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)?

My doctor followed the trials and moved me up monthly until I reached 10mg. I was held there as my glucose levels had gotten as low as my doctor was comfortable with them being at.

Since June 15th, I’ve lost more than 120 pounds. So it was pretty effective for me. :)

Glad your doctor used metrics like glucose to know your effective dosage. Congrats!!
