@silencemedical_pllc: Did you know that during your first month on a GLP-1, the amount of medication in your system nearly doubles—even if your weekly dosage never changes? 📊 Because GLP-1s have roughly a 7-day half-life, each dose stacks on top of what remains from previous weeks. It takes 4 to 5 weeks on a single dose to reach a true steady state. Rushing your dosage increases means stacking higher levels before your body establishes a baseline, which is why side effects can suddenly appear weeks later. Take your time, focus on sustainable lifestyle habits, and work closely with your healthcare provider. Save this post for reference and follow @SilenceMedical for evidence-based GLP-1 education!
