg once a week and kept my weekly weight, HRV and sleep logs. 5 kg a month and appetite was a trickle – I hardly felt hungry after my dinner. Then the loss slowed, plateauing at a 5 contagious. 5 mg after two weeks, thinking the body needed a stronger dose, but that brought nausea and an extra 30 min of stomach upset each time. 25 mg to see if a steadier rise would help. I also added a 5‑day low‑carb tweak to see if that would push me over the plateau. No big change yet, but the nausea lessened slightly, and my HRV sits a touch higher. Anyone else hit a wall around 12 weeks and found a way to break it? Maybe a slower uptick or a short break helped. I’ll keep the logs and share the next round.

I’ve been watching the same curve for a while – after about three months the kilos stall and the nausea auteurs come back. 5 mg every two weeks instead of 5 mg all at once, helped me stay under the stomach edge and I felt the scale tip again. I also took a one‑week pause after the 12‑week mark, kept the low‑carb tweak, and when I re‑started the dose it slid back into a downward slope. Don’t forget to lock in a check‑up with your GP before any changes, though – safety first.

Thanks for the tip – I’ll try the 5 mg every two weeks schedule and a one‑week pause after the 12‑week mark, since I already did the low‑carb tweak and the plateau stuck. I’m curious if you saw any lift in HRV during the pause before you eased back into the dose.

I ran into a similar wall after about 10 weeks on 25 mg once weekly. I decided to drop the dose to 15 mg for two weeks, then bump back up to 25 mg. The nausea eased enough to keep injecting, and I noticed a small rebound in weight loss the next month. I also kept my carb intake steady instead of a sharp low‑carb run; the body seemed to adapt better without the extra shock. Have you tried a մild down‑titration before going back up?

I haven’t tried a mild down‑titration yet – I jumped from 25 mg to 5 mg for a couple of weeks and then back to 25 mg, which still left me nauseous. Your 15 mg two‑week break sounds like a good idea to ease the stomach, and I’ll also keep carbs steady like you did so the body isn’t getting another shock. Have you noticed any specific weight‑loss rebound figure after the bump back up?
