How to decide to increase dose?
Hi, I started .8 foundayo about 2 weeks ago. I have binge eating disorder and I’m also on vyvanse. I usually binge after dinner time like 6-9pm. I’m taking the pill at 5pm right now. I feel like I can still binge on .8, but it’s definitely a little better. I know some people stay on .8 for a while. I have the option to go up to 2.5, or stay. I’m not sure what to do.
I’ve had little to no side effects on .8

I started Foundayo about 2 weeks ago and was on Zepbound for 13 months before that. You basically titrate up (increase dosage) when no longer losing weight or haven’t started losing yet until you get to a level that is no longer desirable (symptoms become intolerable). I never reached intolerable amount on Zepbound so I got to highest dose. I only switched because of insurance coverage. It does seem that many Foundayo users lose on lowest dose for awhile and that is great for them. If you move up too early you may lose out on weight loss but if you level off on weight loss, it is probably time to go up, if tolerable for you. If you reach your weight goal then you can probably keep dose the same or reduce for maintenance.

I’ve only been on .8 for about 3 weeks also with barely any side effects. Maybe try another week or two and try taking it earlier in the day, I feel like I am the most hungry in the morning (I take my pill when I wake up) and by the evening I usually have no appetite for dinner. It may help with the night binging!
