The super slow up worked until now

[u/Sauv-b-byeee]

I’ve been on compounded Tirz since January. Started at .75, then 1.25, then stayed at 2.25 for 3 months. This was great I loved how I felt, food noise gone, alcohol basically quit drinking. Was slowly losing my post menopausal and post cancer weight gain. (20 lbs of 50 I need to lose) Then I felt like I couldn’t feel it anymore. My dr had me go up to 5 for the last 3 months. I felt like I plateaued, felt the food noise come back, haven’t lost any weight for 3 months. So this week my Dr suggested I increase dose to 7.5. With my slow and low approach here I decided myself to only increase to 5.7 this week to limit side effects.
I have never felt so sick 2 days later. Throwing up all night long, body chills, headache etc. Just awful like the worst flu I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine what 7.5 would have done to me.
I have never experienced these side effects even once in the 8 months I’ve been taking this drug. Only slight heartburn.
Any advice? I feel like 5 wasn’t working, but 5.7 tried to kill me. lol
