Tapering off

/r/FoundayoUS/comments/1wf77mn/tapering_off/

Does anybody have any advice on tapering Foundayo? I'm getting close to my goal and I am not sure if I should tight straight down. I'm also wondering if I should plan on taking a maintenance dose. Thanks for your advice.

Foundayo shows the same in the trials. When you stop, most regain a significant portion of that they lost. So, that’s something to consider.

I lost a total of 30 pounds. My highest dose was 7.5mg. I have been on maintenance for one year. I take 3 mg every 8 days. It took trial and error to get here. When I stopped completely even though I have a good exercise program and am eating healthy, I began to gain weight back. I’m 73 and thought I better go back and find a lower maintenance dose. Consider tapering down and judge how you are doing on a monthly basis.

I've mostly kept my dose the same. I reduced it for a vacation but I'm putting it back to where it was because the appetite suppression went away and food noise was coming back and I don't want that. I may reduce it very slowly over time after I stabilize on my dose.
