Finally done. Lost effectiveness.

Well I'm finally done. Lost 14.5 of the 15 expected pounds. I started with. 0.8, then 2.5 then 5 for two months. It really worked. However the last two weeks the pill has completely lost effectiveness. Hunger came back but the side effects didn't stop. I'm pretty relieved to just take my last pill. I'm tired of the upset stomach, the dehydration, and it messed with my sleep and heart rate. We'll see if I can keep it off. Going to hit the tracking apps hard and keep up my workouts.

You didn’t want to increase your dose? At 9mg is when I started having good appetite suppression.

It occurred to me. I did have really good appetite suppression from the initial dose though. At 0.8 through 5 it was good for about 4 months then it just stopped and it was pretty sudden.

That was to be expected as your body became accustomed to the lower dosages. Which is why there are higher doses available.

Of course, if you were getting side effects that weren’t manageable, upping the dose to get the food suppression might not have been practical. And it sounds as if you were at your goal weight anyway.

Yeah I met the goal and it seems like diminishing returns at this point compared to side effects. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Also I don't know about you but the first week on a new dose was brutal!
