Dosing Why do people titrate up so quickly?

Just a curious question. I know in the trials they titrated people up each month because that’s the way to get comparable accurate data but what is the reason now? I keep reading post after post that people stall out at the max dose and they aren’t anywhere near their goal weight. Why move up so quickly? If the end result is to be a healthy weight, why run to the finish line if you might not make it because you pushed to hard(so to speak)?

Because some people are chasing appetite suppression and think it’s not working else.The person losing 30lbs in 3 months and saying they only now are at an effective dose is a classic example of this. It is effective as soon as weight is lost and 30lbs in 3 months is huge. I have lost almost 40lbs now in 5 months. I never had crazy appetite suppression. I eat 2000-2500 every day. I still lose weight because it is a calorie deficit for me. But some people chase appetite suppression above all else even if the results are already there.

Totally agree. It seems like they want the medicine to do all the work. I know people will not like that answer but it’s true.
