Based on the patient reports provided, there is limited direct information specifically about "microdosing." One patient described trying to quiet food noise with a microdose of Ozempic as potentially leading to nausea without the full desired effect, comparing it to fixing a leaky faucet with a sledgehammer. Another patient starting Retatrutide at 1mg experienced heavy nausea and suggested that starting with 0.5mg might have been better. This patient also advised not to change a low dose if it is working. A different patient considering Retatrutide was thinking about a minimum dose to start.
Patients should discuss dosing strategies and potential side effects, such as nausea, with their doctor.

"I'd be annoyed if I finally stopped tracking every almond and then spent my day fighting nausea instead."
Patient · Ozempic · r/Ozempic
"In the hindsight I should have started with 0.5 considering how nauseous it was. And if low do works do not change them, 1mg is doing amazing as a starter."
