Stalled 11 weeks at 1.7mg — dose hold, step up, or switch to tirze?

Before switching drugs: what's your actual kcal intake? An 11-week stall at any GLP-1 is usually 'calories crept up' more than 'drug stopped working.' Log everything for 14 days to scale, then decide.

Switched at a similar stall point. Sema 1.7 -> tirze 7.5. Lost 11lb in the first 6 weeks on tirze. Dual mechanism (GIP+GLP-1) genuinely pulled where sema alone had plateaued. N=1 but it matches what others have reported.

I'd try a 2-week full break before switching. Sometimes receptors resensitize and the same dose works again after a pause. Cheaper than switching molecules.

The 'stall' question almost always decomposes into: maintenance calories dropped with weight, and you haven't reduced intake to match. Your body at -50lb needs ~15-20% fewer kcal than at start. Drug suppressing appetite doesn't mean you're eating fewer calories than you burn at the new weight.

Honestly macros guru nailed it. Everyone wants to blame the drug when they hit week 11 but I've never seen someone actually log and find out they're still in a deficit. Your maintenance went down with your weight, you're probably eating at maintenance now without realizing it. Try the calorie audit before you spend money switching to tirze, that's my take.

held at 1.6 for like 8 weeks then dropped another 12lb week 9 without changing anything. bodies are weird, stalls dont always mean youre done losing. id give it another 3-4 weeks before switching, tirze is way more expensive and you might be surprised.
