Protocol 3: the accelerated microdose (for mild sensitivity) Goal: Slightly gentler than standard without adding months to the timeline Best for: People with mild concerns about side effects, those who tolerated other GLP-1 medications like semaglutide but want a slightly easier start with tirzepatide Complete schedule: Weeks 1-2: 0.5 mg weekly Weeks 3-4: 1.0 mg weekly Weeks 5-6: 1.5 mg weekly Weeks 7-10: 2.5 mg weekly Weeks 11-14: 5.0 mg weekly Time to therapeutic dose: 10-14 weeks Expected results: Some mild nausea during the first two to three increases, clear appetite suppression by week 5, weight loss beginning around weeks 7-10 This protocol adds only a few weeks compared to standard titration but provides a meaningful buffer during the critical early weeks when side effects are most likely to drive people away from treatment
