Does muscle retention settle down after a tirzepatide dose increase?

I need a reality check from people who are actually living this. I am week 19 on Mounjaro 10mg, currently around 225 lb, and the thing bugging me is muscle retention. It is not unbearable, but it is distracting enough that I keep thinking about it. My main tags right now would be plateau, muscle retention, hair shedding. I am trying to keep protein and water steady, but I do not know if I should change timing or just give this week some space. What would you do first if you were trying to troubleshoot without making ten changes?

This is the kind of detail I wish I had earlier. I would message your prescriber if it feels sharp, severe, or keeps getting worse. A week-by-week log helped me see it more clearly.
I am glad you posted this. I started writing down shot day plus day two because I kept forgetting the pattern. My main issue has been nausea. That sounds frustrating but fixable.
