Does anyone take planned breaks from tirzepatide?

My clinic suggested scheduled breaks from tirz every few months to 'keep receptors responsive' and honestly I'm skeptical. The one gap I had (a shipment delay) brought the food noise back within 48 hours and I gained 3 lbs that week. Is there anyone here who deliberately cycles — like a week off every quarter — and genuinely feels it helps? Or is this one of those forum theories that sounds more scientific than it is?

Are you doing resistance training? I've been worried about muscle loss and my doctor said lifting is critical while on GLP-1s.

Following because I'm in the same boat. Week 27, 12.5mg, and the plateau is real. I'm trying to be patient but it's frustrating.
